O objetivo do artigo é examinar a interação entre religião, sexo e cor/raça num modelo que investiga o voto em Bolsonaro.

Chapter
This chapter focuses on debasement language in contemporary Brazilian political communication, analyzing Jair Bolsonaro's YouTube livestreams from 2019 to 2020.

As formas como as democracias morrem apresentam formas difíceis de se captar e isso não consiste em um problema estritamente metodológico. Por outro lado, é a própria natureza do objeto que delineia os desafios analíticos. A partir de cada teórico das crises democráticas é possível pensar elementos da transição política, porém, a própria base teóri...

Resumo No debate sobre a influência da religião sobre o voto, uma das dimensões analisadas é a comportamental, em especial o hábito de frequentar os cultos. Nesse debate, considera-se que os mais frequentes nos cultos estão mais expostos às mensagens políticas de suas lideranças religiosas. Seguindo essa perspectiva, testamos a hipótese de que a fr...
Preprint
This paper tried to measure the effect of the Brazilian culture war on the vote for Bolsonaro in 2018. We argue that religious leaders' cues mediated the effect of religious affiliation on the vote for Bolsonaro because these cues reinforced the role developed by him as a warrior in this moral crusade. We also argued that the exposition to these cu...

O fim da democracia, no modelo clássico das transições políticas, pode ser evidenciado tanto através da ascensão do fascismo e do nazismo nos anos 30, além das ditaduras portuguesa e espanhola (entre as décadas de 30 e 70), quanto pelas tentativas triunfantes de golpes militares nos países latino-americanos entre os anos 60 e 70 do último século.
