SUMMARY:

The last few years have been marked by a conservative upsurge in Brazilian politics. The 2018 elections indicated the emergence of actors and actresses in institutional politics who were declared anti-feminist and with misogynistic speeches associated with movements based on political radicalization. Based on the assumption that this movement presents itself as a counter-response to the advances and struggles of feminist agendas envisioned in the last decade, this doctoral thesis aimed to analyze the advancement of narratives and adherence to anti-feminism and its consequences in the institutional policy of female federal deputies of the 56th Legislature elected linked to the far-right ideological spectrum, starting in 2018, with the election of Jair Bolsonaro to the Presidency of the Republic. The adherence and organization of anti-feminist speeches gained space, boosting female candidates who linked themselves to the figure of Bolsonaro throughout the electoral process, supported by a conception of family to be defended. Thus, aligning his image with that of someone who represents guardianship, protection and support for the feminine who, in this ideology, is threatened by the onslaught of the feminist agenda. Based on a bibliographical review on the rise of far-right governments, we propose a theoretical debate based on empirical examples from the electoral campaigns of eighteen federal deputies. Thus, mobilizing specialized literature to explore the central hypothesis that Bolsonarism has become an incubator of anti-feminist political actresses. For this, the Facepager software was used to collect data from both Facebook, YouTube and Twitter. Thus, it was possible to analyze the content posted by far-right elected representatives, such as videos, texts, lives and saints. Among the results, a gap was observed in Social Sciences regarding anti-feminist collective actions, which aim to dilute women's struggles. It is also concluded that the junction between neoliberalism and neoconservatism combined with the increased use of cyberspace are extremely important for the maintenance of gender inequalities and the oppression of women. Furthermore, it is possible to point out that Brazilian anti-feminism consolidates the dispute around categories that are dear to this social movement, such as representation, motherhood, femininity and the category of woman itself. Finally, it is possible to state that the period of analysis (2018-2022) demarcated that the antifeminism discussed here can be called “state antifeminism” and that its purpose is to enter institutional politics to extinguish agendas that permeate feminism.
