UCHOA, Marcela da Silva  e  TEIXEIRA FILHO, Francisco Luciano. Brazilian Authoritarianism and the Daily Life of War. Revista Crítica de Ciências Sociais [online]. 2023, n.132, pp.49-74.  Epub 31-Dez-2023. ISSN 2182-7435.  https://doi.org/10.4000/rccs.15109.

It is argued that the state of war that permeates Brazilian urban sociability is not a mere analogy, but a movement proper to the bourgeois democratic system. Based on Agamben’s theoretical proposal, it seeks to reveal the violent model of maintaining the friend-enemy dichotomy, and how this is shown in Brazilian urban conflicts, especially in the case of Rio de Janeiro. Finally, the resurgence of violence through social and open fascism is presented, which tends to intensify urban warfare. From this, a critique of the Brazilian left is established, which has shown itself to be incapable of giving answers to this typical phenomenon.

Palavras-chave : fascism; liberal democracy; state of exception; urban violence; Rio de Janeiro (Brazil).
