GOMES, Luiz Roberto. Multiple-faces authoritarianism in Brazil: anti-Semitism, Bolsonarism and Education. Rev. Elet. Educ. [online]. 2020, vol.14, e4532136.  Epub Oct 29, 2020. ISSN 1982-7199.  https://doi.org/10.14244/198271994532.

This article addresses the theme of authoritarianism in Brazil, by reflecting on three fundamental concepts: anti-Semitism, Bolsonarism and education. For the development of the argumentation that supports the article thesis, three aspects will be highlighted: the first relates to the understanding of the historical-cultural configuration of Brazilian society, which amalgamates a kind of Brazilian-style authoritarianism; the second addresses the possible link between Bolsonarism and the elements of antisemitism, which were developed by Horkheimer and Adorno in 1947; and the third reinforces the need for critical self-reflection, as a practical manifestation of non-conformity and combating the diverse authoritarianisms in Brazil.

Keywords : Authoritarianism; Anti-Semitism; Bolsonarism; Critical Theory and Education.
