Description
Summary:The article addresses the confluence between education and politics, reflecting on the role of social memory in Brazil, where the extreme right advances with the support of voters who adhere to hate speech. First, I will conduct a theoretical debate on the relationship between politics, memory and education, thus framing the categories that guide the reflections developed throughout the text. Second, I will narrate my ethnographic experience in the Brazilian presidential elections of 2018 and my dialogue with Carlos, a young black man from the Brazilian city of Foz do Iguaçu, recipient of educational aid from the government of the Workers’ Party and a Bolsonaro voter. In the final remarks, I will identify the place of social memory and the “inventories of the memory” as a tool for prevailing, from education to the political foreclosure of the subjects.
