Abstract

ABSTRACT In this paper we draw on the concept of fantasy and the principles of political discourse theory to develop an analytical framework for the study of Veja's anti-populist discourse. As one of Brazil's most influential publications in elite policy-making circles, Veja exerts considerable influence over the way populist politics is portrayed and understood. By tracking the signifiers ‘populism’ and ‘populist’ in the pages of this weekly magazine, our study affirms the distinctive virtues of adopting a psychoanalytically-informed perspective on political antagonism and ideology, treating fantasy as a core concept in the study of polarizing discourses generally and discourses about populism in particular. Far from remaining above the fray in its opposition to the discourses of both Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva (and the Workers’ Party) and Jair Bolsonaro (and the Social Liberal Party), our critical fantasy study shows how Veja's pronouncements were both ideologically invested and normatively inflected.

反民粹主义幻想:质疑维贾的话语结构,从卢拉到博尔索纳罗
本文借鉴幻想的概念和政治话语理论的原则,为研究维贾的反民粹主义话语构建了一个分析框架。作为巴西精英决策圈中最具影响力的出版物之一,《经济日报》对民粹主义政治的描述和理解方式具有相当大的影响力。通过追踪本周刊中“民粹主义”和“民粹主义”的能指,我们的研究肯定了采用精神分析的观点来研究政治对抗和意识形态的独特优点,将幻想作为研究两极分化话语的核心概念,特别是关于民粹主义的话语。在反对路易斯Inácio卢拉·达席尔瓦(以及工人党)和雅伊尔·博尔索纳罗(以及社会自由党)的话语方面,我们的批判性幻想研究远远没有保持在争论之上,而是显示了维贾的声明是如何在意识形态上和规范上受到影响的。
