Through an analysis of Bolsonaro's speeches during his
official campaign, we aim to identify the presence of populist traits in
his discourse. Preliminary results suggest that Bolsonaro's discourse
have, compared to its predecessors, higher levels of populism.
As a theoretical framework, we use the ideational approach to
populism. The data was collected and analyzed by Team Populism
using the "holistic grading" textual analysis method. Results
revealed that, despite his anti-elite, polarizing, and Manichean
speech, Bolsonaro is an incomplete populist. In his rhetoric,
populist traits vie for space with patriotic elements. |
