POLICIES AGAINST GENDER AND PROCESSES OF (DES)DEMOCRATIZATION IN BRAZIL
The project involves a set of academic research, teaching and extension activities based on the systematic study of the organization of the anti-gender offensive and its transdisciplinary and transnational character in the present time as a tensional phenomenon of erosion of democracies and production of autocracies within institutions and society itself. In this sense, the project proposes an analytical systematization of partially collected data that will be systematized, analyzed and reflected during the residency. Its consequence is not only the understanding of the centrality of gender in the processes of dedemocratization, the production of ultra-conservative and neoliberal public policies and the dimensions of the processes of political subjectivation, but also the creation of a database of official documents from Brazilian institutions produced in the under the government of Jair Messias Bolsonaro, installed as a permanent offensive in the Brazilian State itself.
