Discourse, Radical Right, Argentine, BrazilAbstract
The objective of this article is to verify the relevance of the concept of Populist Radical Right Parties, developed by Cas Mudde, which is part of the theoretical mainstream that analyzes the discourses of far-right (extremist and radical) movements by confronting them with the cases of Latin America and proposing adaptations to understand these phenomena. This conceptualization understands that far-right movements are characterized by the simultaneous presence of three traits: authoritarianism, populism, and nativism. The study was conducted based on videos posted by representatives of the right-wing movements in Argentina and Brazil on their own YouTube channels. It is concluded that the limited perspective of European and North American theorists to their own contexts prevents them from realizing that far-right movements in the Latin America region are defined by subalternity, seeking legitimacy through the approximation to foreign models of politics, culture, and morality.
