O avanço do conservadorismo no Brasil no período de 2018-2023 e seus reflexos na formação política e cultural dos adolescentes

Abstract

This study examines the rise of conservatism in Brazil and its effects on the political and cultural formation of adolescents, focusing on the 2018 electoral cycle and the government of Jair Bolsonaro (inauguration on 01/01/2019; end on 01/01/2023). Based on bibliographic research, the work combines theoretical frameworks and empirical studies on conservatism, youth, and political socialization. It aims to outline the features of contemporary conservatism and to identify how family, religion, media, and school settings interact to shape adolescents’ values, perceptions, and political behavior. The analysis emphasizes the dissemination of conservative narratives across institutional and digital spheres and reflects on the implications for youth citizenship and the challenges for critical education. The study contributes by synthesizing existing literature on identity construction processes and by suggesting directions for pedagogical interventions and further research.
