Family relations, gender and the great opposite: totalitarian shades in Brazil of the crisis

Abstract

The recent impeachment process of President Dilma Rousseff and the taking presidential election of Michel Temer, in 2016, there was no consensus among Brazilians. Participating daily in the political debate marked by strong social stigmatizations, we sometimes treated and treated the other as a rival. In this polarized environment, the subjects' strategy was often to ridicule, exclude and / or deny the other. In this sense, this article is an effort to understand this period of political trampling that we are experiencing and feeling in everyday life when within the family we have to live with a “great opposite” in times of crisis; to reveal a latent conflict with those we love and that this crisis scenario has not spared. We started from experiences and daily reports to understand these political tensions with authoritarian tones that settled in the family environment when hostility and love, in short, were confused. We also highlight the gender asymmetries in the bosom and in the family conflict in which stereotypes emerge from the political conflict, to think how the denial of the other, while representing the saving of oneself, does not do so without causing suffering in the displacement and suspension of status on the family card.
