The person in contemporary contexts of right-wing populism: an uncomfortable study by Luiz Fernando Dias Duarte, Marco Julián Martínez-Moreno

“…The challenge of contemporary anthropology in relation to ‘uncomfortable’ phenomena, such as right-wing populism and the construction of the person involved in it, was the methodological and ethical focus adopted for this work. To achieve this, the historical antecedents of the phenomenon are revisited, and an overview of classical and contemporary theories and hypotheses are discussed-which enables us to recognise a structured pattern of affects, values, representations and practices that are reactive to enlightened Western modernity. …”
