Neofascismo, anti-imperialismo e Quarta Teoria Política: o pensamento de Aleksandr Dugin no Brasil e a atuação do grupúsculo Nova Resistência

Abstract

This dissertation analyzes the thought of Aleksandr Dugin and its diffusion in Brazil through the activities of the group Nova Resistência, understanding this process as part of a broader reorganization of revolutionary right wing thought in the contemporary world. By examining Dugin’s intellectual trajectory, from his early involvement in Soviet esoteric circles to his consolidation as one of the main theorists of the Russian and international far right, the research investigates the theoretical foundations of Duginism, with particular emphasis on Integral Traditionalism, Neo Eurasianism, geopolitics and the formulation of the Fourth Political Theory. The study demonstrates how these ideas, originally developed within the Russian and Eurasian context, are appropriated, reinterpreted and operationalized by Nova Resistência in order to construct a reading of Brazilian reality and to propose an antiliberal, anti imperialist and palingenetic political project. Through an analysis of the group’s theoretical core, its metapolitical strategies and its position within the Brazilian far right, the dissertation highlights the emergence of a dissident neofascism that seeks to transcend the traditional left right dichotomy and to present itself as an alternative to the contemporary liberal order. By contrasting Dugin’s original formulations with their Brazilian reinterpretation, the research contributes to the study of the far right in Brazil, the transnational circulation of illiberal ideologies and the contemporary reconfigurations of historical fascism.
