Colapso iminente: uma análise da reprodução da racionalidade neoliberal no governo do RS frente a Covid-19

Abstract

The present research aims to contribute to the neoliberal rationality embedded in governance debate, specifically in the field of Covid-19 struggle politics, knowing that a critical moment (BOLTANSKI E THÉVENOT, 1999) was constructed in all societies. Our main objective was to analyze how the influence from the neoliberal rationality was embedded in the government management from the governor of the state of Rio Grande do Sul, Eduardo Leite, through his political speech in their official lives of government pages (Facebook/Youtube). In the specific objectives, we analyzed how the governor speeches could be related to themes in the Covid 19 pandemic combat, involving dualities that might represent or not an neoliberal rationality, created through our theoretical references, mainly Brown (2020), Foucault (1982; 2008), Dardot & Laval (2016 a e b; 2019 a e b), Anderson (1999) and Gros (2008). We also analyzed the top two Think Tanks of RS, to relationate them with the content of the lives from the governor. To execute this research we utilizate an thematic analysis (BARDIN, 1977) of qualitative nature to study the Lives and Think Tanks.
