Authoritarian neoliberalism, urban peripheries and the rise of the extreme right in Brazil
基于圣保罗边缘地区的田野调查，识别城市大众阶层中的进步与保守群体，分析其共存机制，对理解极右翼兴起有参考价值。
This article examines the coexistence of progressive and conservative discourses among Brazil’s urban popular classes, challenging binary interpretations of peripheral mobilisations as either emancipatory or aligned with ‘popular conservatism’. Based on ethnographic fieldwork in the periphery of São Paulo and informed by debates on neoliberalism and the rise of the far right, the analysis identifies four progressive and three conservative publics among the urban popular classes. It argues that progressive publics are held together by geographically situated social capital, whereas conservative publics are primarily structured around moral capital.
