Hate Rock : instrumento político para os neofascismos do Brasil e dos Estados Unidos (1990-2010)

Abstract

The present dissertation is the result of a research that investigated the presence of neofascisms in Brazil and the United States, between the years of 1990 and 2010, through a musical genre known as Hate Rock. An instrument of ideological diffusion and political empowerment, this type of music is also a record of the transformations that fascisms have undergone, motivated by the persistence of their adepts in maintaining them after the end of classical fascist regimes. These processes resulted in ruptures and permanence with the past, maintaining the core of this political behavior at the same time that transformed it to serve the present. Through a comparative analysis of the discourses forged by relevant gender bands in the two countries, representatives in their neofascist movements, we will perceive the differences and similarities between these discourses. With this, we seek a synthesis that emphasizes the work of the neofascists considering the influences of the political and cultural particularities of each country, as well as the influences caused by the relations between both of them
