Populism and religion in Brazil and Mexico. A brief reflection

  • Nicolas Panotto

Keywords: agonism, evangelical camp, identity, populist logic, politics.

Whe following article seeks to react to Joanildo Burity's study entitled "The evangelical people: hegemonic construction, minority disputes and conservative reaction", which deals with the construction of "evangelical politics" based on the notions of "people" and "populist logic", from the work of Ernesto Laclau. The objective is to highlight the relevance of his contribution in the resignification of some analysis matrixes on the evangelical identity and its relation with the public space. To this end, Burity's proposal will be complemented with the use of other categories within Laclau's own scaffolding, together with the contributions of the production from the Southern Cone regarding the evangelical field.
