“…Consider, for instance, that it was the political pressure from Supreme Court justices in dictatorial times that prevented the creation of a distinct constitutional court-with new members and above the Federal Supreme Court-by the new constitution. 61 Pontes de Miranda, who died in 1979, and Hely Lopes Meirelles, who died in 1990, are still among the scholars whom judges cite the most. 62…”

This article provides an overview of the juridical discourse that acted as a basis for the historical development of Brazilian illiberalism. Without setting aside the question of an inner tension between liberal and illiberal theories of Brazilian constitutionalism, but focusing primarily on antiliberal and illiberal positions, this article presents the leading theories of Brazilian constitutional scholars. It shows that the seeds of illiberalism were planted under the flag of a specific type of authoritarian constitutionalism, which was developed under different constitutions, but which mainly refers to the 1937 Constitution. It discusses the theories of movements such as integralismo, the legal thought of authors such as Francisco José Oliveira Viana and Francisco Campos, and concepts such as national security. The article also explores, under the 1988 Constitution, the authoritarian reminiscences that favored the structuring and diffusion of the current Bolsonarist illiberalism. Finally, it debates the chances for the endurance of illiberalism in Brazil and whether or not it could benefit from wider popular acceptance.

“…65 Emílio Peluso Neder Meyer afirma que em períodos de crise política os juízes se identificam como símbolos da estabilidade, não que essa seja uma competência concedida pela Constituição, mas sim fruto de como essas autoridades se veem dentro do sistema. 66 Logo, diante da crise das demais instituições, o Judiciário assume o papel de garante da estabilidade.…”

Este artigo tem como objetivo avaliar como o combate à corrupção pode afetar as garantias individuais. A metodologia utilizada é o levantamento bibliográfico, o que permitiu a análise de diferentes perspectivas sobre o tema. Os resultados mostram que, em alguns casos, o combate à corrupção pode levar a um estado de exceção judicial, onde as garantias individuais são violadas em nome da luta contra a corrupção. Além disso, em algumas situações pode-se revestir como lawfare, que é a utilização do sistema jurídico como arma política, também uma forma de violação das garantias individuais no contexto do combate à corrupção. Dessa forma, o artigo conclui que é importante que o combate à corrupção seja realizado de forma justa e equilibrada, garantindo as liberdades individuais e a democracia.

“…As a consequence of Lava Jato, Lula was condemned for corruption acts—based on fragile evidence (cf. Meyer 2018 )—and forbidden to run for the presidency in 2018, clearing way for Bolsonaro’s victory; subsequently, the president nominated Moro for the Ministry of Justice (cf. Albuquerque and Gagliardi 2020 , in print).…”

This article summarizes the development of education and research in Communication Studies in Brazil. It is argued that different factors contributed to the development of the particular features that Brazilian Communication Studies present nowadays. They include: the late development of Brazilian universities, in comparison to the western societies, but also to other Latin American countries; the relatively early development of Communication programs, beginning from the late 1940s, following the example of the United States; state interventionism in the universities' curricula, and the influence exerted by other non-academic social actors, such as journalists' unions. As the result of the influence of these factors, Communication Studies organized according to two entirely different logics: undergraduate studies focus on specialized professional fields (such as Journalism, Advertising, Public Relations, Cinema) and adopt a practical approach with respect to them; otherwise, graduate studies employ a much more general and academic approach focusing on Communication as a whole. The article also discusses the challenges faced by Communication Studies at present, resulting both from the changes in the media landscape and a hostile political scenario, associated with the rise of Jair Bolsonaro, an ultra-rightist politician who openly disdains science (and human sciences in particular).
