| Summary: |
In this article I investigate the idea of ethics in terms of the theory and practice of the
discourse of the so-called left, to have assumed significance within the framework of Latin
American social movements, with a particular emphasis on Brazil. This analysis provides
theoretical basis on how the categories of hegemony, proposed by Ernesto Laclau, and
event, developed by Alain Badiou, extrapolate their theoretical limits when considered in
terms of political practice. Based on the real-life example of the election to the presidency
of Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, an icon and leading figure in the Workers� Party (PT), I
emphasize how the exercise of power blends with a certain concept of ethics to construct
political discourse, and which strategies are employed in these hegemonic fields in the
search for legitimacy. The primary source of analysis in this work is the documentary film
by João Moreira Salles (Entre-Atos), along with some other supplementary sources. |
