SUMMARY:

The present work has as its main object of study the academic contributions of the professor and sociologist Jessé Souza, as well as his critical theory produced in order to demystify the dominant ideas of Brazilian social thinking, especially those produced in the 1930s by Gilberto Freyre and Sérgio Buarque de Holanda, and later continued and expanded to intellectuals such as Raymundo Faoro, Roberto DaMatta, among others. The objective is to analyze how Souza identifies the existence of a conservative science and a historiographical tradition in the Brazilian intellectuality, both responsible for building a national identity supported by culturalism and patrimonialism, being that way at the service of a small financial elite. According to Souza, these totalizing ideas end up naturalizing inequalities and making the production and reproduction of a rabble of invisible sub-citizens, thus legitimizing a culture of coups d'état sponsored by the elites and the middle classes against radically transformative, inclusive and reformists political projects. Our intention is to examine the possible theoretical and/or methodological limits present in his analyses, which, according to the author, aim to build a new totalizing narrative about Brazilian society. Finally, we will investigate the causes and reasons raised by the sociologist that explain the recent rise of the extreme right wing in Brazil, as well as his theoretical contributions to building a new ideological architecture for the left wing in Brazil.
