• What Happened to O Movimento Brasil Livre? Digital Media Activism and the Weakness of Indignation Struggles for Social Revolutions Stuart Davis

  Time

  12:00 - 1:00 pm

  Location

  Coble Hall, 801 South Wright Street Champaign, Room 306.

  This talk examines how MBL used social media to mobilize mass anti-left sentiment yet failed to turn that energy into lasting political power. It argues that digital “indignation politics” can amplify outrage—but struggles to build durable institutions—helping explain the rise of Bolsonarismo’s more reactionary agenda.
