The new outlines of anti-Semitism, the construction of imaginary by the media in Brazil and the writing of History:

singularities and dangers

Abstract

The recent waves of anti-Semitic attacks and negative speeches, albeit with greater force in the European and North American context, reverberated and have been echoing in Brazilian public life, especially in the Web 2.0 environment. Our goal is to analyze the frequent episodes of Schoá denial and hostility and threat to groups that, like the Jews, have become targets of hatred and racism on the various digital platforms and existing social networks. To this end, we turn to authors who in their studies pay attention to the use of the term anti-Semitism and the complexity of it when dealing with the concept in the different times and spaces where their analyzes go. We add to this the notions brought by Bronislaw Baczko (1985) around that of social imaginary, in order to understand the past that refers to the phenomenon of anti-Semitism and the new outlines that are currently felt and that, as we will see here, do not go unnoticed.
