ABSTRACT:
The January 8th attacks in Brasília indicate the importance of collecting what emerged there as an expression of intrinsic (and not conjunctural) difficulties in Brazil. Relating the extreme hatred and destructiveness of the attacks with our colonial origin, the division of classes, races and cultures in which we have always maintained ourselves stands out. A fierce antagonism that leads to segregation and violence and prevents us from forming a collective that truly includes the diversity of the Brazilian population. Decolonial criticism, taken up with psychoanalysis and the ethics that accompanies it, allows us to resituate the tensions of current Brazil and opens the chance for a real commitment to the social bond, the environment, and the others.
