Disponível em: https://www.revistas.ufg.br/revfd/article/view/55736/27050.http://repositorio.bc.ufg.br/handle/ri/18123The objective of this article is to present a generic conceptual framework for the reception of global neoliberal reason in Brazil, as postulated by Wendy Brown, Dardot e Laval, through one of its strategies, legal activism. This activism, present throughout the entire period of the Workers' Party government, for not anchored in the assumptions necessary for its success, namely, solid political and legal institutions and a reasonably established democratic culture, led the country to right-wing authoritarian populism, maintaining and reinforcing the old structure of local and anti-modern oligarchic domination, in tune with the ultramodern global oligarchy, as well as neofeudal, as Streeck defines it, in seeking to promote a moral reform of politics.porAcesso AbertoNeoliberalismoPopulismo autoritárioAtivismo jurídicoReforma moralNeoliberalismAuthoritarian populismJudicial activismMoral reformArtigo10.5216/rfd.v42i2.55736e- 0101-7187
