Between fears, expectations and belongings: nostalgic speeches and political resonances in the Parliamentary Front in Defense of Education without Ideological Indoctrination

Abstract

This article seeks to map the theoretical debate regarding some representations of time and the emotions, linked through contemporary diagnoses, considering the hypothesis of nostalgia as a resource for political desires in the face of a future represented as insecure and a present marked by the diagnosis of exhaustion. The work explores the theoretical debate on historical temporalities and their forms of appropriation from the point of view of subjectivities in culture and politics. In the second part, I seek to raise a reflection on insecurities, through the transition between generations, to the debate on contemporary exhaustion, through sociological theories. Next, an analysis is made of the documents of the Parliamentary Front in Defense of Education without Ideological Indoctrination (FPDEDI), a political movement linked to nostalgia for belonging capable of rescuing resignified pasts in order to nourish expectations. The work also aims to explore the analytical performance of themes such as emotions, politics and discourses based on contemporary insecurities.
