About me
Dr Henrique Tavares Furtado completed his PhD in Politics from the University of Manchester in 2016, when he joined the Politics and IR programme at UWE.
His past research investigated the memory of authoritarianism and reactionary violence in Brazil, focusing on the rise of far-right leader Jair Bolsonaro in the context of a backlash against the findings of the country's first truth commission. His present research investigates the role of war metaphors (such as culture wars) in structuring the political platform, agenda and dreamworlds of the contemporary global far-right and post-fascist movements.
His first monograph Politics of Impunity: Torture, the Armed Forces and the Failure of Transitional Justice in Brazil (EUP, 2022) was praised as “formidable” in particular “for scholars and the general public concerned with the far-right ascension” (Pfeimer 2023) and as “radically rethinking the very foundations of the idea of transitional justice” (Auchter 2022). He has published numerous research articles in high ranked journals such as Security Dialogue, International Political Sociology, European Journal of International Security, Review of International Studies, Critical Security Studies, Critical Studies on Terrorism, Critical Military Studies, The Journal for the Study of Radicalism and others.
Dr Tavares Furtado is a founding member of the Reactionary Politics Research Network (RPRN), a former Director and Trustee of the charity Latin American Bureau (LAB) and a former Convener of BISA’s Poststructural Politics Working Group (PPWG).
