(Portuguese) A guerra da cultura na Ucrânia: A luta contra o pluralismo global

Abstract
The war in Ukraine posed new challenges to the geopolitical order and derogated Fukuyama’s classical proposal of the end of history. Fukuyama recently recognised the existence of a new struggle based on antagonistic political-social models between a globalist left and a nativist right concerning migration, refugees, race, gender, and pluralism. This represents a culture war, considering the post-material dimension of the ideologies in confront. The article explores the circumstance of a culture war in the Russian-Ukrainian conflict that, despite the secondary relevance, unveils a struggle against the «western way of life», i.e., the globalist model based on pluralism and minorities’ fundamental rights. ____ A guerra na Ucrânia lançou novos desafios no plano da geopolítica, derrogando a clássica proposta teórica de Fukuyama de “fim da história”. O mesmo autor reconhece, em trabalho recente, a existência de uma nova batalha assente em modelos político--sociais antagónicos, entre uma esquerda globalista e uma direita nativista, em matérias como migração, refugiados, raça, género e pluralismo. Considerando a dimensão pós- -material das ideologias em confronto, a presente tensão configura as chamadas “guerras culturais”. O artigo explora o conflito militar entre a Rússia e a Ucrânia a partir de um prisma de “guerra cultural”. Não obstante a dimensão secundária desta natureza de conflito, o mesmo revela a existência de um combate ao dito “modo de vida ocidental”, i.e., um modelo globalista baseado no pluralismo e nos direitos fundamentais das minorias.
