This essay offers empirical evidence that Brexit has had a profoundly divisive effect on British society from the micro to the macro level, and threatens the very union of nations that makes up the United Kingdom. The campaign for the UK to leave the EU ('Brexit') in the 2016 referendum exploited xenophobic and racist sentiment, thereby creating linguistic and symbolic violence which has managed to pervade popular discourse and consciousness, and which may foreshadow an increase in actual violence. It is suggested here that violence and fear lie at the heart of populism and that all populist movements rely on them, as well as ignorance, to first gain and then maintain support. Acting against the global trend towards populism, the current younger generation; education; civil society and Art are offered as avenues of hope for the future. Neste artigo, Sara Roberts, anteriormente investigadora e jornalista da BBC - atualmente professora e escritora, oferece suas impressões pessoais sobre o recente aumento do populismo na Grã-Bretanha, com base em suas experiências em Oxford, onde vive. Este trabalho oferece evidência empírica de que o Brexit tem tido um efeito profundamente divisório na sociedade britânica, do nível micro ao macro, e ameaça a própria união das nações que compõem o Reino Unido. A campanha para o Reino Unido deixar a UE ("Brexit") no referendo de 2016 explorou sentimentos xenófobos e racistas, criando assim uma violência linguística e simbólica que conseguiu permear o discurso e a consciência popular e que pode prenunciar um aumento da violência real. Sugere-se aqui que a violência e o medo estão no cerne do populismo e que todos os movimentos populistas contam com eles, e ainda com a ignorância, para primeiro ganhar e depois manter o apoio. Agindo contra a tendência global para o populismo, a atual geração mais jovem, a educação, a sociedade civil e a arte são oferecidas como vias de esperança para o futuro. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y custom: Copyright of Trabalhos em Lingüística Aplicada is the property of Universidade Estadual de Campinas - Portal de Periodicos Eletronicos Cientificos and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites without the copyright holder's express written permission.
