In this work I investigate the idea of ethics in terms of the theory and practice of the discourse of the so-called left, to have assumed significance within the framework of Latin American social movements, with a particular emphasis on Brazil. A theoretical basis is provided by our investigation into how the categories of hegemony, proposed by Ernesto Laclau, and event, developed by Alain Badiou, extrapolate their theoretical limits when considered in terms of political practice. Based on the real-life example of the election to the presidency of Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, an icon and leading figure in the Workers’ Party (PT), I intend to analyze how the exercise of power blends with a certain concept of ethics to construct political discourse, and which strategies are employed in these hegemonic fields in the search for legitimacy. The material for the analysis in question is mainly provided by the documentary film by João Moreira Salles (Intermissions), along with some other supplementary sources.
