Faced with State inefficiency in housing provision, the occupation of the Cambridge Hotel, located on the outskirts of São Paulo’s city center, was used as a case study to identify possibilities in the struggle for social housing. The building, initially a hotel built in the 1950s, closed in 2002, was expropriated in 2011, and occupied by the Downtown Homeless Movement (Movimento Sem Teto do Centro) in 2012. The movement, after social tensions and participation in participatory councils, obtained the donation of the property and its license in a federal requalification program. Through qualitative analysis of the housing deficit in Brazil, characterized by the excessive burden of rents and the precariousness of real estate, in contrast to housing policies focused on the production of units through development programs in peripheral locations, it is understood that the analysis of the determining factors for the case study’s feasibility can contribute to the discussion of government policies and actions. The methodology, based on the procedural field, observational methods, and literature review in the logical field, was structured in dialectical and inductive methods for the research, systematization, and critical analysis of bibliographic and documentary references and, in empirical processes, in the qualitative analysis of semi-structured interviews and onsite visits. It was concluded that the power of dialogue and formation of the movement’s networks and its strategy, based on surrounding itself with actors that solidify its struggle, contributed to the viability of the Cambridge Hotel as a residential property. Based on the data analyzed, it is also argued that the participation of municipalities is undeniable in enabling the provision of housing in central areas. However, considering the hegemonic bias identified, the political action of social movements and the participation of academia in its instrumentalization are essential to strengthen the Capital-State relationship and enable the collation of territorial policies that the right to the city contemplates.

I discuss ways of narrating a territory from the voices of the political-cultural collective Comunidade Cultural Quilombaque with the aim of analyzing how a counter-narrative disputes the meanings of the territory with the dominant narrative. I combine the literature on counter-narratives, which focuses on the construction of storylines that oppose dominant forms, and on public action, which is central to emphasizing the role of individuals, groups and movements in the construction of what is understood as public, to carry out the task of interpreting the ways in which actors mobilize to counter their narrative to the dominant discourse on the peripheral territory. I used in-depth interviews with the collective's leaders and the analysis of secondary material, which allowed me to read the ways in which the movement narrates itself. It is from another way of narrating their territory that they manage to bring out their potential. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In the following article we analyze the relationship between different governance models and democratisation. To do so, we first address the more structural dimension of the issue. We observe that there is a structural relationship between governance and neoliberal governmentality; however, we find models such as those proposed by Sonia Bussu and Adrián Bua that offer us instruments to think of alternative ways of approaching the issue. Furthermore, we analyze their theoretical framework in relation to consolidated proposals such as Charles Tilly's theory of democracy. Finally, we apply the theoretical concepts to the case of Hernani Burujabe, an innovative case of democracy-driven governance.

Following the April 25th 1974 revolution, a village in the municipality of Belmonte (Portugal) became the scene of a six-year conflict between a group of small-holder landowners joined by part of the community and a mining company. This article, result of a historical-anthropological study based on ethnographic work and archival research, revisits this socio-environmental conflict, examining the process of local collective mobilisation and the interactions between local and external actors. The motives behind collective mobilization against mining are examined in the context of the post-25th of April structural political transformation. The analysis explores how the post-revolutionary context and the memories of past environmental destruction fueled the villagers' repertoires and vocabularies of contention. Observing the Gaia conflict through the lens of the Revolution allows us to look at the revolutionary process from a micro-sociological perspective, showing the processes of political transformation after the 25th of April and the role of popular participation in the democratization of the country, as well as the institutional disputes over State control and the struggles around the implementation of different development models and policies.

Organic production has an important challenge in the supply of inputs. Bio-inputs for biological control, through reference specifications, are presented as promising solutions. Therefore, this article analyzes the participation of bioinputs for biological control in Brazilian organic agriculture. To this end, it characterized the scenario of organic agriculture and biological control and then carried out, in two stages of research, an analysis of the opinions of experts in organic production. The results were positioned in the expansion of organic production and market, as well as biological control, both activities permeated by public policies. They also pointed out bioinputs as technologies that are little known and little used by organic producers, mainly small and medium-sized ones, a situation also observed for the instruments provided for in the reference specifications. Finally, the results indicated that overcoming this scenario lies in the integration between the policies being implemented, social movements and business actions, associated with the promotion of research and rural extension.

In this paper we present a categorization of autonomies implemented by indigenous and peasant movements in Latin America into three types: a) juridical versus de facto autonomies; b) explicit versus implicit autonomies; and c) (mono)ethnic versus popular or class-based autonomies. We argue that the debate concerning these different conceptions is of strategic importance both in the dialogue between indigenous and peasant struggles for the defense of territories, and in the question of peasant autonomy, understood as a strategy of struggle.

This article investigates the socio-political developments in Greece and Spain in the wake of the grassroots anti-austerity campaign from 2011 on, which have unfolded towards national parliaments and local spaces. It does so by analysing the institutionalisation of the populist radical Left as compared with the local-oriented agency of social movements in these two countries. It argues that these alternative approaches to social change and emancipation illustrate the contending paradigms of contemporary political thought reflecting upon collective movements, political action, and social transformation: the vertical politics of hegemony and the horizontal politics of the multitude. It firstly introduces these contending theoretical paradigms and then analyses the political trajectory of Podemos and SYRIZA from the squares to national parliaments vis-à-vis the radical agency of social movements transforming and generating socio-spatial entanglements at the local level. Lastly, the article puts forward theoretical possibilities for an alternative conceptualisation of grassroots radical agency and democratic politics in present times, seeking to reconcile the absolute democratic politics of the multitude with the broad counter-hegemonic revolutionary project.

Through the increased visibility of indigenous peoples on social media networks, a reflection of the instrumentalization of social movements for communication, the article reports on a quantitative and qualitative research targeted at indigenous popular communicators. Mapping conditioned by territorial ties to the Legal Amazon identifies 398 active profiles on Facebook, Instagram and Youtube, as well as pages with greater impact on each platform. The examination of activists' protagonism, through semi-structured interviews, also motivates an investigation into the uses and limitations of indigenous popular communication in a context of new mediations, where communication is acknowledged as a human right.

This article analyzes the communication strategies of the Movement of Those Affected by the Alcântara Space Base in Maranhão, Brazil, through a case study that uses semi-structured interviews and documentary research. It mobilizes concepts of social movements, the Black movement, and quilombola. It addresses the specificities of ethnic territory and discusses the role of communication in strengthening citizenship and the Black press as a means of counterhegemony. The analysis shows that, despite difficulties, MABE confronts dominant narratives and seeks to transform power relations through autonomous and adaptive communication, inseparable from its militancy.

Based on an exploratory study, this article aims to present and analyze the editorial characteristics, as well as identify the main themes addressed by the newspaper Brasil de Fato, a printed publication that had national circulation between 2003 and 2015. Considered one of the main experiences in the field of popular communication at the beginning of the century XXI, due to its critical, combative and left-wing perspective, the aforementioned newspaper offered a decisive contribution to the dissemination and strengthening of social struggles in Brazil, dealing, among other topics, with the agendas, challenges and achievements of social movements and progressive governments in several Latin American countries.

This article is the result of research carried out in rural education and pedagogy of alternation, in close articulation with social movements, in a historical and emancipatory perspective, developed in the PPGEA - Postgraduate Program in Agricultural Education, of UFRRJ - Universidade Federal Rural from Rio de Janeiro. Our main objective was to understand the construction process of the experiences of this Pedagogy of Alternation at the Escola Municipal de Agroecologia Vale do Tinguá, Nova Iguaçu, Rio de Janeiro, and its interfaces with human relations. The documental research was developed in bibliographic collections and interviews with the educators that work in the School. Among the sources of investigation, we used legislation, ordinances, decrees and theoretical references on Pedagogy of Alternation and rural education in social movements, in particular, Begnami (2004); Gimonet (2007); Freire (2002); Molina (2006) e Caldart (2012). The results show that rural education, in addition to constituting an immeasurable universe of wisdom in the area of Human and Social Sciences, contributes to the resistance of the oppressed class, considering that the traditional and plural knowledge of rural peoples were, for some reason, silenced, buried and forgotten, to the detriment of the interests of oppressive hegemonic capital. It is up to educators, students and social movements, in favor of the oppressed, to develop research that collaborates with the empowerment of the peasant working class. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The text is the result of bibliographical and exploratory research carried out in 2021. The proposed theme is the reflection on the Student Movement as part of the training of the interviewed subjects. The research carried out considered the bibliography of social movements as a theoretical basis, the history of the student movement in Brazil, pointing out articulations with other countries, and the survey, via form, of memories of former students of the Federal University of Mato Grosso do Sul (UFMS ), about experiences lived in the student movement. As a result, the analysis of the content and criticism of the testimonies allow us to point out continuities and changes in the repertoires of student struggles, the persistent demands, as well as inferring about the educational dimension of the student movement.

Abstract Alain Touraine’s theory on social movements (SMs) characterizes them as having their own collective identity, a defined opponent, and a dispute between these two opponents. This paper considers that Touraine’s theory on SMs does not contemplate their main motto: Emancipation. It is believed that Boaventura de Sousa Santos’ ideas can contribute to identifying SMs with emancipatory potential. To make these concepts concrete, examples of SMs are presented in Brazil and worldwide and analyzed in light of the two cited theories.

The article focuses on the subjective and individual dimensions of the commitment made by young activists in different contemporary social movements. Two sources are used for its elaboration: case studies in Belgium, France, and Chile; and the analysis of discourses by a young woman from Texas and of Tunisian students mobilized for different causes (ecology, abortion rights, democracy, and social justice). On this basis, we examine how, in this activist way of life, the roots of commitment and the way of “living” social movements are no longer located within organizations or manifestos. Instead, they emerge from the interplay of personal subjectification, seen as the individual’s effort to shape themselves as a person and author of their own life, and the desire to become an active participant in addressing their society’s challenges. In the second section, we highlight three analytical biases that have contributed to an individualistic perspective on this form of activism: (i) the blurring of lines between the processes of subjectification and the (self-) affirmation of an “authentic self,” (ii) the reduction of activism to mere processes of subjectification, when one will combines these processes with another that stives to have an impact on society, and (iii) the consideration that personal dimensions replace the collective dimensions of activism. Far from a selfish individualism or a focus on self-fulfillment, this alter-activist culture encourages the combination of subjectification processes, the desire to become an actor in one’s society, and the personal encounter with others.

This article analyzes the indigenous movement in Nayarit, Mexico and examines some of the resistance struggles produced by the original peoples that make up this movement, addressing as well its counter-hegemonic capacity building to confront the domination of capitalist-colonial-heteropatriarchal modernity. The present work finds that the articulation of this social movement allows for recovering, updating and enhancing ontological and epistemological elements that have persisted over centuries and which remain, albeit reconfigured, as fully contemporary. The work is based on the theory of the epistemologies of the South, proposed by Boaventura de Sousa Santos, particularly in the operation of the sociology of emergencies. The analysis was carried out based on a bibliographic investigation and the analysis of pronouncements, as well as conversations, speeches, journalistic notes and interviews.

In recent years, various forms of activism have contributed to unveiling long-silenced histories and remembering some almost forgotten stories of struggle, giving visibility to other memories of the "nation". In this text, after briefly revisiting various studies on social representations of history, we reflect on some challenges based on findings from an ongoing interdisciplinary research program on decolonial activisms in the Portuguese public sphere. Mnemonic activisms challenge us to think about the histories that structure public memory, its uses and abuses, as well as its interconnections with power relations, both inside and outside the nation, in a context where the challenges facing our lives clearly go beyond national borders.

This article aims to reflect on education, in its relationship with human rights, taking as a reference the experience of the Sex Workers Movement in Brazil. In methodological and epistemological terms, this is a study with a qualitative approach, which has as its starting point the reflections and textures built from studies on prostitution, sex work and the movement of sex workers. This way, searches were carried out, surveys of studies and reviews of works on the theme addressed in order to contribute to the theoretical foundation of this study. Furthermore, it was part of the methodology to consider the narratives and voices of the interlocutors of the present study as a fundamental part of the data analysis. The discussion presented here intends to problematize the discussions, questions and reflections about education, human right, and the Sex Workers Movement, pointing out, that this Movement is also configured as a Social Movement building other ways of doing education, a historical task that proposes a political-educational praxis since the battle. In this way, it is legitimized that the knowledge built within the Sex Workers Movement shed light and point to unprecedented-viable ways to build a more diverse world. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The present work is about the Popular Culture Movement (MCP). The Movement was created in the city of Recife, State of Pernambuco, Brazil, in 1960, inspired by the French Movement "Peuple et Culture" and had as its central objective the emancipation of the people through education and culture. With a popular educational proposal aimed mainly at impoverished communities in Recife, the MCP began to be developed and also to develop an education that sought to contextualize its teachings with the knowledge and life practices of the students. During the article, we first bring the creation and what the MCP was. We also approach the theoretical foundations of popular education, popular culture and social movements. Finally, we bring the performance of the MCP in the peripheral communities of Recife, the methodologies developed by the Movement and its expansion. This article was developed from a documentary and bibliographic methodology. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This article intends to outline a historical reconstitution of the configuration process of the field of popular education in Brazil, comprising its trajectory and its theoretical-conceptual development from the 1950s to the present day. This is a study with a qualitative approach built from bibliographical research with a descriptive characteristic, which was based on the narrative type review modality. As a result, different experiences, and historical moments of popular education in Brazil are characterized, for example: a) from the genesis to the process of disarticulation; b) the intensification of repression resulting from the civil-military dictatorship to the spread of practices across different sectors; c) from the emergence of new guidelines to the reinvention of the field of popular education; d) from political achievements to institutional challenges. Next, an attempt is made to outline a possible characterization of what popular education is in its multiplicity of perspectives. Finally, it is concluded that, in addition to understanding popular education as a political-pedagogical practice, understandings of this as a theory, a field of knowledge construction, an organized civil society movement, and public policy.

The article emerges from the construction of a large panorama that locates structural affinities and problematic tensions between psychoanalysis and collectives. Our literature review on Psychoanalysis and Politics discerns the value of the psychoanalyst's analysis in sustaining the task of political subversions from the divan to the public space. In the sequence, we consider the repercussions of the politics of psychoanalysis in the face of debates involving neurodiversity/autism, psychotherapeutic scientificism and capitalism. We intend to criticize an alienating version of politics, a version that is the protagonist of the different themes we approach and which is conveyed by the agent in the function of the semblant – the law, the all-knowing or the hedonistic individual who is the servant of his own surplus-jouissance (capitalist discourse). The counterpart to this version is the practice coming from a Jew – that is, from a body that lived the effects of the racism of discourses, even before the rise of Nazism – and elaborated by listening to something muzzled in the potentiality of female sexuality. Based on these facts, we argue that there is a crucial key to psychoanalysis in political conflicts: questioning the subjectivity of those who psychoanalyze. This results in the questioning of conservative modalizations that have marked the history of the psychoanalytic clinic and still resonate in the doing of theoretical-practical.

This paper aims to highlight forms of resistance, struggles, organizations, and political actions of black social movements in the face of structural racism. It points to the urgency of anti-racist calls for Brazilian social work in the current conjuncture of execution of necropolitics in the neoliberal context, knowing that the state is an active mechanism in the propagation of violations of rights and modern colonial violence coined in the oppressions of racism, sexism, and class.

This article proposes a practical guide for researching contemporary political mobilizations and social movements using digital tools. It highlights the relevance of digital tools amidst the complex dynamics of activism in recent times, as well as the potential of Digital Humanities - a field of study that combines humanities and social sciences with digital technology - to deepen these investigations. To achieve this, it presents a guide divided into six steps, ranging from defining the problem to interpreting and communicating the results, using various tools and software. With this material, the aim is to assist researchers and contribute to an advancement in the understanding of contemporary social mobilizations. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This report presents my difficulties and successes, as a student in formation and later as an educator, based on my experiences in a Popular Pre-Vestibular course, a free type of teaching program that prepares underprivileged people in Brazil for college entrance exams. I was a student for two years, between 2016 and 2017, and an educator from 2019 to 2023. When reflecting on my learnings, sided by popular education and social movements, I realize that, even in times of various attacks that target public education and the work with the base population, a proposal of liberating education, beyond being indispensable, is possible. The text is a dive into my memory as a student and educator. This work is linked to the following research Cabinet of Studies and Research in Curriculum Development, funded by FAPERJ, through which I develop my theoretical-practical studies.

The government of Gustavo Petro aims to establish a devel-opment plan called "Colombia World Power for Life", where he expects to realize programs, plans, and projects, and to provide subsidies for the population in condition of poverty and vulnerability, to reform the fiscal, labor, justice legisla-tion and to improve education and health systems. The agen-da of the government includes also dialogue with the aim of establishing the total peace with the different actors of the armed conflict, overcoming historical injustice, ensuring a decent life for the population and social inclusion. In the same way, the change in the way of relating to the environment is sought with a productive transformation based on knowledge and in harmony with nature.

Objective/context: This article reconstructs the history of popular consultations against extractive activities in Colombia. It aims to illustrate how constitutional law affects the repertoires of democratic participation available to social movements and resistances. Methodology: The article describes and critical ly analyzes how Colombian constitutional law has approached the use of popular consultations against extractive activities. This analysis focuses on three moments: citizen empowerment, institutional reaction, and informal resistance. Conclusions: The history of popular consultations in Colombia shows three types of relationship between constitutional law and the democratic participation of social movements and resistances: it can function as an instrument for the political empowerment of the citizenry, as an obstacle that contains democratic participation and contributes to political and social exclusion, or as a referent that guides informal resistance practices in the face of the closure of formal participation mechanisms by state institutions. Originality: This article contributes to a more comprehensive description of the uses of popular consultations in Colombia and how constitutional law affects the participation repertoires of social movements and resistances opposed to extractive activities.

Rural Education (RE) is being conceived as a pedagogical proposal specific to the rural population, as it considers that this audience has distinct educational needs and lifestyle habits from those living in urban environments. In this article we presented the results of bibliographical Research aimed at the historical survey of teaching proposals in this modality within Latin America, adopting as a sample cut the histories of Argentina, Brazil, Cuba, and Mexico. Our results demonstrate that Latin American experiences are influenced by the ideological inclination of their governments and that educational projects achieved better results when they obtained greater popular participation, from their conception to the execution of their proposals. This demonstrates that RE is a reflection of a Pedagogical Project that achieves higher levels of efficiency when built in a democratic, with the target audience involved in its construction.

In this article we analyze the new political faces of evangelicals in recent Argentina focusing on their interventions in two public controversies: the extension of sexual and reproductive rights and the draft law of cults. Backed by the qualitative research that supported our doctoral thesis and in dialogue with the main background of the field, we will show that the deep divergence in the evangelical positions evidenced the breaking of its constitution as a social movement at the same time as its growing socio-political legitimation as an active religious minority in the public space. We will also identify the multiple alliances between evangelical and Catholic actors as one of the most important reconfigurations in the Argentine religious political field since the democratic recovery.

The aim of this article is to understand the relationship between folkcommunicational performance and spirituality in the seventh edition of the March of the Daisies, which took place on August 15 and 16, 2023. The social movement of the March takes place in honor of Margarida Maria Alves, who was a union leader murdered in Alagoa Grande, in the Paraíba swamp. In methodological terms, this is a study from the perspective of Folk Religious Communication and its close relationship with social movements, in which document analysis and semi-structured interviews were used. As a result, it was possible to broaden the discussions around folkcommunication and religion present in the seventh edition of the March of the Daisies. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This article aims to identify communicational manifestations within a samba school parade, based on the analysis of their costumes for the carnival parade. Starting from the contextualization of social movements and the territorialities of these groups, the insertion of the samba school as a model of social movement is observed. Having as object of study the costumes of the samba school Estado Maior da Restinga, champion of the 2023 Porto Alegre carnival, the Content Analysis method is applied (BARDIN, 2016), which reveals the relationship between the cultural production of the school of samba and folkcommunication, bringing their communicational aspects and their production of meaning as pieces of manifestation of their popular expression on the avenue.
