In this article, we proposed a reflection on the theoretical category of praxis, starting from the questioning of how it is possible to think about the construction of an emancipatory praxis in the current Brazilian context? To go through this question, we situate the concept of historical fatalism, as a possibility for understand how the power relations are constituted in the current moment, in face of the social threat coming from two agents: the neoconservative government Brazil, and the Covid-19 virus, generator of a worldwide pandemic. In this work, we understand that these agents contribute to the intensification of the neoliberal offensive, which highlights the structural contradictions in the order of capital. Thus, we established that this category of praxis is an expression of the process of critical awareness of subjects, and institutes a movement necessary for social change, based on a historical conception of reality.

The Theory of Social Change underscores that public policy that tries to solve a collective issue will always have the capacity of impacting on the process and on the evolution of social change. Since from the start of coronavirus infection cases in Brazil, state governments established legal mechanisms for the control and coping with the disease within their respective jurisdictions. Current paper analyzes the norms and laws published by the administration of the state of Paraná, Brazil, issued between 2019 and 2020, from the point of view of the Theory of Social Change. Norms were selected by researching the digital platform Legislation State System available by the government. Research criteria were the terms "covid", "coronavirus" and "sars cov 2". However, following inclusion/exclusion criteria, only laws with direct and wide social impact were selected for analysis. Initial research produced 297 results, but only 15 attended to selection criteria. Results show the effort by the administration to control and cope with the pandemic through changes in customs involving self-protection and social movement. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The relationship established between the ideas of youth and social change can perform as something natural for common sense. However, in adding the trajectory of youth as a social construction, you can see a contest for your recognition as a legitimate part of life in society, which has been given through complex disputes. Political, social movements, social and cultural favored, warned or inadvertently, the youth's emergence as a social actor from the 19th century, beyond its age ranking. For so much, they are taken as a text reference of David Le Breton, Philippe Ariès, Jon Savage, Edgar Morin, and Luis Antonio Groppo, among other authors, who help us understand the course of the notion of youth over time. This article reveals the understanding of young people as a social problem, articulated with their representations in the public spheres and, on the other hand, shows youth as a rich object of sociological study in the light of the media. Youth is, therefore, a category of thought in permanent construction, it develops socio-historical-cultural transformations, in different contexts. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this paper we give an account of the development of agroecology in Argentina, specifically from the dimension of socio-political analysis. We want to analyse agroecology as a collective action, in his disruptive capacity. This means that we will analyze the agroecology as a component of the action of social movements. To achieve our objective, in the first instance present we will present a cartography of the main collective expressions, cooperatives and associations for the promotion, production and agroecological marketing in Argentina, and then we will emphasize the programmatic contents of the agroecological proposal presented in this country. social movements of rural populations. From this analysis, we will seek to answer the question of why agroecology has been proposed by indigenous peasant movements as a paradigmatic alternative that antagonizes industrialbased agriculture, and what are the scope of this approach as a process of social change.

The HDRs systematize a set of proposals that undergo the redefinition of the state intervention pattern in the social area. They propose changes in policies for education, health and sanitation. These are general proposals that attempt to find common and viable solutions for several countries in Africa, Latin America and Asia. The reports show, over hundreds of pages, examples of social policies that have been implemented in various parts of the world. This study aims to demonstrate both the social policy suggestions contained in the HDRs, and the difficulties faced by such proposals in Brazil, where the main binding in the redefinition of forms of intervention in the social area, consists of a political logic that does not dismantle a model of income transfer which strengthens the concentration of resources and power. Changing the orientation of the State actions is the biggest political challenge posed to the segments (civil society organizations, political leaders, social movements, associations, intellectuals) that fight for a more inclusive and equitable pattern of social organization.

The paper's purpose is to illustrate a particular historical process of articulation between neighborhood social networks and collective action based on the analysis of the genesis and continuing organizational development of a territorial social movement in particular, viz. the Federation of Workers for Land, Housing and Environment.

Consumption and citizenship are considered by most scholars as belonging to distinct fields, and, for a long time, they were theorized separately. In cases which they were approached jointly, even from different theoretical perspectives, the relations between consumption and citizenship emphasized were of opposition, antagonism, and mutual exclusion. In this sense, this article aims to explore the relation between consumption and citizenship from other angles. The main argument is that their relation is multifaceted, and therefore it is more complex than what has been evidenced in most studies. In order to develop this argument, some key-moments in the formation of consumer culture, and the social movements for consumer protection are considered. Furthermore, it is analyzed the convergence among several kinds of political activism, which encompasses consumers' social movements, a trend which started by the end of the twentieth century and seems to be gaining momentum. The results found derive from empirical data collected in 1994 in a comparative study about the history of consumer protection, part of which has been recently updated. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Ten years after the protests in Seattle in 1999, this article aims to conduct an evaluation of the anti-globalization movement. Our hypothesis is that during those years, the antiglobalization movement has shown an important ability to organize, mobilize and influence in the international scene, and that it is currently living a stage of crisis as an actor, but with a large part of its legacy having being made into a new framework for transnational collective action. Thus, this paper presents the movement and its features, including a brief terminological and conceptual discussion; an explanation about its origins, reviewing the main cycles and agendas; a study of the first signs of exhaustion of the anti-globalization movement, and the arguments that, beyond the movement's crisis, there is also a conceptual crisis in order to explain the new transnational activism; and, finally, a reflection on some of the challenges faced by global movements nowadays.

Considering the tradition of social movement studies in Latin America, the present text brings some reflections about the emergence of a post-colonial approach directed to the study of subaltern groups on our continent. To fulfill this objective, the connections among four elements in the production of knowledge about contemporary social movements are examined: the relation between the subject studied and the subject that produces knowledge; the relation between life experience, representation and recognition; the human rights in the perspective of subaltern subjects; and discourse formations derived from the historicity and emancipatory desire of these subjects. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper focuses on the protagonism of the civil society by addressing the theme of the civil collective actions. Therefore, some conceptual presuppositions should be explained allowing that the subjects, and the character of these actions to be known and understood in the analysis. This is the initial task of the text that aims to name and to contemplate the main structural forms of the civil collective actions in contemporary Brazil, highlighting the social movements and the NGOs (Non-Governmental Organizations).

In recent years, it is observed in Brazilian social sciences an apparent break with the trend of reflux in studies of social movements, from an increase in publications geared to the theme. In particular, a significant number of scientific journals recently devoted issues to this topic. These publications seem to indicate a resumption as well as a recovery of studies on social movements, and, more broadly, on the processes of organization and social mobilization. In response to this recovery, the goal of this paper is to map the theoretical and epistemological perspectives that characterize this recent literature by means of identifying the present approaches, and, eventually, those in dispute in the current field of research on social movements in Brazil. In addition, the article aims to identify the issues raised by this literature which would form the current research agenda in the field of Social Sciences. Finally, the article raises questions about some aspects of this literature, and points out the lack of issues that should be part of the research agenda. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This article aims to deal with some discussions that are being developed in some contemporary studies on social movements, which search to articulate categories of Postcolonial studies to the thematic of social movements. Thus, it is discussed the possibility of thinking the social movements of racism combat, and the politics actions articulated to them, from the concepts of "diaspora" and "Black Atlantic", and of a theoretical orientation based on Postcolonials and cultural studies, considering their subsequent contributions to the networks theory of social movements.

The article comments on the criterion of adopting punishment methods for social situations. The punishment methods emerged from the economical, political and social changes in the 1960s which created new paradigms of violence. Many sociologists indicate that the punishment should not be considered as an outcome of crime. It should be seen as a social phenomenon developed from the legal concepts. Sociology aims to create social actions which can change the perception of the public towards the punishment methods in the modern society.

An introduction is presented in which the editor discusses articles in the issue on topics including role of youth in social change, acculturation and social movements in Portugal.

The article presents a summary of a dissertation which argues that the theory of recognition could be seen as a new possibility for the interpretation of the critical theory. The change in the perspective of new social movements and the fall of political and economic importance of socialism favor an alternative critical theory, that promises new interpretations, diagnoses and formalization for the problems of the contemporary societies. The theories are proposals of three authors, who worked in their own way on the subject of social recognition. They are philosopher Charles Taylor, sociologist Axel Honneth and political scientist Nancy Fraser. The three authors contribute to show that the critical theory is necessary to breach the pseudo-inevitable and pseudo-natural commitments that deny social change.
