The article provides an overview of the rise of Bolsonarismo in Brazil, a far-right movement associated with former President Jair Bolsonaro. It discusses the unique historical roots of the movement and its connection to global far-right forces. The article also examines the formation of Brazil's new right, which defends exclusionary inequalities and conservative values, and utilizes information technologies to spread disinformation. It highlights the role of various actors, such as the military, evangelicals, and agribusiness, in the consolidation of Bolsonarismo. The article argues that while there are global influences, it is important to understand Bolsonarismo as a phenomenon with solid local foundations. [Extracted from the article]

The present article examines the overlapping political, social and rhetorical functions of the category of “mother” in various contexts related to the January 2013 Boate Kiss fire in Santa Maria, Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil. Supported by theories of social suffering and ethnographies of violence, as well as poststructuralist notions of identity and gender, the analysis focuses on the medium-transcribed letters, newspaper articles, journalistic nonfiction, and social media posts related to two social movements that would coalesce among the affected in the tragedy’s aftermath: collectives for justice and groups ascribing to Kardecist Spiritism, both inscribed within the regional and national history of mothers in movements. Attending to gender also highlights the long-term political import of then-president Dilma Rousseff's emblematic visit to Santa Maria on the day of the tragedy. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Women in the Movement of Rural Women Workers (Movimento de Mulheres Trabalhadoras Rurais or MMTR) in southern Brazil envisioned a social movement that represented their interests both as women and as small farmers and agricultural workers, while also allowing for a plurality of voices and strategies. This article describes the feminist and democratic culture of militancy that these women sought, from the 1980s through to the 2000s, and shows how difficult it was to establish and sustain such a culture. These women not only confronted the deep, ongoing difficulties of challenging gendered social relations, but also the pain, shame and silencing that intertwined with gains in voice and equality. They also confronted larger social movements whose leaders understood power differently to the way these women did. For the women described in this article, women's activism requires a deep form of democracy where all voices are heard. Paradoxically, in the context of rural Rio Grande do Sul in southern Brazil and the panorama of movements that are active there, the rootedness in the everyday lived experience that made the movement relevant to women who advocated for this form of democracy also kept them from taking on powerholders within the movement who chose to ally with larger, more hierarchical movements, sacrificing significant forms of autonomy and voice in the process.

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]

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.

Jörg Nowak's book, "Mass Strikes and Social Movements in Brazil and India: Popular Mobilisation in the Long Depression," challenges Eurocentric perspectives on class struggle and labor movements. Nowak examines mass strikes in Brazil and India, highlighting the ways in which workers came together and fractured apart in their struggles. He proposes a new theory of strikes that goes beyond traditional trade unions and workplace-focused organizing. The book also explores the politics of knowledge production and the role of the researcher in shaping the narrative. Nowak's research sheds light on the violence and power dynamics within workers' movements and challenges assumptions about migrant workers' participation in labor action. The book concludes by discussing the larger implications of these strikes and the rise of right-wing authoritarianism in both countries. Overall, this book is a significant and essential read for those interested in contemporary labor movements. [Extracted from the article]

Social movements are purposeful, organized groups of people addressing the creation and reproduction of inequality, rights and access issues, seeking to transform sectoral policies. In the context of the COVID-19 pandemic, social movements have been acting in articulation with government and private companies and through other actions formulated within their networks, as service deliverers to the poor and vulnerable populations most heavily affected, often filling a gap created by unfulfilled policies. Our research with waste picker organizations in Brazil illustrates how their struggle for recognition has taken action in this context. Academic and government documents, social media and online material (blogs, posts, websites, etc.) and virtual meetings inform this research. We found that multiple actors have contributed to mitigate the urgent needs of waste pickers during the pandemic, but that at the same time, pre-existing challenges in waste management and the lack of wide-ranging social and economic inclusion have been further intensified.

The present manuscript brings a reflection on the construction of the phenomenon of Homeless Population and the relationship with the history of the black population in Brazil. The article composes the ongoing research of the authors in the PostGraduate Program in Social Work at Universidade Estadual Paulista. We chose the method in Marx to carry out an analysis of the enslavement process as a central component for the emergence and expansion of Late Capitalism throughout Latin America. Through a brief rescue of historical and legal landmarks, it reflects on the profile and identities attributed to the PSR and its deep relationship with the country's slavery and racist history. It is concluded that the phenomenon of the Homeless Population imposes great challenges to the reality of urban spaces, and that the social movements of this segment have an extensive agenda for the realization of Human Rights, therefore it is fundamental to understand the complexity of this reality, to know the historical process of this phenomenon, as well as carrying out more research and data collection that may contribute to the instrumentalization of the struggles and resistance of this population.

The article discusses counter-colonial perspectives and anti-racist ecologies in times of planetary catastrophes. It highlights the resistance of the black and indigenous population in creating new possible worlds, despite attempts of silencing and erasure by the racial contract of whiteness. It addresses the participation of social movements, such as the Black Coalition for Rights and the Articulation of Indigenous Peoples of Brazil, in international conferences on climate change, where they claim territorial rights and socio-environmental justice. It mentions the resumption of climate protection policies and the creation of the Ministries of Racial Equality and Indigenous Peoples in Brazil. It emphasizes the importance of recognizing the colonial origins of geological transformations and the need to preserve other possible forms of life. It presents a dossier on counter-colonial perspectives and anti-racist ecologies in times of planetary catastrophes, with contributions from various researchers. The interview with Master Antônio Bispo dos Santos discusses the importance of sowing and germinating words as a form of counter-colonization and resistance to colonial violence.

From the expansion of the public sphere to the virtual space and the appropriation of the internet by social movements, this paper seeks to analyze which representations are put into circulation in the public space, through the Landless Movement (MST) website on Landless solidarity, which involve the donation and production of food, during the Covid-19 pandemic, in the period of August 2020. It is supported by the Theory of Social Representations, Content Analysis, and the study of the main symbolic utterances of discourse. It concludes that the circulated representations of Landless solidarity create new meanings about the importance of agrarian reform and the MST in Brazil and its role in the fight against hunger.

Music has a relevant presence in the religious service of churches and evangelical groups in Brazil. This article, based on qualitative research, presents the potentials of musical activity. Conversion in one of them, whereas gospel music, as a category registered in Brazil since the 1990s, comprises the appropriation of secular sound styles. This modality also stands out for initiatives aimed at reflecting on race and gender inequalities, is part of a scenario characterized by the use of current categories in social movements. The musical activities addressed end up supporting public tensions related to positions about religious guidelines. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The research aims to analyze the practices of youth and adult education of social movements related to land in Brazil, the MST (Movement of Landless Rural Workers) and in Colombia, the CNA (Coordinador Nacional Agrario), based on the thematization of multiple historical, social, political and cultural determinations present in the Latin American context and popular education practices committed to the emancipation of subjects. For this, a survey of bibliographic productions on the Brazilian and Colombian context was carried out, as well as a survey of documents from Latin American bodies to understand the dynamics of structuring social movements, as well as the way in which it was constituted over the years until nowadays. As a theoretical basis, Critical School Psychology with a Marxist base is used from historical-dialectical materialism. That said, what is shown is that in moments of disruption of public policies with the neoliberal advance, social movements play a fundamental role in the educational social struggle.

This work comprehensively analyzes the action of popular libraries as an instrument of social transformation, in the light of the ideas of Paulo Freire. Through a bibliographic study, it proposes the conception of a community library based on a lecture that gave rise to the book "The importance of the act of reading", experiences carried out by the author in São Tomé and Príncipe. The debate starts from the assumption that the structuring of a popular library has its origins in social movements, whose intention is to promote the social inclusion of subjects considered marginalized in the educational system. The proposal intends to implement and maintain a community library in partnership with the local community, supporting community activities and serving as a public space for gathering, information, leisure, learning and local memory, the so-called cultural circles. Finally, it highlights the remarkable influence of Freire thought as an educator of ethical, political and critical awareness in the literacy process in Brazil, and, consequently, relevant to the interdisciplinary area of community librarianship.

This text is the translation of an interview given by Brazilian anthropologist, professor, and Brazilian Black Movement activist Lélia Gonzalez (1935–1994) at the beginning of the 1980s. Gonzalez, who is today enthusiastically incorporated into the academic anthropology after decades of silence in Brazil, exposes here some of the particularities of her stunning life itinerary. She has challenged Brazilian social theory by bringing forward the need for an approach that considers race, gender, and coloniality, and has worked towards an open dialogue with Latin American realities, including Brazil's. Her contribution has been recognized as essential by public intellectuals such as Angela Davis, and her reemergence has to do with the growing demand of decolonizing the Brazilian Academy, issued by the Black movement and other social movements in the country. The translation, having Brazilian Portuguese as the language of origin, has been made by anthropologists, social scientists, and translators from the RECânone Community Project, linking the Federal University of Rio Grande do Norte and the University of Brasília, both public centers of higher education in the country. Translators added notes aiming to help a non-Brazilian audience understand the racial, social, and cultural context where Gonzalez produced her academic and activist work. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Is liberation theology dead or in decline? This article analyzes factors that have led to that perception and provides evidence to the contrary. It demonstrates that the theology has survived multiple attempts by certain sectors of both church and state to eliminate it, and that it remains very much alive in grassroots pastoral programs and social movements. Support for this last statement is provided by the author's field research in Brazil. The article concludes with signs that liberation theology will endure as it continues to inspire spiritually motivated people who commit themselves to addressing human needs by promoting social justice.

Social movements are made of groups of people who share the same territory, collective identities and organize themselves in a democratic and dialogic manner. From these, health care productions integrated with local realities emerge and Paraiba is historically recognized as the cradle of these actions, especially those with theoretical-methodological orientation of Popular Health Education. This research aimed to highlight the history of these groups and their subjects, recording their experiences. To this end, we resorted to a study with a qualitative approach and descriptive character, proceeded by 26 individual semi-structured interviews with social actors, from which the personal and collective historical landmarks of these subjects were extracted and systematized for the construction of a timeline. It was observed that in the period referring to the Military Dictatorship in Brazil (1964-1985), many of the experiences were articulated by sectors of the Catholic Church. In other periods, the articulations were carried out by unions and minority groups, popular communities and students, with the Landless Workers' Movement (MST) being the most expressive group present in the trajectories. In this way, the substrate produced will be configured as a collection for other researches, as well as being useful in disseminating the memory of the groups and their historical contributions.

The Rural Education modality is a great conquest of the organized social movements and of the Brazilian peasants. Gradually, it was conquering space, consolidating its guiding principles, and operational guidelines, and structuring itself to serve the social groups abandoned by the system throughout the history of Brazil. This work is based on documentary research and a series of interviews with students of the Rural Education degree of the Universidade Federal do Recôncavo da Bahia who live in rural communities of the city of Laje-Bahia, Brazil. This work has as its main objective to understand the social function of the course and investigate the anthropological, teleological, and methodological conceptions that guide the work of the University professors. Investigating students, communities, teachers and the results obtained during their trajectory over time is very important to build records that help other researchers interested in this problem and contribute to improving, more and more, the services provided. by the investigated institution.

This article analyzes the historical role of Brazilian modernism beyond the direct effects of the 1922 Modern Art Week. The Brazilian modernism is seen, from the point of view of this research, as a social formation, artistic movement, and cultural institution as a whole. From this perspective, we will analyze the trajectory of "long modernism" in Brazil, that provided the basis of a cultural and political agenda and guided a set of cultural actions and projects sharing the structure of felling on "Brazilianness", based on racial miscegenation, on the search for a cultural language common to all races and classes, and the vision of the intellectual as a tutor of the national conscience. The historical changes throughout the 1980s, produced by the responses of the new social movements to the challenges and impasses generated by the authoritarian modernization imposed by the 1964 Military Regime marked the end of the Brazilian modernist agenda.

Recognizing the importance of the discussion on collective health from the perspective of Popular Education (PE), in a critical scenario derived from COVID-19 and misgovernment, this experience report explores the experiences in the Observatory of Popular Education in Health and Brazilian Reality. It is an initiative of the Extension "Práticas Integrais de Promoção da Saúde e Nutrição na Atenção Básica" (PINAB) that aims to propagate the PE and bring together its actors. Seven meetings were held and themes were worked on: "The current Brazilian conjuncture and the principles of popular education and its philosophy for the construction of methodological paths of practice", "Food sovereignty as a movement of humanity and civility: what is the role of popular education in health?", "Eugenics processes in Brazil and their consequences on health, education, justice and equity", "The world and its changes: the place and role of popular education in health", and "Popular Education in Health: Paths and alternatives for experiences and practices". This experience promoted reflections about the current conjuncture, retrieving founding concepts of PE and valuable insights in its meetings. It also demonstrated the potentialities in the use of virtual environments as aids in the dialectic methodology of PE. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

A disease is considered neglected when it is not given due priority in health policies despite the social relevance of that disease, either in terms of the number of individuals affected by it or its morbidity or mortality. Although the causes are structural, neglect in health does not occur in a vacuum. In this paper, we explore how sickle cell disease (SCD) is constructed and neglected in Brazil, based on insights from our long-term participatory qualitative research in the state of Bahia. We present five overarching themes relevant to the social production of SCD, and associated health policies in Brazil: (1) The achievements and setbacks to overcome neglect in SCD, (2) Continuity of comprehensive SCD care; (3) Social movements of people with SCD; (4) Biocultural citizenship; and (5) Academic advocacy. We conclude that it is insufficient to merely recognize the health inequities that differentiate white and black populations in Brazil; racism must be understood as both a producer and a reproducer of this process of neglect. We conclude with a set of recommendations for the main SCD stakeholder groups committed to improving the lives of people living with SCD. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

After the first decades of implementations of inclusive churches in Brazil, production of pastoral support materials, books about inclusive and queer theology, evangelical religious communities composed by sexual and gender dissidences have started the process on collective organization to perform on the public sphere. They have offered alternative conceptions for understanding the relationship between faith and sexuality and have constructed the struggle scenery for their citizenship recognition. Furthermore, we discuss how the inclusive churches movement organizations has developed in a context of intense disagreement between sexual dissident's social movements whom revendicate civil rights and evangelical sectors who acted to avoid the spread of those requisitions.

The first mobilizations for the democratization of communication emerged in the context of struggles for democracy in Brazil, between the second half of the 1970s and 1988. The central demands were the confrontation of the authoritarian State and the power of commercial media and the defense of the social right to communication, in line with the debates of the New World Information and Communication Order (NOMIC). Umbilically linked to the struggle for citizenship and rights, the democratization of communication was already asserting itself as a necessary condition for democracy, but it faced structural obstacles such as the incidence of private interests in the Brazilian State.

Bolsonaro was elected in 2018 with a very conservative political agenda, promising neoliberal economic measures, and opposing to minority's rights. Bolsonaro has been well-known as a right-wing and authoritarian politician and his government is recognised as extreme right, conservative, and/or neo-fascist, with important setbacks in public policies. The "bolsonarismo" shall be defeated, but the electoral process will not be easy, with fake news and political violence. The open threats to democracy are leading to alliances of democratic and popular political forces, including agrarian and urban social movements. This article reflects critically about Bolsonaro administration, particularly the dismantling of public policies and programmes to the countryside, reflecting about the political actions of the agrarian movements in the 2022 electoral process.

The organization and performance of the feminist movement has historically demonstrated that women are fundamental in the construction of knowledge and practices that promote political education and in defense of human rights, even though they occupy subordinate places in society. In times of democratic setbacks, fueled by a conservative policy and a deep attack on women's rights, especially in Brazil, it is necessary to search for new alternatives and militancy strategies. In the 2018 presidential elections, faced with the imminence of a conservative politician occupying the presidency of Brazil, women organized a movement through social networks called #EleNão (#NotHim), with the objective of discussing and making women aware of the danger posed by the victory of Jair Messias Bolsonaro. Based on the concepts of autonomy and hope proposed by Paulo Freire and popular education, we seek to discuss how the movement brought important developments to the feminist movement and highlighted women as one of the main fronts of resistance to conservatism, contributing to the construction of an education as a practice of freedom.

This article discusses the conservative thinking as a political and social movement supported by the theory of conservatism. As a way to substantiate that, we present its structure and main assumptions, as well as the conceptions of its main authors and creators, such as Edmund Burke (classic) and Russell Kirk (modern-contemporary). The methodology is based on immateriality in its relationship with materiality, that is, on the dialectics between conservative thinking and the formation of conservative territories of power, with illustrative examples from Brazil and other countries. The theses on conservative thinking put forwards arguments and evidence present in actions such as the Government proposals of Donald Trump in the USA, Jair Bolsonaro in Brazil, and the UK's withdrawal from the European Union, among others.
