A hipótese central é de que esta perspectiva limita as condições de possibilidade para a emergência...

Throughout the recollection of data from focus groups carried out in 2015 and 2016, we aim to discuss the ways the participants conceived and related the compulsory act of voting with the participation in the recent wave o...
This chapter aims to examine the transformation in rural unions as part of a broader analysis of the question of labour in Brazil today. Although some of the literature acknowledges that traditional forms of social organisation have dwindled in Brazil, trade unions—especially those representing rural workers—remain strong. This can be seen not only...
This paper presents a theoretical-methodological proposal to research movements and the state based on the associations they establish. It is grounded in three investigations: the first one about the transformations of the Landless People's Movement (LPM) of South Africa, the second about interactions between Brazilian rural movements and the Natio...

The paper analyses the role of the Brazilian Landless Rural Workers Movement (MST) in building a specific form of contentious politics for rural struggles the author refers to as the "movement form". Following the author's journey over the past twenty years with MST's activists across Brazil and in South Africa, it seeks to present the conditions t...
This article analyses the contributions of the sociologies or theories of the South to the contemporary debates on the production of theory in the social sciences. Starting with the assumption that these projects adopt a critical view of how sociology has privileged certain objects over others in a colonial way, it proposes an analysis that makes u...
Neste artigo, procuramos analisar um dos actantes centrais nos processos de reivindicação por terras no Brasil contemporâneo: o Instituto Nacional de Colonização e Reforma Agrária (Incra). Debatendo com a literatura que analisa as relações entre Estado e movimentos sociais por meio da constituição de políticas públicas, trazemos dois estudos de cas...
The paper introduces the contemporary debates on the relation of social sciences in Africa and Brazil by framing them both under the current discussion about the “sociologies of the south” and the ones on “the geopolitics of knowledge”. Deploying the notion of a “non-exemplary sociology”, I seek to present some possible theoretical and methodologic...
The article critically reviews the recent publications in the field of social sciences regarding the themes of ‘Southern theories’, ‘theories from the South’ and ‘epistemologies of the South’ seeking to understand the limits and perspectives of this current wave of critique to the social sciences establishment. Analyzing the works of Boaventura San...
This paper reviews the recent literature in the field of social sciences in which the term "South" is regarded as a theoretical, methodological or epistemological alternative to the colonial effects of our disciplines. Analysing the books of Boaventura de Sousa Santos, Reawyn Connell and Jean and John Comaroff it seeks to point out some of their fr...

The paper analyses the effects of a long-term ethnographic research with a landless activist in rural South Africa. Arguing that the relations we establish with the individuals change substantially along the research, I state that much we know about them, less capacity we have to classify or attach the individuals to one single social narrative (i....
This article identifies the historical process through which the social category of the ‘landless’ was produced in Brazil, as well as the subsequent growth of a social movement claiming this category, between 1960 and 1980. The article analyzes two moments in which the landless appear, the first being the governorship of Leonel Brizola in the south...
This paper presents the results of a composition of literature review and field research on the Landless People's Movement struggles in South Africa aiming to explore the historical relation between the farm dwellers and the land they live's claim.

This article presents the results of a comparative research developed between 2005 and 2009 on the actions of the South African Landless People's Movement (LPM) and the Brazilian Landless Rural Workers' Movement (MST).

Este artigo busca retomar as formas pelas quais a categoria social dos "sem-terra" se associou à ideia de movimento social no Brasil entre as décadas de 1960 e de 1980. Para isso, retoma-se dois contextos de investigação nos quais ela aparece. O primeiro é governo Leonel Brizola, no Rio Grande do Sul, na década de 1960, e o segundo foram as ocupaçõ...
O artigo busca, por meio da análise da atuação do Movimento dos Trabalhadores Rurais Sem Terra (no Brasil) e do Landless People's Movement (na África do Sul), analisar as formas emergentes que o Estado adquire nesses dois contextos sociais. O objetivo central é mostrar que nesses países, chamados aqui de não exemplares, é preciso que se desenvolva...
This paper analyzes the contribution of so-called 'land struggles' in the creation of new forms of 'social meaning' in a sugar plantation region of the Brazilian Northeast.

It explores two distinct contexts in the Southern state of Rio Grande do Sul: the Leonel Brizola's administration from 1959 to 1963 and the land occupations occurred from 1978 to 1980 that led the proc...

Its main objective is to show that in these countries, here defined as non-model, it...

Based on a systematic study of events organized by FETAPE (the rural labour federation of Perna...
Esta resenha busca ressaltar a importância da mais recente publicação do sociólogo Antônio Cândido. Em "Um funcionário da Monarquia", ao contrário das opções mais usuais, Cândido não se ateve a retratar a "boa sociedade" que circundava os palácios do Rio de Janeiro, nem as senzalas que configuram seu antagônico sociológico estrutural. Ao privilegia...
