Cultivando identidades: a semente crioula e a invenção do camponês na "Campanha das Sementes do MST"

A gravação de um vídeo torna-se uma janela para um evento em que o camponês aparece como uma identidade tematizada. Esta identidade emerge de um discurso político e está presente nas trocas de sementes, nas místicas e na própria construção do espaço da segunda Festa Nacional das Sementes Crioulas. Este trabalho busca analisar as formas de construção desta identidade camponesa e o modo com que são apropriadas pelo Movimento dos Trabalhadores Rurais Sem Terra. O ponto de partida para esta análise é o discurso construído e propagado em uma feira de troca de sementes crioulas, em que realizei um trabalho de observação participante mediado pelo uso de uma câmera de vídeo.

Teatteri liikkeessä : Työväenteatterit Suomen teatterikentällä ja työväenliikkeessä kaksiteatterijärjestelmän syntyyn asti vuonna 1922

Workers' theatres in Finland until 1922 The topic of this dissertation is the workers' theatres in Finland before the year 1922. The main question is: why did these amateur theatres within the workers' associations become part of the professional theatre field in the 1910s by getting state subsidy as local theatre institutions? How is it possible that they received this status even after the civil war in 1918 when new professional theatres were founded all over the country? The study also asks, what kind of position did workers' theatres have in the workers' associations and in the workers' movement, what did the Social Democrats and Communists think of theatre and in particular of workers' theatre, and what kind of repertoire did the workers' theatres perform? It is a particular feature of Finland that the professional theatre field was not organised and that the workers’ movement had a relatively strong political position. The study concludes that some workers' theatres were the only steady theatre institutions in their surroundings, and thus functioned as local popular theatres performing to all social groups. Although amateur-based, they started to resemble professional theatres. Even though the Social Democratic Party did not have a specific theatre policy, the leaders of the Party appreciated and supported the workers' theatres as educational institutions and worked for their artistic improvement. The workers' theatres were also largely approved of and seen as people's theatres thought to unite and educate the nation and the working class. This reveals the need for national consensus, in the 1910s against the Russian government who worked to dissolve the autonomous position of the Finnish state, and after the civil war (1918) against the threat of a communist revolution. A wave of agitating proletarian theatre was felt in Finland in the early 1920s but it was marginalised by the large anti-communist majority.

Praticantes de mundos: a invenção de cotidianos discentes em uma universidade

A presente pesquisa pretendeu discutir a importância de se oferecer atenção às inventivas redes relacionais discentes construídas no cotidiano da Universidade Federal de Viçosa/MG (UFV); sendo essas redes entendidas como produtoras de diferentes currículos e conhecimentos não institucionalizados na universidade. Assim, a partir da análise da construção de um grupo estudantil de diversidade sexual chamado Primavera nos Dentes, buscou-se cartografar diferentes modos de subjetivação da experiência discente que transversalizava aquele grupo e, por conseguinte, os enovelamentos políticos, sociais e desejantes com os quais o Primavera se cumpliciava. Tais cumplicidades se tornaram indicadoras da existência de uma vida estudantil plural que estava urdida em universos de sentido que não se restringiam apenas ao estudo das sexualidades. Acompanhado, portanto, a partir de suas interseções e seus contágios com diferentes processos grupais, encontramos que as dinâmicas do grupo Primavera nos Dentes construíam ramificações e conflitos que se estendiam ao Movimento Estudantil, a proposições político-partidárias, a orientações religiosas, a movimentos sociais diversos (como o MST, a Marcha Mundial das Mulheres, o Movimentos dos Atingidos por Barragens) que postulavam diferentes propostas revolucionárias para a universidade e para sociedade em geral. Assim, ao acompanhar as dinâmicas de um grupo pontual, invisível e institucionalmente frágil como o Primavera nos Dentes, fomos apresentados a redes de relações (geralmente ignoradas pela Administração Superior da universidade) que fomentavam outros conhecimentos e que também interferiam nos modos como os estudantes nelas envolvidos praticavam não apenas a UFV, mas também suas próprias vidas fora da instituição.

Baderna estrangeira ou urgência nacional? Embates parlamentares sobre o sobre o movimento operário nos Anais da Câmara dos Deputados (1917-1919)

O período de 1917 a 1919 foi marcado por intensa atividade reivindicatória no Brasil e no mundo, insuflada pelo clima de instabilidade global e pelo exemplo da Revolução Bolchevique. No Brasil, tal quadro repetia-se, tendo sido esse um momento de intensificação da mobilização operária, marcada por inúmeras greves que irromperam no cenário de vários centros urbanos brasileiros. Atentas a essa conjuntura, as elites políticas brasileiros não tardaram a se posicionar sobre ela. Os discursos parlamentares produzidos na Câmara dos Deputados sobre o movimento operário foram aqui objeto de análise, a fim de se determinar quais as posições presentes naquela casa legislativa sobre o tema. Duas posturas contrapostas foram identificadas: uma, majoritária, legitimadora das políticas repressivas implementadas pelos governos estaduais e federais ao movimento, calcada em uma visão em que o movimento operário era apresentado como elemento de desordem comandado por estrangeiros perniciosos; outra, minoritária, que defendia um olhar atento, por parte da instância política, sobre as reivindicações sociais, bandeiras centrais da mobilização operária. Esse embate de ideias, que se desdobrava da questão específica do operariado para outras esferas da sociedade brasileira, não foi resolvido pelo convencimento ou consenso. O olhar condenatório, produtor de um discurso que se utilizava de maneira recorrente da lógica argumentativa presente no mito político da conspiração, acaba por servir de legitimação às ações de força impostas ao movimento pelos governantes.

La crise du syndicalisme comme crise de la représentation des travailleurs : une étude de cas de l'évolution des identités collectives dans l'économie solidaire au Brésil.

Cette thèse part du postulat que la crise du syndicalisme résulte d’une remise en cause des identités collectives ayant légitimé jusque dans les années 70 leur représentation des travailleurs. En témoignent les mobilisations, qui se déroulent souvent en dehors des syndicats et de façon conflictuelle avec eux, de travailleuses et travailleurs longtemps minorés par les arrangements institutionnels prévalant avec la société salariale. Différents travaux dans le renouveau syndical relèvent de leur côté que les syndicats peinent à prendre en compte les besoins et aspirations de ces travailleurs car leur identité collective les entraîne à rester dans les sentiers des orientations et représentations institutionnalisées. Cependant, les auteurs se focalisent sur la façon dont le syndicalisme, et en particulier les leaders, peuvent reconstruire une représentation des travailleurs, et non sur la façon dont les identités collectives se transforment. Les études sur le syndicalisme héritent d’un débat sur les mouvements sociaux qui a abouti à scinder les approches théoriques entre celles conceptualisant les identités collectives, mais dans le cadre de théorisations contestables de l’évolution des sociétés, et celles qui sous-théorisent les identités collectives et considèrent que les mouvements sociaux émergent des processus politique et de la mobilisation des ressources. Les travaux sur le renouveau syndical reprennent généralement cette seconde approche et assimilent les mouvements de travailleurs à des organisations en considérant, implicitement, les buts de l’action collective comme donné. Or, un mouvement social est un concept ; il n’est pas réductible à une organisation, au risque sinon de perdre sa valeur heuristique, qui est de chercher à saisir les identités collectives en conflit et les stratégies associées. À partir de l’étude du cas du mouvement de travailleurs dans l’économie solidaire brésilienne, cette thèse questionne donc le « pourquoi de nouvelles identités collectives de travailleurs émergent » et le « comment ou le pourquoi des identités syndicales se transforment ou se reproduisent », lorsqu’elles sont confrontées à l’émergence de nouvelles façons de définir les dominations à combattre et les orientations. Les identités collectives sont opérationnalisées comme des matrices cognitives et normatives, ce qui permet de rendre compte de leur caractère évolutif en fonction des modalités d’interaction. L’étude de cas met en évidence que les mobilisations autonomes des travailleurs minorés sont porteuses de nouvelles définitions des problèmes et de pratiques sociales transformatrices, qui entrent en conflit avec les significations et les pratiques syndicales institutionnalisées. Elle montre que c’est à la suite d’interactions délibératives entre ces travailleurs et les syndicalistes que les identités syndicales se transforment. Cependant, la reconstitution des trajectoires de deux syndicats (de la principale centrale brésilienne) indique que le fait d’entrer dans de telles interactions ne dépend pas d’une décision rationnelle, mais de la perception (de la part des syndicats) des capacités des travailleurs à transformer le rapport au travail et au monde lorsqu’ils agissent collectivement. Un dernier résultat, corollaire, tient dans la falsification de l’hypothèse – défendue par une partie de la littérature sur le renouveau syndical – selon laquelle les syndicats, et en particulier les leaders, peuvent conduire une transformation de la représentation collective en procédant eux-mêmes à une agrégation des multiples identités collectives. Cette hypothèse, qui revient à considérer le but de l’action collective comme donné, est contredite par les données : elles montrent que, dans un tel cas, s’il y a bien des innovations institutionnelles conduites par le syndicat, ces innovations favorisent l’adaptation du syndicalisme aux mutations du capitalisme et non la transformation des rapports sociaux de domination, parce que prédominent alors les liens sociaux avec les groupes dominants, c’est-à-dire les interprétations cognitives dominantes des problèmes.

Dos movimentos sociais às funções institucionais: a Consolidação de uma geração política em Sergipe.

This study was presented to the Post-Graduation Program in Social Sciences at UFRN as part of the requisites for obtaining the title of Master in Social Sciences. It describes the results of the research From social movements to the institutional functions: the consolidation of a generation . Its main objective is to describe the history of a political generation that emerged from the social movements, in the 80 s, in Sergipe, and that nowadays occupies the main governmental positions in the State s political scenario. As its specific objectives, the research described the emerging of social movements in the 80s in Sergipe; it found in the social movements in Sergipe, in the 80s, the beginning of the history of a new political generation, and described the consolidation of this new political generation in institutional positions as the expression of a new group of power in Sergipe s politics. Among the social movements that gained visibility in that period and that projected their leadership into the political scenario of Sergipe, this study highlights: the students movement, teacher s movement, bank clercks movement, miners movement, and rural workers movement. It utilized as methodology the research in sites, magazines, and the use of testimonies from semi-structured interviews. The main leadership of the five movements that were analyzed is, nowadays, governing the state, administering the capital s city hall, and performing legislative work at the Legislative Assembly of Sergipe, and at the Chamber of City Councilmen of Aracaju. This study described the political history of the main leadership of that generation of militants and organizers of social movements, and of left party groups in Sergipe, highlighting that their consolidation in the political scenario of the State meant the consolidation of a new group of power in Sergipe s politics.

Em busca do tempo partido: a consciência histórica e o MST

The work that follows is dedicated to the study of the historic time experience by the political militancy from our time. The political militant from the left-wing is the one that denies the state of current things, recovering a historic experience located far before its time and projecting a future beyond the incessant reproduction of the present relations. We chosen the Landless Workers Movement, not as study object, but as specific place where this consciousness is made and can be comprehended. The historic consciousness study of the landless militancy is, for us, the best starting point to understand the magnification of the historical time operated on the change of social relations lived inside an organization. The time division between before and after, as well as the history being understood as a progress isn t a natural given data, but a construction that obeys the contradictions of the present. It, therefore, must understand how the present lived by the militancy operates changes on the consciousness of time. From documents, reference books, formation notebooks and several materials produced by MST, we try to understand the way that the movement tells his history and lists with this wider experience of the struggle for the change of the current social order. Similarly, when we hear reports of history of several militants, we try to comprehend how this wider narrative re-orients the sight over history himself, over the experience of contradictions on before and after making the landless militant

O currículo e as práticas pedagógicas na EJA: concepções e crenças dos professores da escola municipal Francisca Leonísia Cruz

The present investigation deals with the Curriculum and Pedagogical Practices of Young and Adults, EJA, and articulates with the conceptions and beliefs of teachers sitting. The empirical scope of this investigation consisted in the Municipal School Francisca Leonísia, located in the Agrarian Reform Settlement Serra Nova, city of Florânia/RN. Seeks to analyze the relationship between the Curriculum and Educational Practices of Young and Adult EJA - conceptions beliefs of these teachers. This work is based on qualitative research, interpretative character reflective and makes use of documentary analysis, structured interviews and reflective sessions as methodological procedures which ensure the achievement of our goals in research. These procedures allowed us to enter the practice setting and curriculum for teachers to understand how they think, prepare and practice of adult education in school curriculum research field. The documentary analysis provided the rethinking of the curriculum selected references, Political Pedagogical Project and Proposed Course of EJA, from a critical reading of concepts and conceptions given in these references, with a view to construction and reconstruction of concepts that reclaim the identity of young people and adult field, inserted in the Rural Workers Movement landless/MST. As reflective sessions were constituted in spaces of collective training and allowed the group to selfreflection e collective reflection about the ideas and beliefs that permeate the curriculum and guide their practices education in adult education. In these areas of training are also discussed current problems of adult education, the construction of an educational project of the adult education field to, warranties of learning and cultural identity of the adult education field and placed in the context of the MST. Under this view, it is concluded that the conceptions and beliefs of teachers seated directly relate to the curriculum designed, developed and practiced in adult education, as well as the educational practices that permeate the curriculum. This relation is in the midst of adversities of Rural Education, inserted in the Movement of Landless Rural Workers-MST, and requires the commitment of teachers to the necessary changes to an education are critical and emancipatory

Agrofuel policies in Brazil: paradigmatic and territorial disputes

The expansion of agrofuel crops challenges us to rethink policies, territories, human agency, and the paradigms used to explain them. In Brazil, policies supporting the expansion of agrofuel crops and the intensification of agrofuel production are reorganising rural land use and undermining some forms of participation in the capitalist and family modes of production. To reflect on this new reality, we study peasant movement reactions, proposals, and territorial disputes with agribusiness. Using the Pontal do Paranapanema region of São Paulo state as a case in point, the paper analyses territorial disputes between expanding sugarcane plantations and agrarian reform settlements as well as biodiesel production projects developed by the Landless Workers Movement (MST) and the Western São Paulo Federation of Settlement and Family Farmer Associations (FAAFOP). It also analyses the agrofuel policies of other peasant organisations, including Via Campesina. The production of agrofuels has changed the processes of land acquisition and use by both agribusiness and the peasantry, provoking new insights into the nature of territorial conflicts and thereby stimulating the need to revise perspectives on the agrarian question in Brazil.

TERRITORIAL DISPUTES, LABOUR RELATIONS and ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH IN AGROHIDRONEGOCIO sugarcane IN THE PONTAL PARANAPANEMA (SP)

This research aims to analyze the conflict over land in Postal do Paranapanema (state of São Paulo, Brazil), considering the competition for water resources and the degradation of environmental health in the area called the agrohidronegocio sugarcane. The survey results indicate that the expansion of sugarcane cultivation in this region is causing the worsening health of workers. Moreover, the research also seeks to identify alternative models to the hegemonic project of regional development based on matrix agrohidroenergetica. For this, the research has as interlocutors various types of social movements such as the Landless Workers Movement and the Movement of Dam Affected, and union leaders.

A militância em movimento: amizade e maquinação de modos de existência no MST

This study focuses on two issues, the process of subjectivity production and the exercise of friendship alongside political militancy in the Landless Rural Workers Movement (MST). Friendship is here understood as the social practice with the potential to question certain modes of socially formed relationships as well as their becoming a political exercise. The political militancy phenomenon is problematized based on the subjectivity production perspective. The objective of the study was to construct acartography of the subjectivity production processes with political activists of the MST and to highlight the points in which the exercise of friendship enhances the appearance of singularity in the context of this militancy. The cartography is a research method that permits the identification of macro political, as well as micro political forces that interfere in a psychosocial context, such as the MST. The participants were members of an MST group that participated in a Pedagogy course coordinated by the Department of Education of the Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Norte. The other participants were militants involved in political formation activities at the social base, as well as in the other levels of the MST in the states of Rio Grande do Norte, Paraíba, Pernambuco, Ceará, Minas Gerais and Paraná. The results are linked to the oscillate incorporation of the landless identity model that occurs as a group of disciplinary strategies are put in practice in the political formation activities with militants, as well as the ways of model evation are formed. This occurs to the extent that new demands and forms of invested desires beyond the land object are incorporated in the MST. Such singular processes happen in three areas of the political exercise of friendship articulation: the masses, where there is a possibility for the MST to construct a new social collectivity; gender relations, where the socially destined space for women is redimensionized and; sexual diversity, which provokes the MST to follow its potential in questioning the actual hegemonic living modes. It is therefore considered that the MST has a great opportunity to become an important mediator of contemporary social and political struggles

A educação do movimento dos sem-terra

O Instituto de Educação Josué de Castro, que tem como mantenedor o Instituto Técnico de Capacitação e Pesquisa da Reforma Agrária e é vinculado ao movimento dos sem-terra, constitui-se em uma escola de educação média e profissional. O objetivo desse texto é o de expor os elementos educativos principais presentes na escola, bem como elucidar se a sua concepção educacional, que parece ser a mesma vigente nas escolas controladas pelo MST, contém elementos educacionais de interesse para as classes trabalhadoras em geral, do ponto de vista democrático e popular. A investigação revelou que o Instituto, estruturado e organizado de forma diferente daquela usualmente encontrada nas escolas oficiais, coloca em epígrafe categorias educacionais como a união do ensino com o trabalho e a gestão democrática compartilhada entre alunos, professores e funcionários.
