This line of research focuses on the vast array of forms and meanings assumed by social conflicts and collective actions, as well the forms of associated political representation. It also includes studies on the social dynamics that construct social and political identities. Topics of interest include: processes and forms of organizing and activity for different segments (field workers, rural entrepreneurs and agribusiness, women, young people, the elderly, consumers, and ethnic groups); trade unionism and informal forms of worker organization; rebellions, revolutions, and insurgencies; constructing political identities; local, national, and transnational connections and networks; mediation activities in various forms (institutional, discursive, and political culture); the significant dimension of social movements; legal dimensions of social struggles and uses of the law; relationships between organizational processes and constructing new rights; violence in its different forms. This line is linked to the Center for Research, Documentation, and Reference on Rural Social Movements and Public Policies (www.ufrrj.br/cpda/nms/) and the Ruralism, Agribusiness, and Power Relations Study Center (NARUP).
