“…Ironically, Brazil's authoritarian regimes affected some of these changes. Under Getúlio Vargas (who would later assume dictatorial powers), suffrage was extended to women and the vote of all enfranchised persons was made compulsory and secret (Holston 2008:105;Silva and Silva 2015). Later, during the military dictatorship , the Electoral Code made it "unacceptable .…”

This paper explores rural Brazilians' interpretations of and ethical reflections on political clientelism. Brazilian elites often regard the people of the dry hinterland (sertanejos) as lazy, politically apathetic, and prone to corrupting democratic elections through the sale of their votes. Here I argue that the sertanejos living in the northeastern state of Piauí practice a form of clientelism that entails an ethical distinction between degraded vote buying and morally upright electoral transactions with politicians. For the sertanejos of Piauí's interior, ethical electoral transactions do not corrupt democratic elections; they reverse the moral damage that elections themselves cause. Elections refigure socially embedded persons as numerical individuals destined to be added together as equal quanta of generic value. Ethical transactions reconstitute the voter's socially embedded personhood after the election has passed. However, rather than vindicating clientelism, this analysis draws attention to the social inequalities that prevent some people from practicing the ethical forms of political exchange. It therefore builds toward a standpoint for critiquing political clientelism that does not reproduce liberal idealizations of democratic citizenship. 1. This paper emerged from the 2016 Wenner-Gren Symposium on "The Anthropology of Corruption." I am deeply grateful to Sarah Muir and Akhil Gupta for organizing and leading that symposium (along with Leslie Aiello, Laurie Obbink, and Soo-Young Kim) and for their invaluable feedback on earlier drafts of this essay. I am also indebted to all of my fellow symposium participants, who were likewise instrumental in shaping my interest and thinking about patron-client relations and the normative regimes condemning them.

“…Antes do período em análise, é plausível afirmar que ocorreu competição eleitoral nas eleições em 1933, para a Constituinte Federal, e em 1934, para as Constituintes Estaduais e para a Câmara Federal, antes da interrupção do processo eleitoral com o Estado Novo. Na avaliação de Thiago Silva e Estevão Silva (2015), trata-se das primeiras eleições sem recurso à "degola" dos candidatos de oposição eleitos que, desse modo, puderam assumir seus cargos 3 . Havia também um quadro partidário mais difuso e diverso, ainda que os partidos permanecessem regionais ou estaduais.…”

O objetivo deste artigo é analisar os recursos mobilizados pelos deputados eleitos nas cinco disputas para a Assembleia Estadual do Ceará ocorridas no período democrático de 1945 a 1964. A hipótese é que estes agentes detinham multinotabilidade e trunfos diversificados reconvertidos na carreira política tornando-os competitivos. A pesquisa apoiou-se em dados quantitativos sobre os resultados das eleições e em base de dados biográficos utilizada na análise sociográfica da trajetória dos agentes. Concluiu-se que o sucesso dos agentes analisados não se deveu ao fato de deterem multiposicionalidade e multinotabilidade mas devido a recursos comuns à lógica da reprodução direta, ou seja, os econômicos, políticos e sociais herdados da família.

Gendered path dependency: women’s representation in 20th-century Brazil

This study investigates women’s under-representation in national legislative elections and the gendered legacies embedded in Brazil’s electoral system and party dynamics. Focusing on the historical period prior to the 1996 implementation of a quota law, this article applies a feminist historical institutionalist approach to identify institutions and actors influencing women’s representation. Brazil’s electoral rules for legislative elections, that is, an open-list proportional representation system, remained surprisingly stable throughout periods of regime change and institutional uncertainty in the 20th century. It was not until the return to democracy and the 1986 constituent election that women were able to carve some space in Brazil’s National Congress. This research argues that the relaxing of rules dictating the creation of political parties and the strengthening of women’s movements in the prior decade were influential in creating a propitious moment for increasing the presence of women in national legislative politics. Key messages <ul><li>There is a historical legacy of political institutions that influences the evolution of women’s representation.</li> <li>Brazil’s dictatorships influenced the stunting of women’s representation in elected positions.</li> <li>Women’s movements and electoral uncertainties allowed women to gain political space in political parties prior to the 1986 constituent election.</li></ul>
