“…Furthermore, Santos believes that SMs play a crucial role in advocating for social improvements and the right to dignified work. He also created the Popular University of Social Movements (UPMS) inside the WSFs (Santos et al, 2019), which aim to promote intercultural and interpolitical education and knowledge exchange among SM and other spheres. Inside the UPMS, there are many Work Groups and Assemblies in which the total time of intervention for each speaker is limited, in order to achieve the maximum collective participation.…”

Alain Touraine’s theory on social movements (SMs) characterizes them as having their own collective identity, a defined opponent, and a dispute between these two opponents. This paper considers that Touraine’s theory on SMs does not contemplate their main motto: Emancipation. It is believed that Boaventura de Sousa Santos’ ideas can contribute to identifying SMs with emancipatory potential. To make these concepts concrete, examples of SMs are presented in Brazil and worldwide and analyzed in light of the two cited theories.

“…These governments created a «fatal equation between economy and life» and argued that the economy would be more important than life, so they were reluctant to increase containment measures, neglecting the severity of the pandemic. This delay resulted in thousands of deaths (Santos, 2021). As Beck states, due to the impact of global risks, States are more authoritarian but inefficient when it comes to dealing with different global threats and dangers, becoming «strong failed states» (Beck, 2008, p. 79).…”

Currently, COVID-19 is perceived as an epidemic, a new «plague», referring to the matrix metaphor of the pestis expressed in the series contagion – death – fear – isolation. This article aims to understand the multiple collective challenges posed by plague epidemics. The analysis of these challenges may contribute to the reflection on several dimensions that shape the COVID-19 pandemic threat. Individuals interpret the different pasts aiming to solve the problems they face in the present. The collective challenges that the political and medical «management» of the plague place are shaped by circumstantial coalitions of diverse interests, enabling the recognition, demarcation, and legitimisation of actions regarding its public management and control, materialised in concrete health policies, such as the development of several specific devices (isolation, health cordons, lazarettos, quarantine), thus intervening in the configuration of «collective management» of epidemics.

“…Além disso, Santos acredita que os MSs desempenham um papel crucial na defesa de reformas sociais e do direito ao trabalho digno. Nesta linha de atuação, ele criou a Universidade Popular dos Movimentos Sociais (UPMS) no âmbito do FSM (Santos et al, 2019), visando a promover a educação intercultural e interpolítica, por meio do intercâmbio de conhecimentos entre os MSs e outras esferas. Dentro da UPMS existem diversos grupos de trabalho e assembleias.…”

Resumo A teoria de Alain Touraine sobre os Movimentos Sociais (MS) os caracteriza por possuírem uma identidade coletiva própria, adversário definido e uma aposta disputada por estes dois adversários. Este artigo tem como tese que a teoria de Touraine sobre MSs não contempla em si o seu lema principal: a Emancipação. Nesse sentido, acredita-se que as ideias de Boaventura de Sousa Santos podem contribuir para identificar MSs com potencial emancipatório. Como forma de ilustrar estes conceitos, são apresentados exemplos de MSs no Brasil e no mundo, analisando-os à luz das teorias citadas.
