Abstract:http://revista-redes.rediris.es Redes e Capacidade de Ação na Sociedade Civil O caso de São Paulo-Brasil Adrian Gurza Lavalle-FFLCH-USP e CEBRAP Graziela Castello-UNICAMP e CEBRAP Renata Mirandola Bichir-IUPERJ e CEM-CEBRAP 1 Resumo A despeito do notável sucesso político e analítico da categoria "sociedade civil" nos últimos anos, sabe-se surpreendentemente pouco acerca do modus operandi das organizações civis reais, mesmo daquelas que têm sido constantemente salientadas na literatura devido ao seu protagonism… Show more
“…First, we ask: Who are these actors? In addition to considering the generational effect, as many of these collectives are primarily composed of young activists, we argue, in line with the approach proposed by Gurza Lavalle, Bichir, and Castello (2004), that it is crucial to pay attention to the analytical bias that often creates an impression of novelty regarding phenomena that existed previously. While these authors have emphasized that social movements were made invisible by the literature employing the category of civil society and examining its actions within participatory institutions, this article draws attention to the erasure of collective actors from the peripheries.…”

“…At the same time, political scientists shifted their analytical focus to the category of civil society, highlighting a group of new actors, particularly NGOs and civil organizations (Gurza Lavalle, Bichir and Castello, 2004). As a result, certain popular and peripheral actors were marginalized from political studies.…”
This article sheds light on forms of collective action in urban peripheries that are rarely addressed in studies on participation in Brazil: the communication collectives. It proposes a history – and process based interpretation to understand who these actors are and why they criticize the interaction with the State. The research is based on content analysis and on an exhaustive thematic characterization of 14,315 posts on Twitter and Facebook pages of 8 collectives from four Brazilian regions, during the Covid-19 pandemic, collected from the social media platforms' APIs. The findings reveal the actors' perception that peripheries have long operated on the basis of "we for us" and disclose the differential and sometimes violent face of the State's interaction with peripheries.

“…En la medida en que se debilitó la visión homogénea de la sociedad civil y la oposición maniquea entre ella y el Estado, la literatura en Brasil caminó progresivamente hacia el estudio de las conexiones entre los dos circuitos de la representación. La fisura comenzó en el país de la mano de las críticas al perfil altamente estilizado y normativo de la literatura de los años noventa (Gurza Lavalle, 2003;Dagnino, Olvera y Panfichi, 2006), y trajo consigo no sólo comprensiones más cuidadosas de la pluralidad y conflictividad interna de la sociedad civil, sino también repercusiones sobre los objetos, la teoría y las metodologías de investigación utilizadas para examinar las relaciones entre Estado y sociedad civil.…”

“…Al., 2003). Además de ello, se pueden estudiar comunidades específicas delimitadas temática o físicamente como las relaciones de amistad en el interior de la elite financiera (Kadushin, 1995), las redes empresariales en Sao Paulo (Toledo, 2005), la red de la elite política paranaense (Nazareno, 2004), las redes de músicos y las transformaciones de los estilos musicales (Kirschbaum, 2006), las redes entre asociaciones civiles (Gurza Lavalle et al, 2007), las redes personales en el interior de una unidad productiva (Silva, 2003) o las redes en un asentamiento informal bajo la intervención del poder público (Pavez, 2006). Por fin, y analizando las dinámicas políticas y sociales en un sentido más amplio, los estudios pueden enfocar campos de acción política y social tan distintos como la consolidación de un partido político en nivel nacional (Hedstrom et al, 2000), las relaciones sexuales entre adolescentes (Bearman et.…”
