Lutas por e nos territórios: manifestações dos movimentos socioespaciais e socioterritoriais rurais no Brasil nos anos de 2020 e 2021 a partir da metodologia da Rede DATALUTA

manifestaciones de los movimientos socio espaciales y socio territoriales rurales em Brasil en los años 2020 y 2021 a partir de la metodología de la Red Dataluta

Abstract

The years between 2019 and 2022 have been framed by a conservative national government in Brazil, which has boosted sectors of the extreme right, especially in the countryside. The strategies of social mobilization were reconfigured in the disputes around alternative models of rural development. This article has as main objective to understand the actions of socio-spatial and socio-territorial movements in this situation and the repertoires used in defense and production of spaces and territories. Using the DATALUTA Network database, we analyzed the actions of these collective subjects in the years 2020 and 2021, based on the type of actions related to manifestations and protests. For this period, around 100 mobilizations were registered, with the main repertoires: protests, roadblocks, occupations of public buildings, marches and others. As main results, we observed that the MST was the movement that acted the most, with great national repercussion. Despite the decrease in land occupations, a traditional action since the origins of the MST, other repertoires were activated, such as protests against evictions and abuses of power, signaling that movements reinvent themselves in contexts that are adverse to participation.
