It focuses on the case of RenovaBR, the most prominent among the organizations known as “Political Renewal Movements” (PRM). These initiatives emerged largely in response to the critical juncture that followed the June 2013 contention cycle . In this context, the research analyzes the social backgrounds and associative ties of the 118 candidates supported by RenovaBR in the 2018 elections, seeking to understand how, in the wake of post-2013 political opportunities, the organization worked to redirect its members’ civic engagement toward representative institutions through electoral participation. The analysis unfolds across three complementary axes. The first reconstructs the historical conditions that enabled the emergence of the PRM – especially RenovaBR – highlighting how they were shaped through the discursive appropriation of the legitimacy crisis affecting Brazil’s political system. The second investigates the social trajectories and political agenda of the 2018 Renova candidates’, linking them to ideas and actors that surfaced during the 2013 cycle of mobilizations. The third maps the ties between these candidacies and civil society organizations, revealing how political renewal is structured through specific associative circuits. Drawing from this analytical framework, the thesis argues that political renewal groups reframed diffuse and contentious criticisms of the political system and the state – articulated between 2013 and 2016 – into a project of institutional occupation. In doing so, the so-called “renewers” mobilized technical competencies, connections to organized civil society, and the discourse of political professionalization as strategies for public legitimation. The study further shows that, on the one hand, such initiatives can be interpreted as responses to the crisis of representation and the closure of the Brazilian party system, as recognized in existing literature. On the other hand, it demonstrates that, despite their rhetoric of inclusion of the “ordinary citizen” in politics, these organizations are grounded in a selective ecology of civil society actors, primarily linking middle- and upper-class participation and associative networks to non-hegemonic center and right-wing political parties. Finally, the dissertation contributes to the scholarly agenda on the outcomes of collective action by proposing that the PRM be understood as institutional legacies of the 2013 protest cycle – translating social demands into non-contentious repertoires of institutional engagement. In this sense, the emergence of these groups is interpreted as an attempt by specific sectors of civil society to continue the political impulse of June 2013 by other means.

In mid2010, the economic subfield of plus size fashion began to grow in Brazil, so that the growth of this segment has increasingly altered the configurations of the economic field of fashion. This growth is generally associated with cultural changes, as well as with the processes of building supply and demand for plus size fashion. The aim of this dissertation is to understand, by analysing the Pop Plus fair, the social logic behind the creation of the economic subfield of plus size fashion in Brazil. To do this, bibliographical research, participant observation, interviews, descriptive analysis and multiple correspondence analysis were used. This dissertation concludes that the construction and growth of the economic subfield of plus size fashion is not only due to the need for brands to sell garments in large sizes, but also due to changes in cultural standards. Generally speaking, changes in beauty standards, the growth of anti-gordophobia movements and the growth in demand for plus-size clothing were all factors that influenced the growth in the commercialisation of plus-size clothing. Finally, from participant observation it was possible to see that the economic subfield of plus size fashion is legitimised by the meanings that these garments have, both for those who sell them and for those who consume them, given that the production of the offer takes into account aesthetic and ethical factors as well as economic factors. Based on the descriptive and multiple correspondence analyses, it was possible to conclude that the location of the shopkeepers is a determining factor in differentiating the economic subfield of plus size fashion, while body features, especially the fact that they are fat women, bring the agents of the subfield closer together.

Initially, this work category in Brazil and its genesis as a social group was explored through a socio-historical strategy of research and so its dynamics in previous historical periods, its process of proletarianization in the post-slavery epoch and its racialization marked as black and migrant. In addition, the aim is to understand the consequences of urban development infrastructures in cities and labor systems as an agent of promoting social inequalities in emerging capitalism by using former slaves as marginalized labor force in the infracircuit of the economy. In a second moment, the ideological conflicts regarding the boundaries of human and non-human relations are identified as relevant since this group has developed an ancestral interspecific relationship amongst equines, considering kin members in their families. However, they have struggled in public sphere conflicts between government institutions and civil society to legitimize their multispecies way of life in urban contexts resulting in acts of racist violence aiming to prohibit their status as companion, to repress black workers and their more-than-human families with equines. Thus, it’s concluding the crucial role Wagon Workers’ occupation does into dialectic of urban development since they perform a function of marginalized labor force at peripheral neighborhoods of the region lowering the costs of social reproduction of the urban space, and still, State reinforces its domination over these workers through racial, class and species repression. Furthermore, the State, through various colonial practices of dehumanization, perpetuates the erasure of an endogenous form of interspecific organization in the form of epistemicide of their culture and traditions guided by developmentalist ideology that prevails in the metropolitan region.

Its theme lies in the articulation between a Catholic rite and a symbol of a Black social and political organization against colonization and racism, which also refers to a memory of slavery. In this sense, the songs suggest the existence of a Black identity that is crossed by the Christian devotion and at the same time politically compromised with the anti-racist fight. Assuming that the work in question not only reproduces but proactively contributes to the social and religious imaginary of the Black Christian and anti-racist community, my general aim is to analyze the album “Missa dos Quilombos”, seeking to identify the discourses conveyed through music that potentially generate an Afro-diasporic theological counternarrative resulting from the articulations between the anti-racist fight and the Christian messages. In order to carry out this analysis, I turn primarily to the British sociologist Paul Gilroy and his theoretical elaboration of the Black Atlantic, considering the cross-cultural and transnational formation of social and cultural Afro-diasporic experience. Initially, I tried to locate the record “Missa dos Quilombos” in the Black Atlantic circuit, connecting the work to similar subjects and narratives from a variety of historical contexts, especially in the post-abolition period. After that, I investigated the process of composition of the album in question, analyzing its importance and its Afro- diasporic, cultural and political aspects, considering the relation of its musical repertoire to the social context of the immediately preceding period and its circulation in the following years in the Brazilian society and in the transnational circuit. Lastly, I examined the music tracks in “Missa dos Quilombos”, emphasizing the production of an Afro-diasporic theological anti- racist and anti-colonial counternarrative, that anticipates some elements and assumptions of Black Brazilian theological reflection.
