De teto e chão não abrimos mão: o protagonismo dos sujeitos coletivos no enfrentamento dos conflitos fundiários, vivências (resistências) construídas a partir da luta popular

Abstract

The aim of this research was to deepen the study of the territorial dynamics experienced by collective subjects in situations of rights violations, more specifically in land conflicts. This thesis focuses on housing movements and collective subjects who engage daily in the struggle against evictions and displacements. The methodological approach of this work is based on the concrete experience of understanding how collective subjects articulate and construct territorial strategies, which counter the perverse effects of the implementation of neoliberal policies that divide territories and turn them into active capital for the speculative market. This research is grounded in the collective action of diverse subjects and is part of the effort to bring lived experience to the center of the debate, based on readings of everyday life and collective action, through the lens of critical thinking, from the perspective of transformative praxis, articulating a theoretical-methodological framework capable of visualizing the process of building resistance to transform reality. The methodological procedures aim to highlight the territorial political influence of the Secretariat of Favelas, Occupations, and Tenements (SFOC), constructing a snapshot of its territorial action through data collection, visual documentation, and the narratives of collective actors, with the goal of understanding their characteristics, dynamics, and social relations. The survey of the favelas and occupations that comprise the SFOC's network represents a significant contribution to political influence. This close-up analysis of the data will be invaluable for constructing interpretations of land conflicts, their similarities, and precariousness, as well as the social markers that shape the relevance of the set of actions and the concrete presence of the political influence of social movements in defense of the right to housing and all fundamental rights for the reproduction of life. Certainly, this work does not end here; the analyses and systematizations will continue to challenge the complex situation, in new insurgent paths—a necessary and fundamental commitment for the collective struggle
