O presente ensaio procura apresentar a práxis da assessoria jurídica popular (AJP) a partir da experiência histórica da construção da concepção do Direito insurgente elaborada por advogados populares brasileiros. Tomando como referência os escritos de Miguel Pressburger, é possível visualizar o lugar da relação entre direito e movimentos populares, a qual está intimamente relacionada com a recepção da educação popular na AJP. Para contextualizar o debate, o texto apresenta um breve balanço histórico da AJP, bem como suas principais modalidades e uma interpretação a respeito de seus fundamentos, desde uma perspectiva crítica oriunda do marxismo. The Praxis of Popular Advocacy as a Vector for the Study of the Relationship between Law and Social Movements: the case of Insurgent Law This essay aims to present the practice of “assessoria jurídica popular – AJP” (Popular Advocacy), based on the historical experience of construction of the Insurgent Law elaborated by Brazilian popular lawyers. By reference to the writings of Miguel Pressburger, it’s possible to outline the place of the relationship between Law and Social Movements, which is closely related to the reception of popular education in AJP. Contextualizing the debate, the text presents a brief historical account of AJP as well as a typology, and an interpretation about its foundations, from a critical perspective derived from Marxism.

This work is part of the research project developed by the Observatory on New Social Movements and Law in Brazil at La Salle University, focusing in the city of Porto Alegre and on the occupation of the City Council on July of 2013, which is placed in the context of the protests against the increase of bus fares and for free fare, attempting to understand the relationship between the political organization of the Bloco de Lutas pelo Transporte Publico and its legal group during the eight days of City Council occupation. We conducted semi-structured interviews with members of the occupation in order to clarify the dynamics in the movement and its understanding of the relationship between law and social movements, highlighting the deferment of the eviction order and the elaboration of two Bills as fundamental moments of the relationship between the collective organization of the occupation and its legal team. Este artículo forma parte de un proyecto de investigación desarrollado por el Observatorio de Nuevos Movimientos Sociales y Derecho de la Universidad La Salle de Brasil. Nos centramos en la ciudad de Porto Alegre y en la ocupación de su ayuntamiento en julio de 2013, en el contexto de las protestas contra el aumento de las tarifas de autobús y a favor del transporte gratuito. Intentamos comprender la relación entre la organización política del Bloco de Lutas pelo Transporte Publico y su grupo jurídico durante los ocho días que duró la ocupación. Realizamos entrevistas semiestructuradas con miembros de la ocupación para aclarar las dinámicas del movimiento y cómo entendía la relación entre derecho y movimientos sociales, destacando el aplazamiento de la orden de desalojo y la elaboración de dos leyes como momentos fundamentales de la relación entre la organización colectiva de la ocupación y su equipo jurídico.

O artigo ora exposto é fruto de uma pesquisa de mestrado concluída em 2018 e que teve como objetivo refletir acerca da educação do campo e suas interfaces; privilegiou-se observar a relação existente entre o debate de uma educação que respeita a particularidade dos povos do campo e as práticas educativas executadas historicamente pelos movimentos sociais populares do campo, práticas essas, que ao nosso ver nascem na década de 1960 atrelada a perspectiva da educação popular, vindo ao decorrer dos anos reverberar em ações e políticas públicas a exemplo do Programa Nacional de Educação na Reforma Agrária/ Pronera, que ganhou nas últimas décadas status de política pública, completando vinte anos de existência em 2018. Neste entendimento, perceber a relação da educação do campo e da educação popular, da construção do Pronera enquanto projeto coletivo historicamente calcado no seio dos movimentos sociais, bem como o que diferenciam as práticas educativas na perspectiva do Pronera daquelas tradicionais é de suma importância em tempos de exceção.Palavras-chaves: Educação do campo; Educação Popular; Movimentos Sociais; Pronera. ABSTRACT: The article presented here is the result of a master 's study completed in 2018 and aimed to reflect on the countryside education and its interfaces; it was necessary to observe the relation between the debate of an education that respects the particularity of the rural people and the educational practices historically carried out by the popular social movements of the countryside, which we believe were born in the 1960s, linked to the perspective of popular education, over the years reverberate in actions and public policies such as the National Program for Education in Agrarian Reform, which has gained public policy status in the last decades, completing twenty years of existence in 2018.

Para uma sociologia da insurgência, envolve-se o contexto sociopolítico da advocacia para compreender como as práticas de insurgência modificam o Direito. O protagonismo dos movimentos populares na América Latina pode ser mais bem estudado com a aproximação aos advogados populares envolvidos na defesa de suas causas. Esta agenda de pesquisa serve para a reflexão sobre a relação entre direito e movimentos sociais e a ação junto a esses atores em um contexto de insurgência e contrainsurgência, próprio do período recente do contexto brasileiro. A advocacia popular é estudada com base em entrevistas e pesquisa em acervo profissional dos advogados, como uma possibilidade de atuação em apoio às práticas de insurgência.  Brazilian sociopolitical context of advocacy and insurgent practices The sociopolitical context of advocacy is involved to understand how insurgency practices modify law, for a sociology of insurgency. The protagonism of popular movements in Latin America can be better studied by approaching popular advocates involved in the defense of their causes. This research agenda serves to reflect on the relationship between law and social movements, the action of these actors in a context of insurgency and counterinsurgency, typical of the recent period of the Brazilian context. The popular advocacy is studied based on interviews and research in the professional documents of lawyers, as a possibility to act in support of insurgency practices.

The rise of digitisation has led to a radical rethinking of the way in which research and publishing contribute to education, particularly with regards to the previously distinct and now rather more unstable categories of knowledge production and consumption. This article explores aspects of the relationship between digital culture and social movements by examining the adoption of digital publishing tools by educators working in the popular education methodology. Using BuildTheWheel.org, an online community oriented towards the sharing of curriculum as a case study, it examines the apparent meshing of some of the principal components of digital culture as outlined by Mark Deuze, with the goals, values, and practices of popular education, and explores the re-imagining of power relations between teacher and student, author and audience, producer and consumer.

This article discusses the struggles of urban social movements for a de-neoliberalisation of housing policies in Poulantzian terms as a “condensation of the relationship of forces”. Drawing on an empirical analysis of the “Berliner Mietenvolksentscheid” (Berlin rent referendum), which was partially successful in forcing the city government of Berlin to adopt a more progressive housing policy, the article argues that urban social movements have the capacity to challenge neoliberal housing regimes. However, the specific materiality of the state apparatus and its strategic selectivity both limit the scope of intervention for social movements aiming at empowerment and non-hierarchical decision-making.

George Floyd’s murder by police on 26 May 2020 set off a cycle of struggle that was notable for its size, intensity, and rate of diffusion. Starting in Minneapolis, the uprising quickly spread to dozens of other major cities and brought with it a repertoire that included riots, arson, and looting. In many places, these tactics coexisted with more familiar actions like public assemblies and mass marches; however, the inflection these tactics gave to the cycle of contention is not easily reconciled with the protest repertoire most frequently mobilized during movement campaigns in the United States today. This discrepancy has led to extensive commentary by scholars and movement participants, who have often weighed in by considering the moral and strategic efficacy of the chosen tactics. Such considerations should not be discounted. Nevertheless, I argue that both the dynamics of contention witnessed during the uprising and their ambivalent relationship to the established protest repertoire must first be understood in historical terms. By considering the relationship between violence, social movements, and Black freedom struggles in this way, I argue that scholars can develop a better understanding of current events while anticipating how the dynamics of contention are likely to develop going forward. Being attentive to these dynamics should in turn inform our research agendas, and it is with this aim in mind that I offer the following ten theses.

The chapter discusses the relationship between social movements and peaceful change. First, it reviews the way this relationship has been elaborated in IR constructivist and critical analyses, as part of transnational activist networks, global civil society, and transnational social movements, while considering the blind sides left by the dominant treatment of these entities as positive moral actors. Second, the chapter reviews insights from the revolution and political violence literature, a literature usually sidelined in IR debates about civil society, in order to cast a wider relational perspective on how social movements participate in, and are affected by, interactive dynamic processes that may escalate into violent outcomes at both local and international levels.

Taking a point of departure in the paradoxical fact that the increase in educational knowledge leads to an increase in uncertainty for educational organisations, this article explores how uncertainty and contingency have increasingly become an integral part of school governance. The article draws on Niklas Luhmann’s theory of ‘World Society’ as a functional differentiated society providing a range of different symbolic media for educational organisations. To trace the increase in the complexity of governing, we provide a historical account of the shifting couplings between schools and function systems. We show how the school becomes linked to an increasing number of symbolic media so that education becomes only one out of many other concerns. The article studies the consequences these shifting couplings have for how schools are governed and how they are expected to self-manage their relationship to different function systems. The article adds to existing studies of how education has become more and more differentiated with the argument that this has also led to new forms of couplings between schools and the education system with a number of important implications for the teaching profession.

(BJ6.350)Those who discard their weapons and surrender their persons, I will let live. Like a lenient master in a household, I will punish the incorrigible but preserve the rest for myself.So ends Titus' address to the embattled defenders of Jerusalem in the sixth book of Josephus'Jewish War(6.328-50). It is the most substantial instance of communication between Romans and Jews in the work. Titus compares himself to the master of a household and the Jewish rebels to his slaves. Is this how we expect a Roman to describe empire? If not, what does it mean for our understanding of the politics of Josephus' history? The question is particularly acute given that this is not just any Roman but Titus himself: heir apparent and, if we believe Josephus, the man who read and approved this historical account. It is thus surprising that, while the speeches of Jewish advocates of submission to Rome such as Agrippa II (2.345-401) and Josephus himself (5.362-419) have long fascinated readers, Titus' speech has received little or no attention. Remarkably, it is not mentioned in any of three recent collections of essays on Josephus. This paper aims to highlight the rhetorical choices that Josephus has made in constructing this voice for Titus—particularly his self-presentation as master—and the interpretive questions these raise for his readers. It should go without saying that the relationship of this text to anything that Titus may have said during the siege is highly problematic. (Potentially more significant, but unfortunately no less speculative, is the question of how it might relate to any speech recorded in the commentaries of Vespasian and Titus that Josephus appears to have used as a source.) What we have is a Josephan composition that is embedded in the broader narrative of theJewish War.

AbstractIn this special issue, we bring together empirical research that takes a critical perspective on the relationship between language learning and individual aspirations for future success. In doing so we aim to initiate a debate on how neoliberal ideology and mode of governance permeate language learning as part of a wider neoliberal project that postulates the ideal of the competitive and self-responsible language learner. The four contributions illustrate how neoliberal desires about entrepreneurial selves play out differently within different social, political, or linguistic contexts. They do not only address different languages individuals supposedly need to teach or acquire for a successful future within a specific context, but also concentrate on the discourses and social relations shaping these entrepreneurial aspirations. Ranging from vocational training in Japan, early education in Singapore, healthcare tourism in India, to higher education in Switzerland, the contributions all illustrate the role of language as part of the struggle to improve either oneself or others. While the research sites illustrate that investments in language are simultaneously promising and risky and as such dependent on local and global linguistic markets, they equally highlight underlying language ideologies and reveal wider structures of inequality that are firmly embedded in local, national and global contexts.
