From the Precarious Work in the Countryside and in the City to the Militant Organization:

forms of political action of social movements in brazil

Abstract

The theme of this article is based on two main axes: the first seeks to analyze, from the point of view of Sociology of Work, such as the Landless Workers Movement (MST) and the Movement of the Homeless Workers (MTST) in the incorporation of precarious groups of rural and urban workers into their ranks of social and political activity. The second seeks to analyze how the "training sectors" of the two movements act in this dynamic of absorption of workers and the consequent political formation of these same workers, who will form the ranks of the two social movements in an organic way, as militants. Finally, a comparison is made between the dynamics of the two movements in order to better understand the path taken by precarious workers, who become political actors within the two largest social movements in the country. It was considered important to rescue research work carried out on political formation in social movements, but emphasizing the political protagonism of sectors of precarious workers in these two movements.
