Description
Summary:In 2011, a unique phenomenon occurred in recent history, a simultaneous and pervasive outbreak of social protest movements on a global scale. The background: the economic crisis of 2008. Social, wealth and power inequalities seem to be the common denominator of the rebel mob. Could the structure of globalized financial capitalism influence the agency and subjectivity of social actors through the identification and experience of inequalities? Our objective is to retrace the international debate about inequalities, in order to gather the analytical tools of this field of study and make use of it to analyze the recent history of inequalities in Brazil, so that we can suggest an interpretive line for the sharpening of social conflict in Brazil at the closing of the last 15 years of the local political process.
