Università Roma Tre

During the course will be analysed some social movements that have the particularity of emphasise the collective identity, values and lifestyles, rather than on previously defined ideological bodies, and are not so much aligned with or supported by organised social sectors. The incidence of various factors in the emergence, persistence and decline of these social movements will be explored: such as the modality of government intervention, the change of economic structuring and labour reorganisation, the rituals of the landless movement in Brazil, the peasant movement in Ecuador, the human rights movement in Argentina, and also the "underclass" in Argentina.

Required readings will be provided at the beginning of the course.
