| সংক্ষিপ্ত: | During ethnographic inquiries carried out between 2012 and 2018 in several favelas in the city of Rio de Janeiro, we were able to witness first-hand the emergence of these new types of political action within the favelas. We witnessed numerous protest activities from the inside, while observing daily life in favela spaces in the context of the pacification policies implemented from 2009 onwards. In the course of our respective inquiries, we combined in situ interviews and observations with online observations, which are fundamental for understanding the highly connected dimension of these new forms of protest. Comparing the trajectories of two important activists from our respective fields, we propose to examine the “linked ecologies” of this renewal in protest movements at the intersection of several social worlds (favelas, social movements, NGOs, university) beset by tension and “jurisdictional conflicts”. References to the fight against racial discrimination have given new words to the historical causes of favela campaigns (against evictions and police violence). Expressed with different concepts, symbols and watchwords, this fight includes a demand for the autonomy of these movements from the white middle class and from traditional political organizations, which the second part of the article attempts to analyze. |
