Juventude sem terra: o cotidiano e o processo de identificação com o MST.

Abstract

This dissertation intends to analyze the process of identification of the Sem Terra's youth with ideals and practices of MST. First we will first reconstruct political participation of youth in the history of the fight for land throughout the History of Brazil, both national and local history; focusing on participation of Sem Terra's youth in construction of MST. Second, we will reconstruct the history of the occupation of Tingui and Quissama's Farms based on the discourses and experiences of the young leadership. In these discourses we will look to understand how youth's identification with the MST occurs (occupations, publics manifestations, mystics, etc). In order to do that we will start with Stuart Hall's conception of identification and the process of class formation (and identification) of Thompson; for the concept of youth our references will be Bourdieau, Norbert Elias and Maria Jose Carneiro, among others; for MST we will use Gilmar Mauro and Joao Pedro Stedile understand on the matter.
