O princípio esperança e o movimento de multidão de 2013

Abstract

The purpose of this Master's thesis is to answer the following question: What is the importance of hope to mobilize and motivate individuals to manifest themselves on the streets of Porto Alegre in 2013? We seek to answer it in two ways. First, we mobilized the theoretical framework offered by Ernst Bloch establishing privileged dialogue with Axel Honneth and, from this, we produced a reflection about the importance of hope for the mobilization and motivation of the subjects involved in social movements, manifestations, collective actions, in summary, collective political actions with a view to changing the circumstances lived by the subjects, regardless of the size of the change demanded. Second, through photographic records of the multitude manifestations erupted on the streets of Porto Alegre in 2013, we sought to analyze in what ways the hope crystallized in the factual reality motivating the protesters, structuring the manifestations and generating impacts on the institutionality. To do this, we use the following Blochian concepts: expectant affections, diurnal dreams, concrete utopias, front and novum.
