[pt] A presente dissertação busca apresentar breves apontamentos para uma perspectiva neogramsciana da sociedade civil em tempos de globalização. Assim, após discorrer brevemente acerca das perspectivas neogramscianas da economia política global e dos conceitos de sociedade civil e globalização, serão explorados os impactos da globalização das relações sociais nos dois lados que se encontram em embate na sociedade civil. Serão apresentados também alguns dos dilemas enfrentados pela resistência progressista, como a questão da revolução passiva global e do aumento exponencial da coerção no âmbito mundial. Além disso, verse- á as transformações sofridas pelo par conceitual da sociedade civil - a sociedade política - e suas repercussões para os grupos sociais que atuam na sociedade civil. Por fim, será apresentada a importância e a necessidade de uma teoria crítica da economia política global para se pensar formas alternativas de globalização e o papel de Gramsci neste contexto. Ou seja, é exposta neste ponto a importância do legado gramsciano para se pensar não apenas a realidade social contemporânea mas também a sua transformação; daí a relevância de Gramsci também para os ativistas partícipes do movimento altermundialista - em outras palavras, são apresentadas as vantagens de se pensar a economia política global contemporânea a partir de uma perspectiva gramsciana. / [en] This dissertation aims to present some indications for a neogramscian perspective of the civil society in times of globalization. Therefore, after discuss briefly about the neogramscian perspectives of global political economy and the concepts of civil society and globalization, it will be explored the impacts of the globalization of the social relations in both sides that are in struggle in the civil society. It will be presented some of the dilemas facing by the progressive resistance, like the global passive revolution question and the exponential increase of the coertion in the global ambit. Also, it will be studied the transformations suffered by the conceptual pair of civil society - the political society - and their repercutions to the social groups that opetate in civil society. Finally, it will be presented the importance and the necessity of a global political economy critical theory in order to think alternative forms of globalization and the role of Gramsci in this context. In other words, in this point it is exposed the importance of gramscian legacy to think not only the contemporary social reality but also its transformation; this appoint to the reelvance of Gramsci also to the activist from the alterglobalist movement - in other words, there are presented the advantages of think the contemporary global political economy since a gramscian perspective.

Discourse has the power to organize thought—and therefore, to limit imagination. The purpose of this project is to trace the contours of climate change discourse constructed by transnational fossil fuel corporations, to make visible the ideological barriers it creates to imagining post-capitalist alternatives. It is undertaken in the context of a well-established urgency for global collaboration to halt, mitigate, and adapt to the social, economic, and ecological impacts of climate change, and takes as its point of departure the fundamental link between ecological degradation and the capitalist mode of production (with its accompanying imperatives of accumulation and profit), as well as the necessity of counter-hegemonic praxis to pursuing system-transformative change on the scale required for humanity to negotiate the looming crisis in a just and ecologically viable way. Conceptualizing popular media as a discursive battleground in which the voices of corporations (through the evolving mediums of advertisement) are privileged, I employ critical discourse analysis to explore the framing of climate change messages by five major transnational oil and gas corporations, toward developing an analytical framework for the burgeoning climate change movement grounded at the intersection of global corporate capitalism and ecological degradation. Climate change messages included images, videos, and narratives intended for public consumption which spoke to the source, resolution, and/or future of human-induced and climate-related ecological problems. These were drawn from corporate websites, blogs, Facebook and Twitter feeds, and YouTube channels over the course of 2016. As action research, I have undertaken this project with the explicit aim of empowering climate movements – of which I count myself a part – to imagine alternative futures. To contribute to this aim, I have created a media literacy toolkit that links corporate climate change messages with the interests they represent to make visible the dynamics of power that mobilize those interests. / Graduate

I highlight "since" because the very nature of the process led to the global connection with employees located at industrial units in foreigner countries of the same transnational company. Among several political players as well as in the academic world, there is the controversial issue about the importance of the union movement not only in Brazil, but also internationally. In other words, the main issue is about the effectiveness of international trade unionism in the presence of the capital hegemonic globalization. On one hand concerns if it is possible that this practice means an alternative to the hegemonic model, even being, nowadays, in an incipient stage. On the other hand if the international trade union perspective can contribute to the maintenance or new achievements of the workers. Such issues are strongly important, mainly in a world of intense and growing globalization of all sectors of society. There was an indication of positive responses to both questions above, suggesting that, despite the current worldwide crisis, involving the international trade union movement as well, is an feasible strategy and even essential to the worker. The methodology, besides the theoretical references, dealt with field research collecting primary data and interviews with the main protagonists of the international trajectory, which completes 30 years in 2014 / A presente dissertação analisa a experiência de organização sindical internacional a partir dos trabalhadores na Mercedes-Benz do Brasil na cidade de São Bernardo do Campo. Digo a partir , pois a própria natureza do processo levou à conexão global com os trabalhadores localizados em unidades de outros países da mesma transnacional. Há, entre os atores políticos mais diversos, bem como no mundo acadêmico, a controversa questão sobre a importância do movimento sindical não só no Brasil, mas também em nível internacional. Isto é, contesta-se a respeito da efetividade do sindicalismo internacional diante a globalização hegemônica do capital. Uma questão diz respeito se as práticas adotadas, mesmo que ainda incipientes, significam uma futura alternativa ao modelo hegemônico. Outra trata se a perspectiva internacional sindical em curso pode contribuir para a manutenção ou novas conquistas para os trabalhadores. Tais questões são vitais, especialmente em um mundo de intensa e ainda crescente globalização em todos os setores sociais. Evidenciou-se a indicação de respostas positivas às dúvidas acima, sugerindo que, não obstante a crise atual, também, do movimento sindical internacional, trata-se de uma estratégia exequível e mesmo indispensável ao trabalhador. A metodologia seguida, além das referências teóricas, lançou mão, basicamente, da pesquisa de campo por meio do estudo de fontes primárias e entrevistas junto aos principais protagonistas da trajetória internacional que em 2014 completa 30 anos

Social economy community development organizations (SECDOs) are social service organizations that provide poverty relief but do not necessarily inspire a counter-hegemonic antipoverty strategy against a neoliberal welfare state. Tension between providing human social services and engaging in advocacy is at the core of how SECDOs may be both complicit to as well as working against the neoliberalization of the welfare state. This study explores how SECDOs can nurture a new paradigm for community economic development organizations. Through a case study of a Canadian settlement house, the research demonstrates how transforming work may encourage a culture of organic intellectualism or, a culture of emancipatory consciousness-raising. By re-organizing workplace practices, such as working collaboratively, providing a hub for services and engaging in popular education, transformative SECDOs help provide the conditions for citizens to affect governance. The research theorizes how SECDOs may foster a culture of organic intellectualism to promote the transformative social economy.
