La Vía Campesina is an international network of peasant farmers that, since 1996, has promoted the concept of food sovereignty. More recently, this collection of over 160 groups worldwide has been connecting this concept with climate justice issues. Drawing on interviews conducted during the 2012 People’s Summit that took place in Rio de Janeiro, and an analysis of the network’s documents, I consider its work in relation to its member organizations and a broader movement tackling the systemic issues that are driving a range of social, economic and ecological crises. I contend that, while many of Vía Campesina’s proposals will require the establishment of intricate processes and systems depending on the geographic, political and cultural context in question, the network is demonstrating that its radical critiques, proposals and decision-making processes may help contribute to a larger counter-hegemonic narrative as a force to counteract global capitalism.

This is a study of a German peasant pressure group of the 1920s. It is intended as a contribution to the debate about the role of the agrarian interest in the development of modern German politics. Its geographical scope is primarily the Bavarian Palatinate, but attention is also given to broader areas of the Rhineland and Bavaria. It is hoped too that light is cast upon issues common to large parts of Germany. The Free Peasantry (Freie Bauernschaft) developed a new concept of peasant trade unionism, which it hoped would assert peasant interests against those of industrial labour. Taking hold in small-farm areas of western and southern Germany, it lasted only from its foundation on the Lower Rhine in 1919 to its dissolution in the Saar territory in 1934, and for the even shorter period of 1920-29 in the Palatinate itself. In the Palatinate, however, it had a huge impact, launching agricultural delivery strikes against the postwar controlled economy and in 1923 providing the leader of most successful of the Rhenish separatist Putsche. The thesis places the Free Peasantry in the context of agrarian organisation and protest from the foundation of the Agrarian League (Bund der Landwirte) to the first year of National Socialist rule. These years saw the growth and then the disintegration of the freely organised peasant interest. Emphasis is placed on the agricultural economy, particularly during the inflation and the depression, and the central question posed is how the peasantry tried to find a satisfactory representation of its interests during these years of economic turmoil. The main sources were official papers in the Bavarian and Rhineland archives, the newspapers of the peasant associations, and the author's interview with the former chairman of the Free Peasantry.

A instala??o de uma obra de grande porte, como a Irap?, considerada uma das maiores hidrel?tricas do Brasil, ocupa uma ?rea de grande propor??o e promoveu o deslocamento de muitas fam?lias, a maioria composta por camponeses. Dessa forma, muitas pessoas foram realocadas em outros lugares. Procura-se, ent?o, analisar como os ?atingidos? pela Irap? e reassentados no Alto Jequitinhonha estabelecem novas rela??es com o territ?rio e recriam um sentido de pertencimento nesse territ?rio. Essa an?lise ?, assim, direcionada ?s a??es e pr?ticas criadas pelos reassentados no novo lugar em que se encontram. As conclus?es referentes a este trabalham revelam que ocorreram mudan?as nos modos de vida dos atingidos, provocadas pela instala??o da hidrel?trica e que, os processos socioculturais dos reassentados n?o ser?o novamente reproduzidos no atual territ?rio em que se encontram. / Disserta??o (Mestrado Profissional) ?

The installation of a large-scale works such as Irap?, considered one of the largest hydroelectric dams in Brazil, covers an area of great proportion and promoted the displacement of many families, mostly composed of peasants. Thus, many people were relocated elsewhere. Wanted then how to analyze the "hit" by Irap? and resettled in Alto Jequitinhonha establish new relations with the territory and recreate a sense of belonging in that territory. This analysis is thus directed to the actions and practices created by resettled in the new place they are in. The findings of this work show that changes occurred in the affected livelihoods caused by the installation of the dam and that the sociocultural processes of resettled will not be played again in the current territory in which they are.

Compreendemos esse trabalho como parte da história nacional do PCB que precisa buscar as experiências ocorridas fora do sudeste do país para ser construída. Essa pesquisa utilizou-se de fontes da repressão, notadamente os inquéritos policiais que deram origem aos processos do Tribunal de Segurança Nacional depositados no Arquivo Nacional- RJ, assim como fontes do PCB consultadas através dos microfilmes da Internacional Comunista disponíveis para pesquisa no Centro de Documentação e Memória (CEDEM-UNESP). Além dessas fontes, utilizamos jornais do PCB – A Classe Operária – e jornais da grande imprensa. A discussão proposta compreende que a História de um partido é também a História da sociedade em que ele está inserido, portanto tentamos estabelecer relações entre as elaborações ideológicas do PCB, suas ações em âmbito nacional, o contexto socioeconômico regional e as atividades dos comunistas no eixo Ilhéus - Itabuna. / Salvador
