Abstract

With the aim of filling a bibliographical gap, the ongoing postdoctoral research in the country on the biographical consequences of militant engagement of the Brazilian generation of 1968 is primarily based on the theoretical reflections of the sociology of activism. With deep roots in French sociology, this approach, still emerging in Brazil, has introduced new angles and perspectives for understanding militant activity, especially through the prism of militant subjectivities. Through its authors, this perspective has highlighted other aspects of political activism, particularly the biographical consequences of both engagement and disengagement. This project, which aims for a research stay in France, seeks to establish academic networks aligned with this theoretical approach and engage in dialogue with recent studies in this field. This theoretical and methodological exchange will contribute not only to the development of the ongoing project in Brazil but also to the dissemination and strengthening of this approach in national research on militant activities.
