| Abstract | |
This work presents as its main goal to debate the understanding of leadership in social movements. The analytical strategies was grounded in accordance with the following aspects: 1. Conception of leadership as multifaceted political relation filled by conflict; 2. Expansion of the theoretical perspective of what is leadership through the concept of intellectual present in the work of Antonio Gramsci; 3. Empirical reference in housing movement in São Paulo between 2008 and 2012; and 4. Exploratory use of multiple methodological resources. Considering the literature paucity devoted to the subject, the research is mainly devoted to empirical investigation and theoretical and methodological experimentation that could encompass the heterogeneity of the studied social movement, the different levels of militancy found, and the historical and complex relations between the housing movement in the city of São Paulo, the Partido dos Trabalhadores (PT), and the State. Among the methodological experimentations are participant observation, interpretation of data collected by survey, and social networks analysis. That latter method, in particular, allows observing more precisely the centrality's variations, and alliances that build the leadership relations network in housing movement in São Paulo. About the theoretical experiments, we highlight the conceptual parallels between the intellectual categories present in the work of Antonio Gramsci and the different faces of the leader's role. Is considered that Gramsci assigns a relational political and transformative role to intellectual activity analogous to the role of leadership built in social movements. Furthermore, the investigations herein contained concentrate its interests on leadership trajectories, common political experiences and relations that may fortify or weaken the social ties of the housing movement in São Paulo (AU) | |
