Abstract

This thesis explores the way in which the poorest, and usually black, part of the population would deal with partisan politics at a time characterized by great transformations, as the changeover to a Republic system and the abolition of slavery. Based on Recife, the events that I intend to analyze took place in the midst of three subsequent movements marked by their great potential to promote large popular mobs, they are: the abolitionist movement, the republican movement, and the labor movement. Proposing an extended perspective of political participation, the present study seeks to demonstrate the existence of a multiple and diffuse political culture that overflowed the formal limits of the representative system. In this way, it is intended to open up alternative possibilities in the understanding of the relations between the political representatives and their represented, and of the social dynamics that structured the operation of politics itself (AU)
