The emergence of the subject in the social mobilization: times and spaces of being and acting

Abstract

Insurgent practices and social mobilizations are often read only from their impacts, proposals, legacies and productive structures, relegating political action to a merely utilitarian and corporate condition. However, the details of the emergence of the mobilized subjects and their subjectivities put in the spotlight reveal prospects that allow us to understand the conjunctural and socio-historical meanings of the mobilized and insurgent activity in time and space. In this essay, we seek to delay thinking about the constitution and substance of the subject that is mobilized, reflecting subjectivity, agency, potency and existential residues consubstantial with the sociopolitical performance and the social reality in constant contraction.
