Na fronteira da ação coletiva: interações internas e construção de enquadramento no Fórum em Defesa da Previdência Social Pública em Imperatriz – MA

Abstract

This study aims to observe how, for the purpose of political action, through the construction of frameworks in defense of public social security, the Fórum em Defesa da Previdência Social Pública in the Frontier region, whose urban headquarters is the city of Imperatriz, Maranhão. For this purpose, the theory of Collective Action Interpretative Frames will be used for a collective analysis and the theory of frames to analyze the interaction between individuals. Based on the hypothesis that culture exists as a repository of means of action, I believe that the frontier region in Imperatriz is a place of encounters between alterities and a place of conflicts where the subjects interact and cross their trajectories during the construction of a framework in a organized collective. For the research, data were collected in the field during the acts of protests, images, videos and pamphlets; as well as documents produced internally at the Forum for authorities and minutes of meetings, in addition to direct observation of the interaction between the participants and semi-structured interviews with six more active participants in the perception of the researcher, during the follow-up of conversations in groups of messaging applications in the pandemic context.
