VINADE, Thaiani Farias  and  GUARESCHI, Pedrinho Arcides. Activism possibilities in contemporary liquidiness. Rev. psicol. polít. [online]. 2007, vol.7, n.14. ISSN 2175-1390.

Day by day, multiple organizations (social movements, collectivity, groups, etc.) are created in an attempt to fight, through different number of reasons, for possibilities of being in (and belonging to) this world. On this track, this study suggests to problematize activism in the contemporary world through the comprehension of the liquidness of institutions and relationships in present day experience. For that matter we dedicate ourselves at discussing our present conditions of existence diluted in this social fluidity in which we live, trying to think on the possibilities of inter-relationships grounded in this context. After words, we do a social-historical rescue of activism, trying to identify the different forms it had undertaken throughout history, inside the social activity movements. Finally, we propose the debate about the activism possibilities in this fluid, fast liquidness of contemporary world, evaluating and questioning some active and potentially subversive strategies in the contemporanety.
