Resumen

TAVARES, Gilead Marchezi; SILVA, Gustavo Roberto da  y  CAPELINI, Thalita Calmon. Occupy Everything!: an analysis of social protests around the world occurred in 2011 - their political backgrounds and instrumentalization modes. Rev. psicol. polít. [online]. 2014, vol.14, n.30, pp. 243-261. ISSN 1519-549X.

We have watched during the year of 2011 several social protests distributed around the world which can be thought as social movements protesting against the exclusionary picture in which Human Rights are today. This paper proposes to present some analysis undertaken after the investigation of the 2011 protests, attempting to elucidate the political backgrounds upon which they nucleated and instrumentalized. The investigated social protests were: Occupy Wall Street; Occupy London; Arab Spring; and the Brazilian Freedom Marches. The scientific investigation was undertaken through documental research. The researched sources were digital archives of news media: Carta Capital, Caros Amigos, Le Monde Diplomatique, and The New York Times. It was considered that the 2011 protests constitute new scenery in the struggle for assurance of Human Rights, for they differentiate themselves in several aspects from the organization patterns of the movements occurred in the twentieth century. Without political parties, without leadership, solidary, the protests forged facts that caused certain shifts in social participation as opposed to the current social organization and thus produced a new political scene.
