BAIMA, Larissa Soares  and  GUZZO, Raquel Souza Lobo. Community development and participation: consensus organization and bourgeois hegemony in Brazil. Psicol. pesq. [online]. 2021, vol.15, n.2, pp. 1-23. ISSN 1982-1247.  http://dx.doi.org/10.34019/1982-1247.2021.v15.30255.

This article aims to make a theoretical evaluation of the possible functionality of a community work model in Psychology for the construction of a passive form of consensus within the set of transformations that occurred in Brazil during the recent governments of the Workers' Party. This model consists in the community development one, and the evaluation object is the conception of participation apprehended from it, approached from Gramsci's (1891-1937) theoretical contributions on the State and on the notion of passive revolution. Analyzed from these conceptual keys, this conception of participation does not seem to break, in its fundamentals, with the conception of participation of the models to which community development is proposed as an alternative. And, in its functionality in the set of transformations operated in the Worker's Party governments, it may have contributed to the organization of forms of passive consensus and, consequently, to the hegemony of fractions of the bourgeois class in Brazil.

Keywords : Community development; Community psychology; Participation; Passive revolution; Civil society.
