Brazilian activism, prefigurative practices and development: the case of “ocupas” in the state of São Paulo. Gerais, Rev. Interinst. Psicol. [online]. 2022, vol.15, n.2, e17976.  Epub 20-Jan-2025.

Between November 2015 and January 2016, students from the state of São Paulo occupied more than 200 public high schools facilities protesting against a plan to restructure the public school network. Working with distinct kinds of evidence, we provided a case study and used it to understand if, and in which sense, these activists insurrections are distinct from the traditional Brazilian militant protests. We conclude that prefigurative practices are a distinctive feature of these occupations and use the Transformative Activist Stance to stress the impact of these activities into the young activists’ development.
