Abstract
CARVALHO-SILVA, Hamilton Harley de and TOMIZAKI, Kimi. WOMEN IN STRUGGLE the educational dimensions of political engagement. Revista Teias [online]. 2020, vol.21, n.63, pp.466-473. Epub Feb 08, 2022. ISSN 1982-0305. https://doi.org/10.12957/teias.%y.56242.
The purpose of this article is to discuss the senses of the engagement of poor women in the struggle for access to decent housing, with a view to highlighting the educational dimension inherent to political militancy, which materializes in processes of resocialization and political socialization provoked by the very dynamics of political movements and which lead to the resignification, on the part of these militants, of their way of conceiving the world and its place in it. To carry out such a discussion, of a theoretical and methodological character, we will rely on the results of a research on the women's activism of the Movement of Homeless Workers (MTST) in the Metropolitan Region of São Paulo (RMSP), with a view to understanding political engagement from a procedural perspective, in which both the provisions related to the origin and social trajectory of the militants, as well as the effects of interpersonal ties and remuneration are considered and affective developed within the scope of militancy.
