The life history of a Brazilian woman demonstrates that as individuals travel through state institutions and civil society organizations (CSOs), they carry conflicting worldviews with them which bear on the practices of CSOs. With Gramsci we recognize civil society as a space where movements and the state struggle for hegemony; beyond him we conceptualize CSOs as contradictory, being simultaneously of and against the state, while the state is simultaneously outside and within them.

Para algunos esto es una conquista, y para otros es una amenaza. En este estudio se analiza cómo participa la ciudadanía en el Mercosur, identificando potencialidades y debilidades. Finalmente se presenta una serie de propuestas para fortalecer la participación ciudadana a nivel regional en función de ciertos escenarios posibles

other organisations of peasants in general and women agricultural workers in particular - Landless Workers’ Movement
(Movimento dos Trabalhadores Rurais Sem Terra - MST), Via Campesina, Movement of People Afected by Dams (Movimento dos Atingidos
por Barragens - MAB), Rural Women’s Movement (Movimento das Mulheres Camponesas - MMC).
We lay out the societal ‘grammars’ with which our protagonists grew up: the Brazilian dictatorship, the limited power of progressive
governments to tackle the unjust distribution of land, the poverty of small
farmers and landless workers, including gendered relations of power in society at large, and Liberation Theology as a belief system that linked religiosity with a legitimation of resistance. Presenting exemplary (Flyvbjerg 2006) life stories of environmentally engaged leaders helps us to understand how individuals translate these societal ‘grammars’ into personal motivations for actions.
