Abstract

How do grassroots social movements respond to shifting perceptions within their bases on key issues? This article centres its analysis on the Movimento dos Trabalhadores Rurais Sem Terra (MST ? Landless Rural Workers? Movement) and instances of the movement?s cultural activity, in particular, mística. It is recognised that the MST?s cultural activity reflects a deep engagement with cultural politics, and further, that the movement?s culture sector contributes directly to the delineation and formation of the ?landless? identity. However, from an ethnographic perspective and privileging the experiences of the members of the movement, this article goes beyond cultural politics to suggest that shifting notions of individualism, in the context of the movement?s cultural activity, are having an impact on MST artistic expression and members? daily lives. The article argues that from within the bases of the movement, there has been a shift from what can be termed a receptive individualism, where members internalise cultural activity, to an expressive individualism, where members actively seek to shape the movement?s cultural programmes. Members speak of a lack of visceral energy that the culture sector?s activities used to possess, which provides the impetus for the article?s concluding remarks on how social movements respond to transformation more widely.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
