Resumen
GONDIM, Linda M. P. Social movements in contemporary Brazil: the invisible face of the June 2013 protests. Polis [online]. 2016, vol.15, n.44, pp.357-379. ISSN 0718-6568. http://dx.doi.org/10.4067/S0718-65682016000200016.
This article analyses protests that came out in hundreds of Brazilian cities in June 2013. They burst after brutal repression against demonstrations, after the rise of public transportation fares in São Paulo. Protests spread was caused, principally, by dissatisfaction with institutional politics, corruption and scarcity of public investments in education and health, in contrast to investments in sports events that would take place in Brazil (the 2013 Soccer Confederation Cup, the 2014 Soccer World Cup and others). The papers’ argument is that the spontaneous genesis of the June Journeys has been overestimated, since previous social movements had active participation in them. These movements’s actions were neither massive nor broadly publicized (Free Fare Movement, 2014 Soccer World Cup Popular Committees, and others). Like the June Journeys, their participants had heterogeneous platforms and participants. In both cases, there were no formal centers of command, and their articulation was made possible by internet.
