CULTURA, CULTURA POLÍTICA E PARTICIPAÇÃO POLÍTICA: CONCEITOS E CONCEPÇÕES NO DEBATE SOBRE OS MOVIMENTOS SOCIAIS ARGENTINOS PÓS-2001

Abstract

The article aims at suggesting a dialogue between some theoretical concepts often used on Latin-American political participation and social movement literature, namely: political project, political culture, hybridism and frame. Taking into account the theoretical debate on political culture and democracy in Latin America weanalyze three social movements emerged in Argentine in the 90’s and the beginning of the XXI Century. After discussing some of the characteristics of these social movements we argue that such movements represent an innovation to the meaning of political participation and democracy and that this innovation allows us toquestion, to some extent, what has been generally treated by the literature as the Latin-American traditional political culture.
