Reductionist interpretations of the Green Revolution (GR) fail to consider its historical and geopolitical implications. The article revisits the multiple dimensions of the GR with the aim of providing a systemic and sociological perspective that complexifies the understanding of the phenomenon. We relate the first stage of the GR to the Fordist production model, the emergence of the welfare state in central countries and the stifling of peasant revolts in peripheral countries. We relate the second stage of the GR to the Toyotist production model and the transnationalization of capital. We point out that trends towards biotechnology and the corporate appropriation of local knowledge converge in the context of agriculture 4.0. We conclude that the agricultural sector follows the dynamics and power relations inherent in the capitalist system, which requires broadening the horizons of scientific analysis in order to propose realistic alternatives to this model.
This article consists of an analysis of the flexibility processes associated with the contemporary world of work. Based on a reflection on the relationship between male and female workers over time, this study proposes to reflect on flexibility both from the point of view of labor rights and from the ideological field, understanding flexibility in these two analytical keys, namely, the concrete pole that refers to workers’ experiences with contracts, working hours, salaries, etc. and the symbolic pole, which concerns representations built around the notion of flexibility, which seek to treat in a positive way and legitimize flexible models of work organization.
This article aims to understand how the concepts of public image, trust, and legitimacy have been operationalized in empirical research over the last ten years (2013-2023) on the Brazilian Judiciary. Specifically, the aim is to: a) identify the mobilization of the concepts; b) understand the position occupied (central or secondary) by concepts in these articles that deal with the area. For that, a systematic survey of the literature was carried out with subsequent content analysis of the results found. The results suggested little depth in the concepts of public image and trust, with legitimacy being the most central of the three. Even so, there was not a substantial number of studies that detailed the construction of the concepts, demonstrating a gap in studies in the area.
This article aims to identify the elements that most influenced the accusations for crimes of responsibility against presidents under the 1988 Constitution until 2018. The research problem enquires: what are the characteristics of the impeachment requests filed in Brazil against the presidents of the Republic elected under the 1988 Constitution until the year 2018? As all impeachment requests filed against elected presidents in the period were collected, their characteristics were divided into endogenous elements (identified in the analysis of accusations) and exogenous elements (verifiable from other sources). The general hypothesis is that impeachment requests are significantly related to the large protests against the government, the incidence of corruption scandals and oppositional strategies, which encourage actors to identify the President's actions as crimes of responsibility.
This article discusses hacktivism in Brazilian society. It theoretically explores the concept of hacktivism as a contemporary social phenomenon, highlighting the influence of hacker culture on political actions carried out in the virtual environment. The study is qualitative and exploratory in nature, structured through bibliographic and documental reviews, along with a multi-case analysis of hacktivist actions by Anonymous. The final considerations seek to contribute to reflections on hacktivism and contemporary collective actions, encouraging debates about the emergence of new forms of social mobilization and political resistance on the internet.
