This paper focuses in transformation of Portuguese society throughout the analysis of social movements. Social movements in Portugal were changing as the evolution of society. Throughout the ages, according to circumstances of each historical period protest as changing. in the early nineteenth century, the transition from the Old Regime to Liberalism sparked riots. The protests were dominated by the peasants, motivated by the introduction of liberalism and capitalism, which have transformed the traditional way of living. The late nineteenth and early twenty centuries brought the claim of the labor movement and unionism with the consequent organization of social events, such as strikes. The industrialization of the country created a great social inequality between the factory owners and workers, the latter living in precarious conditions which led to revolt. Between 1933 and 1974 the Portuguese dictatorship dominated the political system but even the social repression prevented the existence of strikes and demonstrations due to hunger. After 1974, the country resumes freedom but political and social democratization brought much dispute motivated by the opening of society to the global world.

Social Documentary

The book’s conclusion summarises the key paradigms of contemporary slum representation on screen and relates them to their historical predecessors – a strategy that reverses the chronological approach applied throughout the book. It then looks at Susan Sontag’s assessment of social documentary photography as a form of social voyeurism, or ‘slumming’ through cameras, as well as to the changing notions of documentary and realism by interrogating what role cameras together with still or moving images play in our digital era today. The author concludes with a final argument which is that our ‘planet of slums’ has, for better or worse, become a hypermediated topos, an ‘archaeological’ media site of global dimensions, to which many filmmakers of the digital era respond in a palimpsestic way, re-writing or remediating our cities’ stored stories and images in sometimes highly imaginative, sometimes provocative ways. These filmmakers are not necessarily (re)turning to slums in order to look voyeuristically at the world’s ‘Other Half’ with fascination, pity or disgust, and neither with a reformist or socialist agenda in mind, but rather, the author agues, to challenge our ways of looking at life on our planet of slums.

Dorothea Lange

Photographers focusing on California farmworkers are often described as heirs to a tradition that emerged midway through the Great Depression, mainly from the heroic efforts of one iconic photographer, Dorothea Lange. By calling attention to a diverse group of underappreciated antecedents who have never been linked together, this article presents a more sequential, less tidy account of how social documentary photography focused on farmworkers in the Golden State in the years before Lange moved out of her studio into the countryside. Without ever referring to their work as social documentary photography, these photographers, largely on their own and with little knowledge of one another, broke with standard commercial practices, turned a probing eye on the fields, recorded history as it unfolded, and created a visually stunning, realistic,often uncomfortable body of work.

Resource Mobilisation

This paper investigates the highly mediatised mobilisation of the urban middle class in Delhi, India, against two social events, the anti-corruption movement in 2011 and the movement against sexual violence in 2013. It uses the perspective of resource mobilisation theory and, more specifically, the resource typology for social movements for a systematic and comparative analysis of middle-class mobilisation. The inclusion of a category of institutional resources is proposed, because of the important role played by judicial institutions to frame demands for change in both instances. Findings from this investigation reveal that the urban middle class in Delhi has approached these two movements using similar cultural, human and institutional resources, but it has significantly diverged in its usage of social-organisational resources. This study contributes to the ongoing discussions about the potential new role of the diverse urban middle class in Indian politics beyond electoral processes.
