Description
Summary:The exchange of information, the mobility of participants of the occupation of lands, as well as alliances and exchanges between camping, settlers, activists and local political authorities are fundamental in the social world of land occupation. Particularly during the process experienced by participants that occupied the land and established a “black canvas camping” organized by the Landless workers Movement (MST). It is through ethnographic survey of the mobilization organized in the extreme south of Bahia, in Brazil, that I analyze the existence of a particular language - sometimes restricted and sometimes socialized- as part of a specific circuit of transmission of information. This circuit is part of the social mechanisms that allow the daily production of a collective language for social demand and social distinction.<br /><br />
