Democracia e desigualdade

Carlos Machado, Danusa Marques, Francisco Mata Machado Tavares, Thiago Trindade

The texts published here deal with, from an alternative perspective, central (but usually left out) issues in the debate on democracy: arguments are placed that essentially incorporate criticism of material and symbolic inequalities; to the rational-liberal normative ideal; and to the body and the lived experience. The publication of part of the discussions of the event aims to make us as a research area, to rethink our production, to reframe our problems, to dialogue with diverse perspectives and, mainly, to advance in the construction of a multifaceted and complex social science. Much of the debate goes through this (self) important shift: what social science do we develop? What kind of scientific knowledge are we producing? How is democratic critique analyzing social and political inequalities?
