The MTST and the power of ideology: analysis of the PodOcupá media

Abstract

This article analyzes the ideological project proposed by the MTST from the understanding of the economic and political determinants present in the pedagogical process of formation of the militancy of this social movement, through the analysis of the podcast media PodOcupá. The method of producing the primary data that was used was Content Analysis. Therefore, the analysis is based on the work of István Mészáros, notably from the elaboration of ideology as a practical dimension of social consciousness. It was identified that the economic system intended by this social movement has as an example the model of solidarity kitchens, it focuses on the category of work, with the proletariat as the organic agent of the movement. As political determinants, the project sought is that of participatory democracy based on the formation of popular power, that the internal mechanisms of representation aim to include everyone and that, above all, the existence of subjectivities as plurals is respected, since they are free identities worthy of self-representation. Furthermore, this study was sociologically and ethically justified based on the social importance of the production of new research that recognizes the social intervention plans elaborated by the social movements themselves as specific ideological projects and, therefore, resulting from concrete contradictions in social relations.
