Políticas públicas de habitação: ações públicas solidariedades e construção de uma causa

Abstract

We intend to discuss public housing policies in São Luís-MA, focusing on aspects related to the historical context and its influence on the development of the necessary solidarities for the public action processes. For this we use the theoretical contributions of authors such as Durkheim (1989), Laville, França Filhos (2006), Gonçalves (2009) among others who helped us to understand the importance of associative processes in the construction of social causes. In this section, we seek to problematize the way in which the demands for housing can be understood both through contextual variables and the processes of integration and disintegration of individuals into collective causes. It is thus an attempt to think, among other things, in the dialogue between classical sociology and contemporary studies on social movements.
