Pedagogia da ocupação: formação nas lutas e resistências da Comuna 17 de abril em Fortaleza

Abstract

The Pedagogy of Occupation in the Commune April 17 in Fortaleza proposes to analyze the process of popular mobilization to the political organization in the movement of four hundred families in the struggle for land and housing. This occupation with a field-town organization was pioneered in Fortaleza at the São Jorge site, José Walter, from 2010 to 2014. The articulation between the Landless Workers Movement (MST), the Popular Councils Movement (MCP) and the Classification Unit, built the occupation in the glebe or urban latifundia, known as "lands of the Montenegros", of the Construtora e Imobiliária Montenegro, which revolutionized the 2000s in Fortaleza. The denomination Commune April 17 rescues the Massacre of Eldorado dos Carajás in the State of Pará on April 17, 1996, conquered as National Day of Struggle for Agrarian Reform. And in alliance with the rebellion and resistance of the socialism of the Paris Commune from March to May 1871. In this qualitative participatory social research founded on dialectical historical and dialectical materialism, I articulated militants of the MST, MCP, Classroom Unit and participants of the Occupation families, with whom I developed nine individual in-depth interviews and a press conference. The discussions revealed that the articulation of the countryside-city movement was strategic in the process of struggles and resistance that materialized in the conquest of the Residencial Cidade Jardim Fortaleza. The construction of the residential building on the same site as the occupation, a target area of real estate speculation, required mobilization and social formation to confront the perverse machinery of the financial capitalists, in charge of the public power and the criminal factions. The 17 April Communal Occupation confirms the centrality of human formation, the educational dimension of popular movements that moves the Occupation Pedagogy and gives meaning to the struggles and to the collective subjects. Conflicting occupation, fruit of planned civil disobedience, designed for the dream of urban family agrovilas became possible dwelling. Area of struggle for the knowledge of life for more life, more resistance and construction of other forms of popular organization. Commune April 17, people who defy fear and remember life, raise their heads and fight, face prejudice and contemporary socio-spatial segregation in a city called Fortaleza.
