Política e Sindicalismo Rural: considerações sobre ajudas, liberação de voto, tempo e trocas de apoio na Terra Onde os Pássaros Cantam

Abstract

This paper tried to analyze the representations, perceptions and definitions about the political and rural union practices in a small town in the state of Ceará, Aracoiaba. I developed the research from taking some native categories used to classify the relationship between politicians, voters, union members and associates. I performed this work under the native researcher condition, looking also discuss this, since I find myself, somehow implicated in the midst of local relations. In the survey, I could see a place permeated times, both in politics and in the union, which are often associated with activities marking certain practices. Also I tried to map the places moral and analyze reputations as a way to introduce the municipality, but also to show the interrelationship between rural and urban. Finally, I tried to make analyzes of the notions of "help" and "free to vote." I realized that they help to understand the politics and trade unionism beyond the classical conception of patronage, which also brings with it a normative dimension, does not capture the meanings present around certain practices, relationships and exchanges of political and union support that happen in different "times", showing the complexity that permeates the adhesions and the possibility of unification of the vote in political groups.
