The mobilization of the right by Social Movements

Dynamics of the radical policy of transformation and the space of the legally thinkable

Abstract

The article analyzes in a comparative way the dynamics of the mobilization of law in three social struggles that take place in Argentina, which seek to transform the unjust and unequal conditions of society. The article presents discussions of an empirical research conducted on the basis of a qualitative and quantitative methodology that reflects on the contributions and effective limits of the law: the struggle of peasant and indigenous, the struggle for sexual diversity and the struggle against police and institutional violence. The proposed objective is to problematize the space of transformation of the legally thinkable, inside and outside the legal field. Therefore, the presentation is divided into four sections, which in a comparative way, relates the political dynamics of protest and the mobilization of law in the three identified conflicts: the first, addresses the theoretical approach, the second, describes socio-legal conflicts, the third, analyzes the legal-political strategies of resistance, recognition and expansion of rights of the three social struggles.
