Abstract
Abstract From anti-debt movements in Mexico, Spain, Poland, Croatia, and Chile to the Occupy movements in the United States, Israel and Canada, organizations repudiating both debt and the centrality of financial markets have proliferated worldwide. In this article, I draw on Polanyi’s work in order to frame the financialization of society and different forms of debt repudiation as a double movement, characterized as a second wave of the commodification of money and the attempts by society to protect itself from the advancement of finance. Relying on a secondary literature and my own ethnographic research on debtors’ movements, I explore the commonalities and differences between diverse forms of repudiating debt through collective action at both national and international level.
期刊介绍:
Sociologia & Antropologia busca contribuir para a divulgação, expansão e aprimoramento do conhecimento sociológico e antropológico em seus diversos campos temáticos e perspectivas teóricas, valorizando a troca profícua entre as distintas tradições teóricas que configuram as duas disciplinas. Sociologia & Antropologia almeja, portanto, a colaboração, a um só tempo crítica e compreensiva, entre as perspectivas sociológica e antropológica, favorecendo a comunicação dinâmica e o debate sobre questões teóricas, empíricas, históricas e analíticas cruciais. Reconhecendo a natureza pluriparadigmática do conhecimento social, a Revista valoriza assim as oportunidades de intercâmbio entre pontos de vista convergentes e divergentes nesses diferentes campos do conhecimento. Essa é a proposta expressa pelo símbolo “&”, que, no título da revista Sociologia & Antropologia, interliga as denominações das disciplinas que nos referenciam. Sociologia & Antropologia aceita os seguintes tipos de contribuição: 1) Artigos inéditos (até 9 mil palavras incluindo referências bibliográficas e notas) 2) Registros de pesquisa (até 4.400 palavras).
