Um outro mundo é possível? Do fim da história a outros sentidos possíveis

Abstract

Under the theoretical perspective of Discourse Analysis from French source, we accomplished an analysis of the World Social Forum slogan: Another World is Possible, and the lyrics of Tom Zé s song: Unimultiplicidade (Unimultiplicity). The World Social Forum is an event which searches the mobilization and articulation of many social movements, NGO, activists and civil entities through conversation and debate. The event proposal is to construct in group a viable alternative to neoliberal capitalism. The question we propose is to know the way this happening inscribes itself in the political memory of nowadays upon the aspect of political occurrences from 1989 to 2001. Is the polemic between the Right Wing and the Opposition updated by the declaration of another possible world? What Opposition is that mobilized by WSF slogan? Does the heterogeneity of the early Oppositions not appear as a question in the neologism Unimultiplicidade (Unimultiplicity) title of the song Tom Zé made especially for the event of WSF? In addiction, is Althusser s assertion that the fusion of both historical materialism with worker movement the biggest occurrence of Modern History a still valid matter in relation to social movements in the 21st century? What is being a Marxist today? What is the function of an analyst before the social movements of nowadays? These are the main questions we are going to approach in the present study.
