Hannah Arendt and the popular riots in Brazil and Venezuela: reviewing of concepts and phenomenological comprehension

Abstract

This article correlates the studies of Hannah Arendt to popular manifestations in Brazil and Venezuela between the years 2013 and 2014. The objective is to seek theoretical subsidies for reflection based upon the symbol of understanding: one objective relates to the theoretical hypothesis that the power has undergone major changes in the direction of its degeneration and, the other relates to the practical aspect, through economic variables inherent in human development that reflect the role of the economy in the context here examined. The phenomenological understanding of demonstrations allows the interpreter-citizen the ability to have himself as power agent.
