SUMMARY:

In the evolution of the Brazilian social structure, social mobility is short term, while social and racial inequalities are long term, forming a pattern of maintaining inequalities between social groups and classes as the country's main structural feature. From a relational perspective, historical social mobility does not alter the relative distance between social classes and groups, but rather has a translational effect. However, between 2003 and 2011, in particular, a new pattern of social mobility emerged, based on a confluence of political (state public policies) and economic (capital's productive restructuring) factors that mainly affected the base of the social pyramid, generating not only an impact on reducing social inequalities, but also an upward movement in Brazil's social class structure. These changes in the social structure have led to "classification struggles" to explain and understand them. Classification, according to Bourdieu, consists of an often forgotten dimension of the class struggle, a symbolic struggle for the formation of perception that not only verifies, but creates realities (symbolic power), with the truth of the social world entering into a game of political struggles to modify the schemes of perception - the control of the visible and the symbolic maintenance of the invisible - what we call here, in Bourdieu's dialogue with Marxism and psychoanalysis, the socio-analysis of perception. In this way, this doctoral thesis aims to analyze the changes in the Brazilian social structure in recent decades, which have led to the social mobility of classes and fractions of classes from poverty, structuring "intermediate groups" between the vast majority of the population and the middle class. It was a phenomenon of the emergence of a new class in the Brazilian social structure, which was accompanied by a reduction in social and economic inequalities that had remained almost unchanged over the last three decades. In this context, the thesis proposed here aims to analyze this change in the Brazilian social structure from the point of view of a sociology of historical reconstruction, as Florestan Fernandes advocates (to reveal the dynamism of boiling structures and get to the bottom of reality), combined with quantitative data on recent changes in the Brazilian social structure and qualitative research on the contemporary dynamics of social classes, the "Radiography of Modern Brazil", in which I participated as a field researcher, within the scope of Ipea. The aim is to analyze the social changes and continuities that have occurred in the upward fractions of the battling class transfuges (hysteresis effect in relation to the social class position of origin) and the political effects of their symbolic struggle for classification.
