SUMMARY:

This dissertation investigates how the Movimento das Trabalhadoras e dos Trabalhadores por Direitos (MTD) - Movement of Women and Men Workers for Rights - mobilizes and adapts its strategies of struggle in the territory of Sol Nascente, in the Federal District of Brazil, and how these practices contribute to the construction and defense of rights in contexts marked by urban exclusion and structural inequalities. The research is grounded in the critical framework of Direito Achado na Rua (Law Found on the Street), articulating it with Karel Kosík’s dialectics of the concrete, Freirean pedagogy, and social movement theories, aiming to understand law as an insurgent social practice forged in the collective experiences of urban peripheries.

To grasp this insurgent praxis, the study begins with an analysis of the Sol Nascente territory, whose contradictions expose forms of spatial segregation, urban precariousness, and structural violence that shape life on the margins of the Federal District. Despite being marked by historical inequalities, the territory reveals a daily praxis of resistance, in which residents collectively build ways to confront exclusion. Through direct observation, interviews, and document analysis, the research identified initiatives such as mutirões (collective efforts), solidarity networks, bioconstruction practices, and grassroots mobilizations that reconfigure the sense of belonging and the very exercise of the right to the city.

The empirical fieldwork was conducted in Trecho III of Sol Nascente, one of the largest favelas in Latin America, where the MTD operates through community kitchens, cultural activities, workshops, and political education. These experiences update historical repertoires of popular struggle, disputing meanings of justice and building community bonds. The practices of the MTD reveal a continuous reinvention of law, grounded in belonging, solidarity, and self-management, in which law is not only claimed but produced as a living, collective, and insurgent practice.
