RESUMO

In a world permeated by the global/local confrontation and by the multiplicity of manifestations of collective action, this study proposes a reformulation of the collective action model of analysis situating collective action simultaneously in the economic, political and cultural spheres and taking it to understand both a process of social interaction of social construction. The study confronts the principal approaches which orient contemporary debate on collective action. Such an analysis has implications beyond its thematic by relating collective action to the process of the permanent reinvention of society and sociology. Collective action is a field of similarities and differences, mediated by discourse, where becoming potential or effective participants in the struggle for hegemony, actions can be in agreement or in manifest antagonism. The model is tested in a study of four âpeopleâs health groupsâ; collective actors inserted in a process of fixation of meanings in the field of health rights. Group analysis reveals choices in a context in which new discourses are articulated, redirectioning orientations objectives and trajectories. The result demonstrates the independence of choices, and the dependence of networks of relations for the constitution and affirmation of identities. It is in the field of these relations which collective actors assume positions in terms of rights. The analysis demonstrates the potential of the model as an alternative approach to collective action
