Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Abstract This chapter identifies the core features specific to the Marxist approach to social movements—an emphasis on capitalism, totality, and class—and compares them to competing theoretical perspectives in the context of Latin American debates. Specifically, it distinguishes the Marxist approach to social movements from those theories rooted in identity and New Social Movements, on the one hand, and resource mobilization or political opportunity structures, on the other. It surveys the distinct ways that Latin American Marxism has theorized social movements over its different historical phases, from 1870 to the present. The decisive influence of Peruvian Marxist José Carlos Mariátegui, dependency theory, and Latin American receptions of the work of the Italian Marxist Antonio Gramsci are emphasized. In the most recent debates on Latin American social movements, Marxist contributions to the themes of territoriality, indigenous struggles, the commons, autonomy, and social movement–state relations are explained.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
