Abstract

The Seattle demonstrations in 1998 are the starting point of the initiatives related to globalization. The exposition of the issues under discussion do not only involve collective initiatives calling for a different  globalization, but the assertation of subjectivity as a key process. In this sense, resistence is constructed through the affirmation of subjectivity of the agents concerned in a struggle against an imposed rationality. These affirmations of subjectivity are articulated towards the so-called "circuits of communicative understanding" which allow the agents' involvement in collective action ant the proposal of alternatives to globalisation.
