Transnational social movements have emerged in a long historical process. These movements have created a distinct social space, in which, there is a series of symbolic strings, organization forms and articulation mechanisms which have made them to establish as subjects of social change in an each time more interconnected world. However, these movements have entered, supposedly, in a waning process. How emerge and create these social movements? Which are the possibilities of these movements to continue or establish long term as social transformation subjects in international space? These two questions guide this research. The paper ends recognizing the importance of these movements in denouncing and evidencing contemporary capitalism contradictions.ransnational social movements have emerged in a long historical process.

Estos movimientos han creado un espacio social distinto, en el cual han establecido una serie de lazos simbólicos, formas de organización y mecanismos de articulación que les han permitido plantearse como sujetos de cambio social en un mundo cada vez más interconectado. No obstante, estos movimientos han entrado, supuestamente, en un proceso de languidecimiento. ¿Cómo han surgido y qué crean estos movimientos sociales? ¿Cuáles son las posibilidades de estos movimientos de continuar o plantearse a largo plazo como sujetos de transformación social en el espacio internacional? Son las dos preguntas que guían esta investigación. El documento termina reconociendo la importancia de estos movimientos en la denuncia y puesta evidencia de las contradicciones del capitalismo contemporáneo.Os movimentos sociais transnacionais são fruto de um processo histórico prolongado. Esses movimentos têm possibilitado a criação de espaços sociais diferentes em que surgem laços simbólicos, formas organizacionais e mecanismos de articulação que lhes permitem transformar-se em sujeitos de mudança social em um mundo cada vez mais interconectado. No entanto, supostamente, têm alcançado um estado de elanguescimento. Como surgem e que produzem esses movimentos sociais? Quais são as possibilidades desses movimentos continuarem e serem sujeitos de transformação social ao longo prazo no ambiente internacional? Estas duas perguntas guiam esta pesquisa. Ao final, o documento reconhece a importância desses movimentos na denuncia das contradições do capitalismo atual.
