RESUMO

This study aims to answer the following question: How do Civil Society, historically embedded in the Portuguese colonialist heritage, kept, among other ways by the PAIGC authoritarianism, establish its political and institutional autonomy, in a context characterized by social and ethnical conflicts in the struggle for hegemony? This dissertation tried to identify the social representations that urban and rural organizations of Civil Society have about democracy. Traditionally, the theoreticalscientific knowledge analyses the notion of Civil Society in the context of occidental countries, referring to categories such as market, state and âformalâ associations of popular social movements. Rarely it reflects the Civil Society logic in historical contexts where there is a strong presence of ethnical and multicultural groups. For that reason, the articulation of a new concept of Civil Society, which takes up such groups, amplifies the debate for the understanding of new organizational and identitarian dynamics that are emerging in the contemporary world. The GuineaBissau case makes for another understanding about social and political representations that are (re)emerging within society, specially those found among Mandjuandade groups, a cultural, political and pedagogical expression movement that congregates different ethnicities and social groups. The presence of these groups makes possible the constitution of a nodal point of ethnical differences among shared demands that, at the same time, creates a governable equivalence, being respectful about of the autonomy of each ethnical group
