Brazil's Movimento de Trabalhadores Sem Teto (MTST, Homeless Workers' Movement) has grown dramatically in recent years. This growth was partly provided for by the use of a large government housing programme, Minha Casa Minha Vida (MCMV, My House My Life), which allowed the MTST to construct housing for its members and swell its ranks with thousands of new members. Yet some have argued that the MCMV programme used by the MTST may compromise the autonomy of civil society organisations. This article, by contrast, argues that while the MCMV programme encouraged bureaucratic practices, it also helped to promote the cultural politics of the MTST.

动员周边：巴西的“我的房子，我的生活”计划和无家可归的工人运动

近年来，巴西的特拉维哈多·德·特姆（Movimento de Trabalhadores Sem Teto）（MTST，无家可归者运动）增长迅速。这种增长的部分原因是通过使用大型政府住房计划Minha Casa Minha Vida（MCMV，我的家我的生活），该计划使MTST为其成员建造住房并通过成千上万的新成员来扩大自己的行列。但是，有些人认为，MTST使用的MCMV程序可能会损害民间社会组织的自治权。相比之下，本文认为，尽管MCMV计划鼓励官僚作风，但它也有助于促进MTST的文化政治。
