1. Provide knowledge to deepen the interpretation of poverty and social disqualification as a complex and diverse social and cultural phenomenon.
2. Contribute to the construction of a theoretical synthesis that enhances the construction of theoretical hypotheses about the social, cultural and psychological mechanisms that participate in the production of poverty and social exclusion and substantiate the construction of operational hypotheses that can guide social intervention in this field.
1. Poverty/social exclusion: historical approach
2. Traditions of approach to poverty: potentialities and limits
2.1. Socio-economic tradition: absolute poverty and relative poverty
2.2 Culturalist tradition
2.3 Typology of poverty modalities: integrated, marginal and disqualifying
3. Dimensions of social exclusion
3.1 Economic, relational/social and symbolic exclusion
3.2 The process of social detachment
4. Factors, categories and ways of life of poverty
4.1 Main socio-economic factors explaining the (re)production of poverty in Portugal.
4.2 Main social categories vulnerable to poverty in Portugal.
4.3 Cultural and identity responses to deprivation:
4.3.1. The concept of livelihood and the livelihoods of poverty
4.3.2. Mobilizable identity strategies to face the experience of social disqualification: the fragile, the assisted and the marginal
5. Poverty and territory: the inscription of social inequalities in space and the production of socialization contexts that generate cultural, relational and symbolic vulnerability
The phenomena of poverty and social exclusion are multidimensional and result from complex processes. Breaking with individualistic, naturalistic, and ethnocentric views on the problem of poverty, and understanding that poverty results from the accumulation of interdependent inequalities (relations between economic, cultural, social, and symbolic deprivation), is fundamental for the practice of social interventionists not to focus on intervention strategies that are merely assistentialist and reproduce social problems.
The processes of social intervention with children and young people at risk of social exclusion presuppose overcoming the dichotomous visions that oppose structural approaches to poverty (highlighting the social-organizational processes that produce poverty) to culturalist and interactionist approaches.

The course has a theoretical and applied nature, so classes are scheduled in more expository sessions for explanation of the main programmatic content articulating the theoretical exposition of the themes with empirical illustration and participation of students in their discussion; viewing of films and documentaries focused on explanatory factors of (re)production of situations of poverty and social exclusion; and sessions streamlined by the students through the presentation of papers on the issues in question.
