The object of this thesis is the sociability networks that make up the bases of parliamentary support. We are interested here, at a first level, to understand the transition from the predominance of political practices based on the domain of electoral “corrals” transmitted as “feuds” and within a systemic parental and family logic, to a policy based on the composition of diverse and diverse networks. capable of forming and maintaining increasingly broad bases and distant from the traditional electorate of parliamentarians: hometown, district and / or region. This first level is structured in two moments: first, the organizing principles of the parliamentary classification system are analyzed, focusing on the reconstruction of the genesis of this way of doing politics, of the institutional and non-institutional framework and of the successive historical conformations of this segment of performance politics and; in a second step, we deal with the transformations that the parliamentary savoir-faire has undergone in Brazil, a practice that went from maintaining the power of representation based on families and relatives until the formation of groups linked by more extensive and diversified political networks. In this second moment, we demonstrate - from the case of Sergipe - how the transition from family-based policy to network policy took place, without, however, defending the end of the family and kin as a means of enlisting bases favorable to political disputes, but demonstrating the existence of a dynamic and multifaceted policy in which new arrangements allowed the entry of subjects without capital previously considered essential to the space of political disputes. In a second level, we seek to unveil the nature of these networks, observing how they are organized, what elements are constitutive of them, as well as the logic that supports them. In summary, in this last stage we demonstrate empirically how these networks are composed and how they are activated before, during and after the “time of politics” by the subjects who circumscribe the networks of sociability from federal deputies. The thesis that this research is about is that sociability networks are an important way of arriving and maintaining posts of political representation. This is because these networks support / structure the bases of parliamentary support, and it is possible to say that the political-electoral success of the parliamentarian is proportional to his ability to articulate his institutional bond with the voter, through the mediation of interests that involve people and institutions. These considerations place the parliamentarian within an extensive mediation network articulated at different levels, ranging from people who occupy institutional positions (mayors, councilors, state deputies), to people who occupy non-institutional positions (electoral cables, party leaders, union leaders), neighborhood leaders, associative leaders). This more general principle, which considers sociability networks as a fundamental step for the formation of political support bases and, as a rule, the possibility of success in electoral disputes, led us to a set of more general questions that lead to the central problem. of this thesis, which is to investigate the importance of networks for the success of federal deputies and the maintenance of their mandates? The federal deputies elected by Sergipe in the last five federal elections (2002, 2006, 2010, 2014 and 2018) will be considered as empirical universe. This would lead us to the coefficient of 40 parliamentarians, considering that the state of Sergipe has 08 seats in the Chamber of Federal Deputies. However, considering that some of these federal deputies were re-elected on one or more occasions in these elections, that number decreased to 25 deputies. To cope with this, different methodological strategies were adopted, among them. To account for this, we adopted a qualitative methodology, in which the data collected through participant observation and interviews form the main scope of analysis.
