Micropolíticas das práticas cotidianas: etnografando uma organização circense

In this article, there is an analysis of how day-to-day practices can be understood as being based on a micropolitical dimension of organizational processes. The theoretical discussions combine the dialogue between Michel de Certeau and Michel Foucault in their studies of day-to-day practices with the opinions of Theodore Schatzki about organizations as designated spaces. On the basis of an ethnographical study conducted in a circus that has been in operation for 25 years, we discovered management practices that allowed cultural subjects/producers to emerge and networks that had been set up to link the circus with companies, as a result of the demand for artistic activities in the market. We also observed policy measures with regard to circus arts, in discussions about the way the shows were perceived by the public, and the formation of a circus school and projects of a social nature carried out by the circus. Finally, we examine their organizational day-to-day life, as a space for practices that constitute micropolicies, within the sphere of normative management procedures. keywords Everyday practices, organizational everyday life, micropolicies, ethnography, circus.

As Tramas Políticas Emocionais na Gênese de Processos Organizativos em uma Organização Circense

Objetivamos, neste artigo, analisar como as relacoes entre emocoes e trabalho se estabelecem como acao politica em uma organizacao circense localizada na cidade de Pelotas, Rio Grande do Sul. Articulamos teoricamente a abordagem contextualista de estudos das emocoes com a formacao de praticas organizativas no campo artistico a partir de uma pesquisa etnografica. Os resultados evidenciam mecanismos pelos quais as emocoes configuraram acoes de mobilizacao social na genese de organizacao do circo, alem de praticas organizativas no circo em estudo como efeitos de disputas politicas entre o circo, empresas e o poder publico da referida cidade.

Uma abordagem política das práticas cotidianas : um estudo etnográfico num circo

Objetivamos, neste artigo, discutir como as praticas cotidianas configuram-se numa dimensao politica nas logicas de acao dos sujeitos sociais nas organizacoes. Realizamos uma aproximacao teorica entre Michel de Certeau e Michel Foucault sobre o conceito de praticas, buscando bases filosoficas desse conceito as analises organizacionais. Circunscrevemos a pesquisa a uma organizacao circense, e a investigacao em campo foi realizada por meio da etnografia. Identificamos logicas de acao contraditorias entre os artistas, as quais foram incorporadas pela pesquisadora; implicacoes das praticas organizacionais na vida pessoal dos artistas; deslocamentos de representacoes instituidas na sociedade sobre os artistas circenses; e praticas organizacionais estabilizadas do circo tradicional, reconfiguradas nas atuacoes contemporâneas. O cotidiano organizacional e constituido por logicas de acao, as quais, apesar de, por vezes, nao confrontarem diretamente as praticas organizacionais, as contrapoem silenciosamente, porem, nao as destituindo de seus efeitos concretos ou subversivos, inclusive na vida pessoal dos artistas.
