A práxis da resistência e a hegemonia da organização

Este texto tem dois objetivos: o primeiro e prosseguir em um esforco coletivo de enfrentamento dos procedimentos de exclusao que marcam o campo dos estudos organizacionais. Ao tomar como tema de pesquisa os movimentos sociais, assumimos os riscos de ‘rechaco’ e ‘isolamento’, constantemente rememorados pelo ‘silencio da razao’. O segundo proposito e contribuir para tornar visivel parte da multiplicidade de mundos organizacionais negada pela hegemonia da organizacao. O termo hegemonia se refere, aqui, a um alinhamento do discurso politico que produz um significado social especifico: a definicao de organizacao a partir de um enfoque sistemico estrutural como objeto formalizado. Para que possamos nos envolver nessa tarefa, precisamos nos expor a outras possibilidades: tanto aquelas ja presentes em nosso campo disciplinar e que adotam uma abordagem processual do organizar, quanto por fertilizacao a partir do engajamento com outros campos disciplinares. Nesse sentido, fazemos uma breve revisao teorica sobre o tema da resistencia no que se refere a apropriacao do conhecimento, e registramos algumas producoes feitas por academicos ativistas ou por ativistas sem insercao na academia, ambos construindo conhecimento na sua praxis de intelectuais orgânicos.

Bloch, Gramsci e Paulo Freire: referências fundamentais para os atos da denúncia e do anúncio

The appropriation and relations of Ernst Bloch, Antonio Gramsci and Paulo Freires texts is an important part of the reflections shared in our collective work, which has as study subject organization and the praxis of liberation. In this article we present our situated readings of these authors, followed by an exercise of building relations among them. Reality as a historical process and the liberation of human beings from oppressive conditions (material and intellectual) are present in the writings of these three authors. For Freire, the liberation of the oppressed is also the liberation of the oppressor; for Gramsci, the subalterns should become hegemonic by the formulation of a new intellectual and moral direction which should be committed to the higher values of human kind: its existence; for Bloch, liberation is immanent to the human existence. Therefore, liberation is conceived by these authors as a process, the same stands for hegemony, which is never complete, fixed or definitive, or to reality, which is becoming all the time. Bloch, Gramsci and Freire authorize positions which connect the system critique with the present and concrete utopia, in our learning in the interaction with social movements and struggles.

AN ANTI-MANAGEMENT STATEMENT IN DIALOGUE WITH CRITICAL BRAZILIAN AUTHORS

The expressions Management and Organization Studies and Management and Organization Knowledge are expressions of an Anglo-Saxon construct. The association of Organization Studies (OS) with Management (M) produces the subordination of the former to the latter. In a different direction, a critical approach elaborated in Brazilian OS provides an original body of knowledge that expresses an anti-management (A-M) attitude. As the Brazilian A-M authors point out, the distinction between North/South M is irrelevant; what is relevant is a coherent pluriversal A-M attitude. In this paper, we honor and disseminate the Brazilian original body of knowledge on OS and introduce an OS agenda that is liberated from M.The expressions Management and Organization Studies and Management and Organization Knowledge are expressions of an Anglo-Saxon construct.

A produção social da organização do transporte coletivo urbano rodoviário de Porto Alegre : 2012-14

This paper analyses the social production of the public bus service in Porto Alegre, taking the Theory of Social Production (TSP) by Carlos Matus as reference. TSP explains how social reality is produced by actors acting under certain conditions and restrictions. Secondary data is interpretatively analyzed using categories from TSP. Considering social facts that resulted in accumulations and changes to the rules of the game, as well as the social actors involved, their motivations and the resources they mobilize, the study demonstrates the relevance of the Public Transport Struggle Front in the process of social production under analysis. It also highlights the contributions of TSP in the analysis of public policies as part of a process of interaction between social actors, located both within and outside the State apparatus.

Contradições e dinâmicas sociais e econômicas na Fronteira da Paz

Esse artigo e parte de uma pesquisa sobre as caracteristicas e tendencias da dinâmica socio-economica construida pelas organizacoes locais em Livramento-Rivera, cidades localizadas na fronteira Brasil-Uruguai. O referencial teorico tem o conceito de coerencia estruturada no seu centro, ou seja, entendemos que processos de producao e consumo, oferta e procura (de mercadoria e forca de trabalho), producao e realizacao, conflitos de classe e acumulacao, cultura e estilos de vida, permanecem unidos em um tipo de coerencia estruturada resultante do conjunto de relacoes de forcas produtivas e sociais. A estrategia de pesquisa foi a de estudo de caso intrinseco e instrumental. Em uma primeira etapa de trabalho de campo identificamos e agrupamos projetos em dois conjuntos: aqueles impulsionados pelos grupos economicos e politicos estabelecidos; e aqueles articulados como processos sociais inovadores. Na segunda etapa, constatamos novos projetos e a prevalencia de iniciativas dominadas pela racionalidade economica. A coerencia regional estruturada pelos atores da fronteira Livramento-Rivera segue os padroes historico-culturais da expectativa de grandes projetos propiciados por atores ‘de fora’; reproduzindo os padroes historico-culturais da estrutura fundiaria e/ou se apropriando de espacos valiosos em termos de recursos naturais. A organizacao de projetos alternativos a logica desenvolvimentista, ao se entrelacar com instituicoes de suporte tecnico-organizacional, leva a praticas organizacionais voltadas para o mercado que solapam a producao social de logicas distintas de organizacao.
