Processos produtivos e trabalho-educação: a incorporação do caboclo catarinense na indústria madeireira

The object theme of the present study is a population of caboclos that absorbed as manual workers in the saw-mills which were mounted in the highland region of Santa Catarina since 1950. The abundance of araucaria (native kind of pine) the opening of markets, and the corroboration of other industrial exploration conditions encouraged a great crowd of small en.- trepreneurs, coming basically from the state of Rio Grande do Sul, to migrate and settle down, building up a lot of saw-mills near rich forests and fields. The saw-mills started aprosperous production of timber sawn in planks. The process of industriali zation was so intensive, the destruction of pine woods soviolent that, in less than three decades, the forests ran out of tree reserves. The caboclos, absorbed as manual workers in production of timber, lived traditionally in an system of subsistense, either from the cultivation of pine the economic their land (planter caboclo) or as labourers in cattle-growing farms (farm hand caboclos). Nevertheless, the 'advantages' that were offered them by the new-comer entrepreneurs (a salary paid in money, a new house in a village, and other favours) helped the great majority of caboclos to abandon their traditional work and enlist as "workmen" in saw-mills. The new job, besides being a novelty, was an opportunity for a change in status. Subsequently, the running out of forests of araucaria and the resultant progressive shut-down of saw-mills caused the crowd of workmen to be out of imployment and to form to form a migratory flood toward the most important town of the region, Lages. The town of Lages, however, having made of the timber i ts main economic support wi thout the implantation of an alternative industry, was unable to offer the migrantssufficient 'work places'. In this way, the 'marginal crowd' began to settle down in the suburbs of the city. This study, in the context of the object theme, analyses two main questions related to the reality 'WOlLQ' and to the economic exploitation forms: ~) the relations of production in the economic regime of subsistence and in the capitalist regime of industrial production with the consequent 'positions' of the workman in the productive processj ~~) the deriving educative effects of the productive process, either in the economic regime of subsistence, or in the capitalist industrial regime. The two questions are theoretically debated andconfro~ ted with the proposed reality, giving origin to conclusions that, in a general formulation, can be summarized as follows: a) the caboclos of the highland region of Santa Catari na, when under an economic regime of subsistence, held in fee the productive processj there was a social division of the work and aclimate of freedom which made possible the development of knowledge from their life and work experience, the production of most of their tools, and the making of necessary manufactures adapted to their own surrounding ditionsi -- - --- other con- ------ b) however, these same caboclos, when absorbed by the capitalist industrial process of production - tipified by the work in saw-mills - lost the control of the productive processj this was caused by the technologic division of the work, since each man began to perform a dull and repeti tive action, directed by the speed of the 'major-saw' j man resigned form his skill and inventive power and surrendered to an executive authority which turned him into a 'collective worker'j the new productive process, besides rnaking each rnan a copy of a pattern, put the caboclos in a situation in which the daily work experiencedidn't add anything in terrns of autogenesis of knowledgei and even the environrnental educative rneans were reduced to new forrns of adaptation to the productive process, relegating rnan's inventive power to inertia.

Crowdfunding no Brasil: uma análise sobre as motivações de quem participa

Este trabalho procurou investigar as motivações para a participação de apoiadores no modelo de recompensa de crowdfunding no Brasil, sob a luz dos aspectos encontrados na pesquisa americana de Gerber e Hui (2014). Como a participação nesse modelo é voluntária, entendeu- se ser importante compreender os motivos que levam pessoas a apoiarem projetos. Acredita- se que este trabalho tenha atingido o que foi por ele proposto, deixando contribuições em diversos sentidos. A fim de aprofundar o entendimento desse novo fenômeno social, apresentou-se uma pesquisa qualitativa fundamentada em um estudo de caso múltiplo, em que os apoiadores eram a unidade de análise, nas três maiores plataformas de crowdfunding do Brasil: Queremos, Catarse e Benfeitoria. E, como fonte de informações para esta metodologia, optou-se pelo método qualitativo de entrevistas em profundidade com os elementos da unidade de análise. Foram realizadas 11 entrevistas com apoiadores, sendo 06 homens e 05 mulheres. O trabalho também teve o objetivo de conhecer melhor o cenário nacional desse mercado, a partir de entrevistas em profundidade com os fundadores das plataformas e um heavy user (mais de 140 projetos apoiados) do modelo. Após a consolidação e análise dos dados obtidos, verificou-se a presença das motivações encontradas nos estudos de Gerber (GERBER e HUI, 2014), porém com algumas ressalvas quanto a motivação “Fazer parte de uma comunidade”, explicitada a seguir. A pesquisa qualitativa refinou substancialmente a compreensão do que motiva apoiadores a participar de crowdfunding, incluindo aspectos importantes que devem ser levados em consideração quanto a práticas do mercado. Ao final, as conclusões e implicações deste estudo foram detalhadamente apresentadas.

Qualificação jurídica das plataformas de crowdinvesting no Brasil: um estudo de caso da plataforma online da Broota Brasil

Crowdinvesting consiste na captação de recursos financeiros por empreendedores, por meio de uma plataforma online na internet, em que os investidores recebem em troca de seus aportes financeiros uma participação na empresa nascente investida. Trata-se de uma modalidade de financiamento peculiar, uma vez que usualmente realiza a oferta pública de valores mobiliários. O objetivo deste trabalho é identificar elementos para se pensar na qualificação jurídica da plataforma online de crowdinvesting, a partir da descrição de suas atividades realizadas no âmbito da oferta pública de valores mobiliários. Para tanto, foi escolhida a plataforma online da Broota Brasil como objeto único de análise, pois é a empresa pioneira na atividade. Identificar os elementos que propiciam uma reflexão acerca da qualificação jurídica que a plataforma online de crowdinvesting é importante, pois permite a (i) reflexão acerca do seu possível tratamento jurídico; e (ii) verificar se há segurança jurídica nas atividades cursadas no âmbito da plataforma online. Para nortear o presente trabalho, foram eleitas duas hipóteses de pesquisa, considerando que a plataforma online consiste em um ambiente virtual que disponibiliza espaço para a realização de ofertas públicas de valores mobiliários, sendo reputada como (i) mercado de balcão organizado; ou (ii) mercado de balcão não organizado. Assim, é realizada a descrição das atividades da plataforma online da Broota Brasil no âmbito da realização de oferta pública de valores mobiliários. Após, com base na legislação e doutrina específica, foi efetuada a descrição das características que conceituam juridicamente as referidas hipóteses. Em seguida, foram identificadas se tais características estavam presentes nas atividades desenvolvidas pela plataforma online da Broota Brasil. Por fim, não sendo reveladas tais características, sugere-se uma agenda de pesquisa apontando as possíveis qualificações jurídicas da plataforma online, em razão de sua aproximação de empreendedores e investidores no âmbito do negócio jurídico de compra e venda de oferta pública de valores mobiliários.

The meeting was convened by 1net, a coalition of stakeholder groups involved in Internet governance discussions, in partnership with the Brazilian Internet Steering Committee (CGI.br), in response to revelations of mass surveillance of communications by the United States. It sought to develop a set of universally acceptable Internet governance principles as well as a way forward for the evolution of the Internet governance system, which together could serve as a framework for the governance and use of the Internet. It convened 930 participants from 110 different countries, representing civil society, the private sector, academia, the technical community, governments and intergovernmental organizations, as well as over 1000 remote participants from 23 countries around the globe. It also employed a content contribution platform that sought to crowd source inputs from stakeholders for the production of the outcome document. The meeting served as a demonstration of the multistakeholder process in action: in the production of the outcome document, stakeholders with a diverse range of backgrounds and interests collectively negotiated the inclusion or exclusion of highly sensitive and complex issues. While the process of achieving rough consensus involved sometimes messy debates and there were procedural imperfections, the case is informative for its structured production of bottom-up multistakeholder outcomes.groups involved in Internet governance discussions, in partnership with the Brazilian Internet Steering Committee (CGI.br), in response to revelations of mass surveillance of communications by the United States.
