O CEBRAP nos anos setenta e a emergência de uma nova interpretração do Brasil

Nos anos 1970 as análises desenvolvidas por pesquisadores vinculados ao CEBRAP revelam a perspectiva de construção de uma nova interpretação acerca da realidade brasileira. Assim, a produção intelectual do CEBRAP que repercute ao longo da década de 1970 aponta para a revisão de certas teorias hegemônicas dos anos 1950 e 1960, que desde o golpe de 1964 vinham perdendo o sentido social que tinham. O significado dessa revisão é profundo e se reflete não apenas na agenda de análises sobre o pensamento social, como também nos debates que buscam a compreensão sobre a realidade políticosocial brasileira. É, justamente, nos artigos e ensaios publicados pelo Centro que encontramos um profuso material que permite nos inscrevermos no debate, no qual privilegiaremos três programas de pesquisas pleiteados pelo Centro: Estado e Sociedade Civil, Economia e Estudos Populacionais.

Crítica da modernidade e marxismo weberiano: aspectos da trajetória indisciplinada de Michael Löwy

Em sua vasta trajetória intelectual – que atravessa os múltiplos campos teóricos das ciências humanas – Michael Löwy destacou-se pela capacidade de estabelecer um diálogo profícuo entre tradições diversas do pensamento social. Partindo desta constatação, o objetivo deste artigo é a apresentação e sistematização de alguns aspectos decisivos da trajetória teórica e intelectual de Michael Löwy, com ênfase especial: 1) na importância da sua formação intelectual, ainda no Brasil (no final da década de 1950), para a constituição de uma leitura não-dogmática do marxismo; e 2) sua incorporação da dialética no diagnóstico weberiano da modernidade. O artigo argumenta que essa interpretação “aberta” do marxismo permitiu-lhe reinterpretar autores do passado — como Marx e Weber — a partir das condições de possibilidade do cenário histórico e intelectual contemporâneo. Esta disposição para enfrentar os desafios do presente sem abandonar as perspectivas do passado comprova a importância da obra de Löwy para as ciências sociais e, mais especificamente, para o marxismo contemporâneo.

A crise na sociedade do trabalho e sua importância na contextualização dos conteúdos curriculares do ensino médio

This article has as objective to discuss some topics concerning the supposed crisis of the society of the work and its consequences for the debate in social sciences and also for the work category contextualization in the secondary school curriculum. As the work has represented an important explanation category for the classic social thought, the contemporary paradigm of deep metamorphoses in the world of the work and the advent of the new question (CASTELS, 1995; ROSANVALLON, 1995) backward the necessity to rethink the theoretical shades that base the interpretation of the social life on the current context, when the center position of the work is being questioned. Having taken some theoretical references from the sociology of the work, we search to delineate on a brief way the quarrel about the dimensions of the social and political phenomena these days and the importance of this debate on the contextualization of the secondary school curriculum contents.

Rui Barbosa: mito, memória e esquecimento

The remembrance of Rui Barbosa has always involved the maintenance of myths fabricated during his lifetime while a reappraisal of his intellectual, literary and political dimensions has been forwarded. Current essay discusses from several bibliographical samples on Brazilian social thought the manner the memory of the lawgiver from Bahia has been appropriated civically and intellectually. A qualitative and quantitative contrast was established between Barbosa’s works published and referred to and those by Joaquim Nabuco, Sílvio Romero and Gilberto Freyre. Oscillations in the evaluation of Barbosa’s works occurred during the 20th century that brought about a decrease in their value and about the memory on the historical subject.

Den flygande maran : En studie om åtta narkotikabrukande kvinnor i Stockholm

Between April 1997 and November 1999, I followed eight socially excluded female drug users in an attempt to describe their lives and living conditions. The study employs an ethnographic approach with the focus being directed at the specific woman and her life in relation to the social context where this life is lived. The study’s objective has been to describe the lives and living conditions of the eight drug-using women, as well as the extent of the opportunities available to them, as being determined by mechanisms of social exclusion. Their lives are understood on the basis of a feminist and social constructionist perspective where perceptions of ‘the drug-abusing woman’ are regarded as the result of constructions of gender and deviance. The theoretical perspectives proceeds from the idea that one is not born a woman but rather becomes one. The fundamental idea is that women become women by means of processes of femininisation, in the context of which certain ways of interpreting and presenting oneself as a woman are regarded as good and others as bad. Our images of ‘the female drug addict’ are based on how we define and interpret deviance and on the cultural and social thought and behaviour patterns we ascribe to people on the basis of bodily differences. It is images of ‘the good woman’ that defines what we regard as characteristic of ‘the bad woman’ and vice versa. The findings are organised into three main topics: femininity, living conditions and social control. The main findings are: The women described themselves as women by relating to normative messages about how women “are and should be”, and their drug use constituted a means of coping with life from their social position. Their life revolved to a large extent around money via a constant struggle to find enough to cover the rent, food and other basic necessities. And finally, how the women’s relations to societal institutions were formed by their social position as ‘female drug addicts’ and how the asymmetry of these relations produced certain fixed patterns of action for the parties involved.
