Incerta, a vida continua: a formação subjetiva no contexto da violência nas favelas cariocas

Este trabalho consiste em um estudo sobre a relação entre subjetividade e meio, mais especificamente, sobre a formação subjetiva no contexto da violência nas favelas cariocas. A reflexão proposta traz, como principal referencial teórico, a noção, adotada, entre outros, por John Bowlby e Donald Winnicott, de uma constituição subjetiva marcada pela intersubjetividade. Dito de outro modo, a subjetividade aqui é resultante do encontro do indivíduo com o meio (inicialmente a própria figura materna); o que significa que um não pode ser compreendido a não ser na interação com outro. Desse pressuposto comum, tais autores partem para construir percursos teóricos independentes, que ora se aproximam, ora se distanciam. Contemporâneos e membros da Sociedade Psicanalítica Britânica da época, Bowlby e Winnicott fizeram parte do chamado Middle Group. Tal vertente psicanalítica, sob a influência da biologia de Darwin, da etologia e da literatura, apresenta como característica fundamental a de conferir uma importância inédita ao ambiente no processo do desenvolvimento emocional. A adaptação dos cuidados maternos às necessidades do bebê, nos estágios precoces de seu desenvolvimento, ganha a função primordial de sobrevivência e desempenha aqui um papel decisivo para a saúde mental do sujeito. Bowlby utilizar-se-á da idéia de que os pais, ou cuidadores, funcionam como uma espécie de base segura a partir da qual a criança pode explorar o mundo com a confiança de que será acolhida caso precise. Para ele, o comportamento de apego sustenta o processo de subjetivação e representa um elemento constituinte da natureza humana, que se manifesta através da propensão para estabelecer laços íntimos. Já Winnicott adotará a idéia de uma maternagem suficientemente boa, capaz de garantir à criança a continuidade de sua existência. Interrupções nessa provisão dos cuidados precoces são, para estes autores, potenciais agentes patogênicos. À luz dessa perspectiva teórica, serão apresentadas as narrativas biográficas de três moradores de uma favela da zona sul carioca representativa dos constantes e violentos confrontos que vêm ocorrendo entre os integrantes do tráfico de drogas daquela localidade com a polícia, com outras facções rivais e entre eles próprios. A experiência da provisão materna, em ambientes prejudicados por um determinado tipo de violência contextualizada, é o que tais histórias pessoais tentam retratar.

A expressão da subjetividade na Filosofia de Merleau-Ponty

Neste trabalho, o filósofo francês Maurice Merleau-Ponty é autor privilegiado na busca de uma compreensão fenomenológica da subjetividade. Na primeira concede-se relevo às análises sobre a corporeidade, a partir da qual se revela uma socialidade originária aberta pela experiência perceptiva. Se na parte I predomina o mundo natural, na parte II a experiência do mundo cultural é o principal tema. O caráter estrutural da experiência perceptiva não é aban-donado, mas retomado no intuito de explorar a tese de que a significação da experiência é desvinculada de uma consciência separada da existência. Fundamentada na percepção, parti-cularmente em seu aspecto antepredicativo, desenvolve-se uma análise fenomenológica da linguagem, bem como o lugar da praxis e da intersubjetividade na compreensão deste tema, explicitando ainda mais a dimensão social originária revelada pela corporeidade. O vínculo da dimensão subjetiva com a existência, mediante o corpo, é realçado a partir da noção de ex-pressão. A noção de expressão refere-se à transcendência do sujeito em relação à sua situação, sem prescindir dela e serve para mostrar que o sentido das coisas percebidas é abordado não como algo isolável, mas produto de uma articulação na ordem do sensível, dispensando, assim, a tese de um paralelismo entre a ordem positiva (a percepção do mundo) e a ordem da idealidade (o que é dito ou pensado sobre a experiência). A lógica da expressão, verificada no corpo, é sucedida pelo estudo da linguagem na obra de Merleau-Ponty, para obter sua concep-ção sobre a relação do sujeito com o instituído. Constata-se que a expressividade presente na linguagem, análoga ao gesto corporal, aponta para a transcendência do significado em relação aos significantes partilhados em determinada cultura e, portanto, para a liberdade do sujeito enquanto produtora de uma história, a partir das transformações operadas na situação em que se encontra. Se a linguagem permitiu conceber de que modo o sujeito pode instaurar novas significações a partir das que estão estabelecidas, o retorno, no fim da dissertação, ao tema da liberdade, desenvolvido na Fenomenologia da Percepção, demonstra que as teses presentes em seus últimos textos mantêm uma coerência com os primeiros. A influência da noção de estrutura em seu interesse pela antropologia, abordada no último capítulo da dissertação, con-firma que a função simbólica, presente ao longo do texto como lógica da expressão, expõe a dialética sem síntese característica da subjetividade.

O corpo vivido entre afetos: psicorporeidade e intersubjetividade em Ferenczi, Balint e Winnicott

Esta tese pretende reafirmar duas dimensões existenciais, constituintes do ser humano: a psicorporeidade e a intersubjetividade. O ser humano é uma unidade psicossomática que se constitui no e através do ambiente humano que é seu entorno. Essa afirmativa parece nada incomum em 2005, mas não foi a hegemônica no pensamento ocidental. No racionalismo dualista, proposto por Platão na antiguidade e radicalizado e sistematizado por Descartes na modernidade, vigorava a radical separação entre corpo (res extensa) e alma (res cogitans), entre sujeito e objeto. Recorro à noção de corpo vivido na intersubjetividade, presente em Merleau-Ponty, para expor como concebo estas duas dimensões. Assinalo os paralelos de sua concepção ulterior (a noção de carne) com a da reformulação teórica freudiana - a partir da introdução do conceito de narcisismo (1914c) e do inconsciente originário, enraizado no corpo (1923a). Este é o período da formulação freudiana no qual encontram-se os pilares das principais concepções desenvolvidas por Ferenczi, Balint e Winnicott, clínicos da psicanálise cujas contribuições podem ser agrupadas no que denomino de matriz ferencziana - destacando-se a reformulação da teoria do trauma e a proposta clínica da regressão/progressão num ambiente facilitador que propicie continente para a experiência subjetiva. O segundo objetivo deste trabalho é mostrar a articulação entre as suas principais obras e como as dimensões da psicorporeidade e da intersubjetividade nelas estão presentes.

Skin and bone: the face in the archaeological imagination

Thirteen unique archaeological countenances from Ireland were produced through the Manchester method of facial reconstruction. Their gaze prompts a space for a broad discourse regarding the face found within human and artefactual remains of Ireland. These faces are reminders of the human element which is at the core of the discipline of archaeology. These re-constructions create a voyeuristic relationship with the past. At once sating a curiosity about the past, facial reconstructions also provide a catharsis to our presently situated selves. As powerful visual documents, archaeological facial reconstructions illustrate re-presentations of the past as well as how the present can be connected to the past. Through engagment with Emmanuel Levinas’s (1906- 1995) main philosophical themes, the presence of the face is examined in a diachronic structure. The ‘starting point’ is the Neolithic period which has been associated with the notion of visuality with a reconstruction from the early Neolithic site of Annagh, Co. Limerick. The following layer of analysis appears with attention to intersubjectivity in the early medieval period with facial reconstructions from Dooey, Co. Donegal and Owenbristy, Co. Galway. Building upon the past concepts, the late medieval period is associated with the notion of alterity and paired with faces from Ballinderry, Co. Kildare and a sample of males from Gallen Priory, Co. Offaly. The final layer of examination culminates with the application of response and respons-ibility to the post-medieval Irish landscape with facial reconstructions from the prison on Spike Island, Co. Cork. These layers of investigation are similar to the stratigraphical composition of both the archaeological landscape and the skeletal/soft tissue landscape of the face. The separation of the neglected phenomenon of the face from the overwhelming embrace of the field of craniometrics is necessary. Through this detachment a new manner in which to discuss the face and its place within the (bio)archaeological record is possible. Encountering the faces seen in mortuary contexts, material culture, and archaeological facial reconstructions, inform and shape the archaeological imagination.

'What say you to [this] book? Is it yours?'::Oral and Collaborative Narrative Trajectories in the Mediated Writings of Anna Trapnel

This article argues that, when a printed page is initially orally generated and then transcribed, either at the time or on a subsequent occasion by a listener or an interlocutor, there are important critical implications for the “I” of the account. It takes as a case study Anna Trapnel's first published works. Appearing within a few weeks of each other in 1654, The Cry of a Stone and Strange and Wonderful News are both mediated texts, large parts of which depend on the agency of a relater. The article begins by examining the textual traces of the relater, arguing for the centrality of his role and other agencies in the shaping of the works which bear Trapnel's name. Situating itself in relation to a current orientation in feminist autobiographical theory that places emphasis on the external requirement to narrate one's life, rather than on the spontaneous production of autobiography by an inner self, the article emphasizes notions of coaxing, witnessing and intersubjectivity to point up an appreciation of women's life writing as a species of cultural production in which various historical actors—male and female—participate. This dialogic process, which persists into the afterlife of transcription, owes part of its genesis to the political vagaries of 1654 and precipitates two contrasting—but equally “authentic”—versions of Trapnel's life and self. Mapping this movement, discussion concentrates on the ways in which a critical confrontation with women's oral narrative is as much an activity of disentangling as it is of reconstructing, an activity which is revealing of the extent to which a spectrum of social and cultural networks participates in and facilitates the female writing act.

Work-worlds colliding: Self-reflexivity, power and emotion in organizational ethnography

While organizational ethnographers have embraced the concept of self-reflexivity, problems remain. In this article we argue that the prevalent assumption that self-reflexivity is the sole responsibility of the individual researcher limits its scope for understanding organizations. To address this, we propose an innovative method of collective reflection that is inspired by ideas from cultural and feminist anthropology. The value of this method is illustrated through an analysis of two ethnographic case studies, involving a ‘pair interview’ method. This collective approach surfaced self-reflexive accounts, in which aspects of the research encounter that still tend to be downplayed within organizational ethnographies, including emotion, intersubjectivity and the operation of power dynamics, were allowed to emerge. The approach also facilitated a second contribution through the conceptualization of organizational ethnography as a unique endeavour that represents a collision between one ‘world of work’: the university, with a second: the researched organization. We find that this ‘collision’ exacerbates the emotionality of ethnographic research, highlighting the refusal of ‘researched’ organizations to be domesticated by the specific norms of academia. Our article concludes by drawing out implications for the practice of self-reflexivity within organizational ethnography.

Four-month-olds make triangular bids to father and mother during trilogue play with still-face

(from the journal abstract) A new observational procedure, Trilogue Play with Still-face, revealed 4-month-olds' capacities to address both their fathers and mothers, by rapidly shifting gaze and affect between them. Infants were observed in four interactive contexts: (1) '3-together' play with both parents; (2) '2 + 1' play with one parent engaging and the other as third party; (3) the same, with one parent posing a still-face; (4) '3-together' play. Infants were able to discriminate between the four contexts. They coordinated three social poles of attention in each one. Their affect configurations were context sensitive. These findings demonstrate the infant's social capacities for triangular, three-person interactions, in addition to dyadic, two-person, and triadic, two-person plus object, ones. They support a view of intersubjectivity as primary and point to a promising field of investigation for the study of family process. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2005 APA, all rights reserved)

An investigation of the nature and role of historicality in the thought of Dilthey and Heidegger

Introduction The question of the meaning, methods and philosophical manifestations of history is currently rife with contention. The problem that I will address in an exposition of the thought of Wilhelm Dilthey and Martin Heidegger, centers around the intersubjectivity of an historical world. Specifically, there are two interconnected issues. First, since all knowledge occurs to a person from within his or her historical age how can any person in any age make truth claims? In order to answer this concern we must understand the essence and role of history. Yet how can we come to an individual understanding ofwhat history is when the meanings that we use are themselves historically enveloped? But can we, we who are well aware of the knowledge that archaeology has dredged up from old texts or even from 'living' monuments of past ages, really neglect to notice these artifacts that exist within and enrich our world? Charges of wilful blindness would arise if any attempt were made to suggest that certain things of our world did not come down to us from the past. Thus it appears more important 2 to determine what this 'past' is and therefore how history operates than to simply derail the possibility for historical understanding. Wilhelm Dilthey, the great German historicist from the 19th century, did not question the existence of historical artifacts as from the past, but in treating knowledge as one such artifact placed the onus on knowledge to show itself as true, or meaningful, in light ofthe fact that other historical periods relied on different facts and generated different truths or meanings. The problem for him was not just determining what the role of history is, but moreover to discover how knowledge could make any claim as true knowledge. As he stated, there is a problem of "historical anarchy"!' Martin Heidegger picked up these two strands of Dilthey's thought and wanted to answer the problem of truth and meaning in order to solve the problem of historicism. This problem underscored, perhaps for the first time, that societal presuppositions about the past and present oftheir era are not immutable. Penetrating to the core of the raison d'etre of the age was an historical reflection about the past which was now conceived as separated both temporally and attitudinally from the present. But further than this, Heidegger's focus on asking the question of the meaning of Being meant that history must be ontologically explicated not merely ontically treated. Heidegger hopes to remove barriers to a genuine ontology by II 1 3 including history into an assessment ofprevious philosophical systems. He does this in order that the question of Being be more fully explicated, which necessarily for him includes the question of the Being of history. One approach to the question ofwhat history is, given the information that we get from historical knowledge, is whether such knowledge can be formalized into a science. Additionally, we can approach the question of what the essence and role of history is by revealing its underlying characteristics, that is, by focussing on historicality. Thus we will begin with an expository look at Dilthey's conception of history and historicality. We will then explore these issues first in Heidegger's Being and Time, then in the third chapter his middle and later works. Finally, we shall examine how Heidegger's conception may reflect a development in the conception of historicality over Dilthey's historicism, and what such a conception means for a contemporary historical understanding. The problem of existing in a common world which is perceived only individually has been philosophically addressed in many forms. Escaping a pure subjectivist interpretation of 'reality' has occupied Western thinkers not only in order to discover metaphysical truths, but also to provide a foundation for politics and ethics. Many thinkers accept a solipsistic view as inevitable and reject attempts at justifying truth in an intersubjective world. The problem ofhistoricality raises similar problems. We 4 -. - - - - exist in a common historical age, presumably, yet are only aware ofthe historicity of the age through our own individual thoughts. Thus the question arises, do we actually exist within a common history or do we merely individually interpret this as communal? What is the reality of history, individual or communal? Dilthey answers this question by asserting a 'reality' to the historical age thus overcoming solipsism by encasing individual human experience within the historical horizon of the age. This however does nothing to address the epistemological concern over the discoverablity of truth. Heidegger, on the other hand, rejects a metaphysical construel of history and seeks to ground history first within the ontology ofDasein, and second, within the so called "sending" of Being. Thus there can be no solipsism for Heidegger because Dasein's Being is necessarily "cohistorical", Being-with-Others, and furthermore, this historical-Being-in-the-worldwith- Others is the horizon of Being over which truth can appear. Heidegger's solution to the problem of solipsism appears to satisfy that the world is not just a subjective idealist creation and also that one need not appeal to any universal measures of truth or presumed eternal verities. Thus in elucidating Heidegger's notion of history I will also confront the issues ofDasein's Being-alongside-things as well as the Being of Dasein as Being-in-the-world so that Dasein's historicality is explicated vis-a-vis the "sending of Being" (die Schicken des S eins).

La genèse des objets idéaux dans la phénoménologie tardive de Husserl

Le Théâtre-forum : pour une délibération sous le signe de la reconnaissance?

Cette recherche explore le Théâtre-forum comme support méthodologie d’un espace délibératif pour discuter des tensions sociales liées à la coprésence au centre-ville de Montréal entre des personnes en situation de rue et leurs voisins domiciliés. L’argument au cœur de la problématique repose sur les taches aveugles de la délibération: dans les forums de quartier, les inégalités sociales se traduisent par des inégalités délibératives au désavantage des personnes sans adresse en défaut d’autorité épistémologique en raison de leur statut; ces inégalités délibératives reproduisent le déni de reconnaissance qui traverse l’expérience relationnelle de ces personnes. Le Théâtre-forum est issu du Théâtre de l’opprimé : une pratique d’intervention théâtrale conçue par Augusto Boal durant la dictature au Brésil comme dispositif émancipateur pour les groupes opprimés. Le Joker incite les membres de l’auditoire à devenir Spect-acteurs par les remplacements du protagoniste, et ce, afin de surmonter son oppression. Ainsi, cette projection dans les chaussures du protagoniste-itinérant facilite-t-elle ce passage de l’indignité à la reconnaissance pour les personnes en situation de rue? L’échange théâtral peut-il ouvrir la voie vers la reconstruction d’un lien intersubjectif entre personnes sans adresse et domiciliés, intersubjectivité qui au cœur-même des vertus délibératives et des principes fondateurs défendus par les théoriciens de la reconnaissance comme Honneth et Renault?

Vue intérieure de la médication psychiatrique : l’expérience des personnes ayant cheminé avec la GAM

Cette recherche aborde la médication psychiatrique à partir du point de vue des usagers. Des entrevues en profondeur ont été réalisées auprès de dix personnes utilisatrices en provenance d’une ressource communautaire et alternative en santé mentale. Les répondants éprouvent ou ont éprouvé des problèmes importants de santé mentale. La majorité des usagers de notre échantillon consomme des neuroleptiques. Les participants sélectionnés ont cheminé avec l’approche de la gestion autonome de la médication en santé mentale (GAM). La GAM constitue un terrain fertile, car l’approche favorise la réflexion critique, la diversité de pratiques autour de la médication psychotrope. Un état des connaissances portant sur l’expérience subjective de la médication est présenté. Les effets de la médication sur les personnes et leur contexte de vie ainsi que les aspects symboliques ont été analysés. Parmi les effets majeurs de la médication, on compte : l’effet de « gel », la grande fatigue, les difficultés d’attribution, le désir d’arrêt et les effets paradoxaux. La médication peut avoir des effets positifs ou négatifs sur l’entourage, le travail, les études ou autres implications sociales. Le rapport des usagers relatif à la médication a évolué vers un usage planifié, modulé et moindre. À cet effet, les dix usagers sont passés d’une phase de « novice » à une « d’expert ». Les résultats de cette recherche indiquent que la notion d’observance au traitement doit être revisitée et la notion d’efficacité élargie. Cette étude qualitative démontre que les versants « intérieurs » de la médication, l’expérience subjective et l’intersubjectif apportent une perspective plutôt rare, mais riche, du médicament en tant qu’objet social.

Le rôle de l'intersubjectivité dans les Méditations cartésiennes de Husserl

Les Méditations cartésiennes exposent sommairement le rôle de la phénoménologie dans le projet de refondation des sciences. Husserl y discutera, à partir du doute cartésien, une sortie du scepticisme vers une fondation de la connaissance. Pour cela, deux choses devront être exposées : premièrement, le principe central à la subjectivité nommé « l’ego transcendantal » qui permettra de comprendre ce qui constitue l’essence de la subjectivité. Deuxièmement, la communauté intersubjective elle-même qui, une fois atteinte, permettra la constitution d’une connaissance certaine. Ce mémoire retracera le développement fait entre la première réduction, qui semble restreindre le phénoménologue à sa propre subjectivité, à celle de l’atteinte d’une communauté intersubjective. En exposant méthodiquement l’avancée de Husserl, nous montrerons comment une réelle intersubjectivité est développée, tout en soulevant certaines objections qui limitent la portée de cette entreprise, afin de parvenir à deux choses : premièrement, une remise en contexte d’un argument complexe se laissant trop souvent réduire à une lecture idéaliste au sens classique du terme; deuxièmement, que le corps joue un rôle central dans le projet husserlien et que ce sera sur celui-ci, pris en un sens spécifique, que s’édifiera la communauté existant entre les différentes monades.

Empathie in der Psychotherapie aus neuer Perspektive

Die traditionellen Empathiekonzepte (z. B. Rogers, Kohut), die in der Psychotherapie bis heute maßgebend sind, werden einer gründlichen Überprüfung unterzogen. Dabei ergeben sich drei wesentliche Kritikpunkte: (1) Empathische Vorgänge in der Psychotherapie werden als einseitige Prozesse verstanden; der Therapeut fühlt sich in die Klientin ein, nicht auch umgekehrt. (2) Empathie wird in Cartesianischer Tradition schwerpunktmäßig als kognitive Leistung gesehen; ein körperloser Geist vergegenwärtigt sich die mentalen Inhalte eines anderen. (3) Das traditionelle Empathieverständnis ist individualistisch: Therapeutin und Klient halten sich demnach scheinbar im luftleeren Raum auf. Es sieht so aus, als existiere kein Kontext, der sie umgibt. So einseitig, wie ihre Beziehung gedacht wird, so abgetrennt, wie ihr Körper von ihrem Geist zu sein scheint, so unverbunden sind sie scheinbar mit dem Rest der Welt. Aus diesen drei Kritikpunkten folgt die Notwendigkeit, den Empathiebegriff der Psychotherapie zu erweitern, d. h. (a) Empathie als gegenseitigen Prozess der Beteiligten zu begreifen, (b) ihre tiefe Verwurzelung in der Leiblichkeit des Menschen zu berücksichtigen und (c) ihre Einbettung in die Dynamiken einer gemeinsamen Situation im Rahmen eines kulturellen Kontextes einzubeziehen. Mit Rückgriff auf neuere Untersuchungsergebnisse aus der Entwicklungspsychologie (z. B. Emde, Hobson, Meltzoff, Stern, Trevarthen), der Sozial- und Emotionspsychologie (z. B. Chartrand, Ekman, Goleman, Hatfield, Holodynski), der sozialen Neurowissenschaften (z. B. Damasio, Gallese, Iacoboni, LeDoux, Rizzolatti), aber auch mit Hilfe der Erkenntnisse aus der klassischen (Husserl, Merleau- Ponty, Edith Stein) und der Neuen Phänomenologie (Schmitz) sowie aus symbolischem Interaktionismus (Mead) und aus der kulturhistorischen Schule (Vygotskij) werden diese drei bislang wenig beleuchteten Dimensionen der Empathie betrachtet. ad a) Die Gegenseitigkeit empathischer Vorgänge in der Psychotherapie wird anhand des entwicklungspsychologischen Konzepts des social referencing erläutert und untersucht: Kleinkinder, die in eine unbekannte bzw. unsichere Situation geraten (z. B. im Experiment mit der "visuellen Klippe"), orientieren sich an den nonverbalen Signalen ihrer Bezugspersonen, um diese Situation zu bewältigen. Dabei erfasst die Mutter die Situation des Kindes, versucht ihm ihre Stellungnahme zu seiner Situation zu übermitteln, und das Kind begreift die Reaktion der Mutter als Stellungnahme zu seiner Situation. ad b) Die Körperlichkeit bzw. Leiblichkeit der Einfühlung manifestiert sich in vielfältigen Formen, wie sie von der Psychologie, der Phänomenologie und den Neurowissenschaften erforscht werden. Das kulturübergreifende Erkennen des Gesichtsausdrucks von Basisemotionen ist hier ebenso zu nennen wie die Verhaltensweisen des motor mimicry, bei dem Menschen Körperhaltungen und – bewegungen ihrer Bezugspersonen unwillkürlich imitieren; des Weiteren das unmittelbare Verstehen von Gesten sowie die Phänomene der „Einleibung“, bei denen die körperliche Situation des Anderen (z. B. eines stürzenden Radfahrers, den man beobachtet) am eigenen Leib mitgefühlt wird; und außerdem die Entdeckung der „Spiegelneurone“ und anderer neuronaler Strukturen, durch die Wahrgenommenes direkt in analoge motorische Aktivität übersetzt wird. ad c) Intersubjektivitätstheoretische Überlegungen, Konzepte wie „dyadisch erweiterter Bewusstseinszustand“ (Tronick) und „gemeinsame Situation“ (Gurwitsch, Schmitz) verweisen auf die Bedeutung überindividueller, ‚emergenter’ Dimensionen, die für die Verständigung zwischen Menschen wichtig sind. Sie folgen gestaltpsychologischen Prinzipien („Das Ganze ist mehr und anders als die Summe seiner Teile.“), die mit Hilfe von Gadamers Begriff des „Spiels“ analysiert werden. Am Ende der Arbeit stehen die Definition eines neuen Empathiebegriffs, wie er sich aus den vorangegangenen Überlegungen ergibt, sowie eine These über die psychotherapeutische Wirkweise menschlicher Einfühlung, die durch weitere Forschungen zu überprüfen wäre.

Intersubjetividad de la realidad empresarial del sistema financiero colombiano : el caso COLPATRIA

Dentro de los aspectos más importantes para el desarrollo organizacional se encuentra el factor humano, donde existen diferentes formas para examinar la manera en que las personas perciben el desarrollo del negocio y su entorno. La intersubjetividad como asunto de la realidad empresarial se convierte entonces en una manera de recopilar la forma en que los involucrados en diferentes niveles de una organización perciben fenómenos, siendo esto fuente fundamental para la medición de la alineación de la organización con su plataforma estratégica. Este estudio busca examinar la forma en que los empleados de la empresa Colpatria perciben el sector financiero, en el cual se desempeña la empresa.

El inmigrante, una herramienta un invasor: análisis de la construcción intersubjetiva de la imagen del trabajador mexicano en los Estados Unidos de América

Esta monografía estudia la historia de la relación laboral entre Estados Unidos y México, analizando bajo el Constructivismo de Wendt, cómo, desde finales del S.XIX se desarrollan procesos políticos bilaterales, que, siguiendo las tendencias del contexto productivo multilateral, construyen un imaginario intersubjetivo de la fuerza laboral mexicana, inicialmente como una herramienta para el modelo de producción agroindustrial y, posteriormente, como un invasor en periodos de recesión económica. Utilizando al trabajador inmigrante, como mano de obra barata o como chivo expiatorio se ha establecido un imaginario en las dos naciones que, por su connotación negativa, impulsan movimientos civiles de reivindicación. Desde mediados del S.XX estas asociaciones civiles trabajan, transnacionalmente, para cambiar la imagen y reestructurar los factores que los estimularon, históricamente a convertirse en actores del Sistema Internacional.
