A modernização da agricultura no Brasil e a produção do biocombustível como energia alternativa: uma reflexão crítica

This article discusses the policy implications of agricultural modernization implemented by the military - after 1964. This policy, which became known as the Green Revolution, on the one hand contributed to the development of big business, but another caused serious social and environmental impacts. Currently, not only in Brazil but all over the world, have been in a great debate about the need to find alternatives to contain the problems caused to the environment resulting from the use of high technology in the field. One alternative proposed by several researchers is to replace fossil fuels by biofuels. As we believe that the error is in the current model of agricultural production based on mass production, which serves the major markets, the attention in this article, the need to develop an agricultural model designed for small property, with the use of family work and agroecology.

Comunidades etnicas no Brasil e modernização. En: Avá, nº 18

Tomando como referencia conceitos de Tönnies, neste artigo discutimos a relação entre comunidades étnicas e modernização no Brasil. Analisamos essa relação em dois momentos. No primeiro, consideramos alguns estudos de caso, de autores representativos dos “estudos de comunidade” realizados no Brasil durante o processo de modernização das décadas de 1940 a 1960. No segundo, tratamos especialmente das comunidades quilombolas a partir das políticas publicas implementadas pelo governo Lula. Neste contexto discutimos, a partir de pesquisas realizadas pelo autor na região norte do Estado do Rio de Janeiro, o papel de agentes modernos nas econstruções de comunidade de espírito e sugerimos o conceito de neocomunidades para representar a atual fase de transformação.

CAPITAL PSICOLÓGICO COMO MODERADOR ENTRE PERCEPÇÕES DE SUPORTE NO AMBIENTE SOCIAL E NO CONTEXTO ORGANIZACIONAL DE EMPREENDEDIMENTOS ECONÔMICOS SOLIDÁRIOS

Nas últimas décadas o comportamento organizacional vem sendo foco de estudos visto a necessidade de se conhecer crenças, afetos e sentimentos, elementos cada vez mais importantes num processo rumo ao alcance de resultados organizacionais, principalmente num cenário de grande disputa e conquista por espaço em um mercado cada vez mais competitivo. Dessa forma, reconhece-se a importância do papel que o conhecimento sobre o comportamento humano tem na eficácia da gestão. O contexto da Economia Solidária aparece como uma forma de organização onde possui princípios organizativos que compreendem a posse coletiva dos meios de produção pelas pessoas que a utilizam, e gestão democrática da empresa, caracterizando a autogestão. A autogestão é uma forma de administração democrática e participativa, onde todos os trabalhadores devem ter acesso à informação de tudo o que acontece na empresa para poder definir metas de produção, políticas de investimentos e modernização, política de pessoal entre outras. Esta pesquisa teve como objetivo analisar as relações de interdependência do capital psicológico, percepções de suporte social e percepções de suporte no contexto organizacional de empreendimentos econômicos solidários. Os participantes desse estudo escolhidos aleatoriamente foram 106 cooperados, e o instrumento de coleta de dados foi um questionário de autopreenchimento composto por quatro medidas validadas para o contexto brasileiro. As informações coletadas, todas representadas por indicadores numéricos, formaram um banco de dados para tratamento no software Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS), versão 18.0. Foram realizadas análises descritivas, correlações entre as variáveis (r de Pearson) e regressão linear. Também foram calculados os alfas de Cronbach para as escalas utilizadas. Os resultados obtidos apontam correlações positivas e significativas entre percepção de suporte social e as três dimensões de percepções de suporte social no trabalho e confirmam o capital psicológico como moderador entre percepções de suporte social e percepções de suporte social no trabalho.

O ouro branco abre caminho: o algodão e a modernização do espaço urbano da Cidade da Parahyba (1850-1924)

The present research deals with the modernization process of the Cidade da Parahyba2, between 1850 and 1924, and its relation with the cotton economy, which represented the main source of wealth accumulation for both the private and the public sectors throughout the First Republic. This study on urban history was developed by focusing on the understanding of the city s spatial formation, and despite its emphasis on the economic aspects involved, other factors that also contribute to the development of the social life were not put aside. The modernization process of the Cidade da Parahyba was also analyzed during the period established for the study according to a chronological and thematic approach that established comparisons with the financial situation of the State, whenever this was necessary, with special attention to the contribution of the cotton economy to the State´s revenues. It was possible to detect a lack of financial help and loans from the federal and municipal administrations for finishing several public works already underway in the capital, since the federal funds allocated to the State of Parahyba do Norte were rather employed in emergency works against droughts and in agricultural development. One can then conclude that the financial resources required for the urban interventions were withdrawn from the State s treasury itself, resources that were collected mainly from activities such as cotton exportation and cotton trading. Another factor shows the interdependence between the urban remodeling and the cotton economy: during the years marked by great droughts or by hard plagues on the cotton plantations, cotton production decreased, as well as the State s finances. The first measures taken by the State s administrators were to halt all projects of urban remodeling in progress in the Cidade da Parahyba, which was, clearly, the most privileged city by the State s presidents during the period analyzed. 2 The city of João Pessoa was named Cidade da Parahyba, a designation that remained until September 1930, when it received its present-day name in order to pay homage to the president of the State, João Pessoa Cavalcanti de Albuquerque, murdered in the city of Recife in August of that same year. At that time, the State of Paraíba was known as Parahyba do Norte. Since this work is limited to a period of time comprised within the First Republic, the names employed respect the terms used in those days

A REPRODUÇÃO SOCIAL CAMPESINA NO MUNICÍPIO DE ITABAIANA (SE)

A reprodução social campesina tem sido cada vez mais dificultada pela falta de acesso a terra. Os detentores do capital expropriam os camponeses separando-os dos seus meios de produção e submetendo-os à exploração capitalista do trabalho. Dessa forma o camponês deixa de trabalhar para si, e trabalha para o capital, não vende mais sua produção e sim sua força de trabalho, fragilizando assim a reprodução do campesinato, levando em consideração que para reproduzir-se é fundamental o acesso a terra. Seja pela manutenção do latifúndio como reserva de valor, seja pela expansão das pastagens ou pela modernização no campo, a tendência é uma crescente expropriação seguida de exploração da força de trabalho camponesa. Sendo assim, nesse trabalho tem-se como objetivo compreender as estratégias utilizadas pelos camponeses para garantir a sua reprodução e de sua família no município de Itabaiana (SE). Em busca de um maior embasamento teórico fizemos um levantamento bibliográfico de autores tais como: Kautsky (1980), Shanin (1980), Santos (1978), Martins (1986, 1991), Oliveira (2004), dentre outros. Foram feitas entrevistas junto à comunidade camponesa do município, com o intuito de analisar as questões que se referem às estratégias de reprodução campesina.
