A história do "turismo social" no Serviço Social do Comércio - SP

Este trabalho é fruto de uma investigação realizada no doutorado em História, Política e Bens Culturais do Centro de Pesquisa e Documentação de História Contemporânea do Brasil da Fundação Getulio Vargas - orientada pela profa. Dra. Bianca Freire-Medeiros - acerca da constituição e implementação do turismo social no Serviço Social do Comércio do estado de São Paulo (Sesc-SP), examinando as circunstâncias em que o lazer e as experiências turísticas tornam-se relevantes nas políticas e ações da entidade. Procurou-se entender as transformações e readequações que nortearam as iniciativas da instituição e como as modificações no conceito de turismo social no Brasil e no mundo vêm dialogando com suas diretrizes, posturas e intenções. A metodologia privilegiada na pesquisa foi a história oral temática, no intuito de fazer o registro da história do envolvimento de profissionais com o turismo social do Sesc-SP. Foram realizadas vinte e duas entrevistas com (ex)profissionais e feitas algumas visitas à Biblioteca do departamento nacional do Sesc (Sesc-DN) e ao setor de memória e documentação (Sesc-Memórias) do departamento regional paulista do Sesc, lugares que congregam documentos importantes relacionados à história do turismo na instituição. Espacialmente a pesquisa situa-se no Sesc-SP, repartição atuante e “atenta” às ideias e mudanças envolvendo o turismo social, e representativa na história do fenômeno, no Brasil e no mundo. A circunscrição temporal da pesquisa abarca desde 1979 - ano em que o Sesc de São Paulo passa a desenvolver excursões, passeios e viagens com maior frequência e tenta se aprofundar conceitualmente do turismo social ao se aproximar de órgãos internacionais de relevância política e científica na área - até as ações realizadas em 2013, ano no qual termino a pesquisa de campo e as entrevistas. Durante a trajetória da pesquisa, dialoguei com o período que antecede este recorte, acerca dos empreendimentos do Sesc relacionados as práticas de lazer e turismo, gerando o capítulo 2. Antes, no capítulo 1, tentei reconhecer o lugar do turismo social na história das atividades turísticas no mundo, entendendo-o enquanto oportunidade de efetivação do direito ao lazer. Para alcance dos intentos da tese, como fontes foram utilizados documentos produzidos em âmbito institucional, articulados com a fala dos indivíduos entrevistados, trabalho conjugado especialmente no capítulo 3, em que trago reflexões a respeito do turismo social desenvolvido pelo Sesc-SP. Dentre as análises alvitradas, descrevo a dificuldade encontrada pela entidade ao expandir suas atividades turísticas, vindo a sofrer represálias do setor privado. Deve-se destacar que foi possível perceber a metamorfose conceitual/prática por qual passara o turismo social no Sesc-SP, agregando diferentes conteúdos ao fenômeno e modificando seus processos de trabalho e práticas profissionais. Ressalto ainda o papel ideológico da administração regional do Sesc-SP dentro do Serviço Social do Comércio no Brasil, notadamente na área do turismo. Por fim, envolvo no debate da tese as políticas sociais de turismo, compreendido enquanto possibilidade de lazer.

Estratégia e legitimidade em organizações sociais: o Serviço Social do Comércio (SESC)

Os dilemas e desafios estratégicos para viabilização econômica e legitimação enfrentados por organizações sociais no Brasil – organizações sem finalidade econômica - se assemelham aos enfrentados por outros tipos de organização nas diversas partes do mundo. A literatura dominante de gestão e estratégia privilegia, em seu arcabouço, conceitos e práticas que apoiam e são apoiados nas grandes corporações privadas. A crescente influência dessas organizações na academia e na sociedade ajuda a explicar o papel de importância que estratégias de responsabilidade social corporativa alcançaram na legitimação das práticas e ideologia neoliberal que ajudam a reafirmar. Por sua vez, este quadro ajuda a explicar a posição marginal que as organizações sociais ocupam na área de gestão estratégica. Esta dissertação busca a ampliação da discussão dos estudos do campo da gestão estratégica que abordaram a construção hegemônica do campo, seus processos de legitimação e difusão e as respectivas abordagens críticas, inclusive o aspecto de colonialidade no qual a literatura dominante se insere. A compreensão da trajetória estratégica de uma organização social, o Serviço Social do Comércio – Sesc, se deu pela investigação dos processos de legitimação mobilizados dentro da própria organização e no contexto em que atua. Para tal foi utilizada a perspectiva contextualista que permitiu a observação mediante as relações internas e externas estabelecidas e as mudanças e continuidades promovidas em função de sua legitimação. Ao representar organizações como sistemas políticos e culturais que influenciam e que são influenciados pelo meio, esta investigação promove o entendimento dos componentes ideológicos e de poder na gestão estratégica, comumente naturalizados pela literatura dominante, abrindo espaço ainda para a descolonização da área de gestão estratégica, enfatizando a diversidade de organizações e de práticas e na possibilidade da coexistência de diferentes tipos de organização na área.

Movimento estudantil e serviço social no capitalismo contemporâneo: tendências e particularidades

This dissertation aims to analyze the social direction in which the Student Movement in Social Work in Brazil (ENESSO) has gone through. This is done considering how the functioning of the National Executive, the Brazilian Social Work Student union has operated. The research analyzed their political position regarding the university as well as professional education in the period of 2003 to 2008. The study s theoretical and methodological object was obtained according to its structural, juncture, and time determinants. All of the mentioned elements considered the contemporary capital crisis and its implications towards the State and Society emphasizing specifically the changes that occurred in the University regarding professional education. For the purpose of data collection and production, a documental and field research was realized. Thus, interviews were done considering one manager of each management period of the ENESSO group in the time span of 2003 to 2008. Some subjects that represented the Brazilian Social Work Teaching and Research Association (ABEPSS) as well as were also interviewed. These subjects have had a relevant role in partnership with these entities and represented students in the contemporary scene. Results suggest that ENESSO has developed work that defends a project of a public, free and laic quality university. This entity also defends a project that considers the 1996 Curricular Guidelines. Currently, there is internal dispute in the social direction of the MESS, this is seen amongst political groups that diverge in opinions related to the analysis done by the Lula government regarding the political role that the National Student Union-UNE has taken in the counter-reform of higher education. This current juncture is seen as extremely individualist and it results as in unfavorable for the collective organization of the working class, especially regarding student movement. MESS has been going through a moment of profound instability and this dimension is being expressed by the absence of national coordinator for the 2008/2009 management period at ENESSO. Even though there are difficulties, it is possible to point out partnership of the entities that represent the national Social Work in Brazil. These partnerships are all related to a struggle and search for the development of a professional project that leads towards the sociability awareness that goes beyond capital.
