Essa ciranda não é minha só, é de todas nós: um estudo sobre feminismo, autonomia e consciência coletiva

The notion of autonomy arises in feminism as theory and action for horizontal and building self-appointed women in the project of social transformation. As part of the feminist movement - political subject of women - the autonomy is established dynamically, back and forth from the socio-historical context that sign and thus the correlation of forces that is with the women's group . Thus, for this work it was necessary to feminism take on your current process, which set the transitional period of "onguização" of feminist organizations (1980 to 2000), which discusses the relative loss of autonomy before the alliance as State and dependence on development agencies, for the current period, which incorporates discourses and practices through autonomous groups and their militants.

This work analizes the financing of Health Policies on the state of Rio Grande Do Norte, starting at the presumption that SUS is “Bombarded” by fiscal ajustments, as a neoliberal strategy to face capital crises.The trafectory of the financing of SUS demands the comprehension of two principles which are, in essence, contradictory: the “principle of universatility”, which is caracterized by the uncompromising defence of the fundaments of the Sanitary Reform, and the “principle of containment of social costs”, articulating the macroeconomic policy that has being developed in Brazil since the 1990s and which substantiantes itself on the 2000s.This last defends the reduction of the social costs, the maintanance of primary surplus and the privatization of public social services.

No fio da meada: um estudo acerca da precarização do trabalho na indústria têxtil

In line with the process of financialization and globalization of capital, which has intensified in all latitudes of the globe, the world of work is permeated by his determinations arising and also has been (re) setting from numerous changes expressed by example, in the unbridled expansion of temporary forms of work activities, and flexible outsourced by the growth of informality, forming a new morphology of work. However, regardless of how these forms are expressed in concrete materiality, there is something that unifies: all of them are marked by exponentiation of insecurity and hence the numerous negative effects on the lives of individuals who need to sell their labor power to survive. Given this premise, the present work is devoted to study, within the framework of the Brazilian particularities of transition between Fordism and Toyotism, what we call composite settings of the conditions and labor relations processed within the North river- textile industry Grande. To this end, guided by historical and dialectical materialism, we made use of social research in its qualitative aspect, using semi-structured interviews, in addition to literature review, information retrieval and use of field notes. From our raids, we note that between the time span stretching from the 1990s to the current year, the Natal textile industry has been undergoing a process of successive and intense changes in their modus operandi, geared specifically to the organization and labor management causing, concomitantly, several repercussions for the entire working class.

Expectativas Associadas ao Cuidar das Gerações Mais Velhas

A sociedade contemporânea é marcada por mudanças paradigmáticas, culturais, sócio-económicos e de valores que comportam transformações no indivíduo e na família. O cuidado informal intergeracional reflecte tais mudanças, tendo-se revelado importante conhecer as expectativas de adultos face à necessidade de cuidar das gerações mais velhas, assim como compreender e analisar as diferenças nas fratrias face às diversas expectativas associadas ao cuidado dos idosos. Este é um tipo de estudo transversal prospectivo de natureza quantitativa, utilizando como documentos de recolha de dados um inquérito por questionário de administração indirecta construído para o efeito. A amostra do estudo é constituída por adultos portugueses em idade activa (25 aos 65 anos), não cuidadores, com pelo menos um dos progenitores vivo. Contou com 186 participantes com uma média de idade de 32 anos, maioritariamente do sexo feminino (88%) e com habilitações literárias ao nível do ensino superior (91%). Os resultados indicam que todos os filhos apontam o amor e ternura como principal motivo expectável para cuidar. Os filhos únicos prevêem uma maior dificuldade a nível económico e ponderam uma maior procura de recursos exteriores, ao contrário dos membros de fratria que tendem a optar por uma estratégia de exclusividade. As rotinas domésticas, as actividades de lazer e a produtividade no trabalho são as principais áreas de vida que os inquiridos conjecturam serem afectadas. Optar por cuidar em família não pode ser penalizador para as famílias. No sentido de antecipar eventuais dificuldades no decurso do seu ciclo de vida, as famílias deverão ser estimuladas a pensar como conciliar a sua vida com a eventual necessidade de prestação de cuidados informais a idosos, devendo o Serviço Social assumir uma postura propositiva face às responsabilidades que as políticas públicas apresentam neste domínio, assim como para a definição e ampliação de programas que respondam efectivamente às necessidades das pessoas dependentes, dos cuidadores e das famílias.

Centros Sociais e Intervenção Comunitária

No actual contexto da sociedade da incerteza, agravado pelas consequências da crise económica e financeira global, assiste-se a um retomar de práticas de âmbito comunitário que comportam um conjunto de desafios à intervenção social e, consequentemente, ao Serviço Social como profissão nuclear da intervenção social. A presente dissertação visa por um lado, compreender, a partir de um estudo de caso centrado nos Centros Sociais Municipais de Santana, as transformações que se têm operado no âmbito da Intervenção Comunitária e por outro, desenvolver uma reflexão não só sobre as relações existentes entre a Intervenção Comunitária e os Centros Sociais, como “novos-velhos” paradigmas institucionais, mas também entre a Intervenção Comunitária e o Serviço Social de Comunidades. Partindo de um enfoque qualitativo, dentro da metodologia da grounded theory, privilegiou-se como técnicas a observação das relações sociais nos Centros Sociais Municipais e as entrevistas compreensivas em profundidade, tanto às técnicas superiores dos Centros Sociais, como à coordenadora. Adoptando uma postura reflexiva, interrogativa e problematizadora constante, percebeu-se que, efectivamente, a Intervenção Comunitária desenvolvida em Santana é, mais concretamente, uma actuação pluralista de âmbito comunitário, a qual resulta do processo de destradicionalização do Serviço Social de Comunidades, aproximando-se da Intervenção em Comunidades. Os Centros Sociais são locus privilegiados da intervenção de âmbito comunitário, na medida em que se têm recontextualizado, respondendo às (pseudo) transformações culturais, institucionais e políticas, legitimando assim uma prática profissional de funções mediadoras, dentro de um eixo normalizador.

Como a Fada Desvalorizada Lida com o Lar

Para compreender a auto-avaliação e avaliação social atribuída ao trabalho da mulher Doméstica, partiu-se da análise e interpretação de 8 Trajetórias Identitárias de Mulheres Domésticas Alentejanas que ao longo da sua vida tenham sido Domésticas a tempo inteiro, ou que de algum modo tenham conciliado ou conciliem a Dupla Tarefa. A Problematização do Trabalho realizado pela Mulher Doméstica considerou teorias de autores como Parsons e Daniel Bertaux, tendo sido a conceptualização do Trabalho Doméstico elaborada tendo por base Virgínia Ferreira;, Gules Lipovetsky e Ana Nunes de Almeida. A partir das narrativas exemplares e seguindo uma metodologia compreensiva qualitativa, através do Método de Escrita como Praxis Analítica, identificaram-se: algumas Lógicas de Acção; vários Territórios Sócio-Identitários; as Reacções sentidas pelas 8 narradoras nas suas Trajetórias e, ainda, as Estratégias adoptadas pelas Mulheres Domésticas Alentejanas na relação com o trabalho doméstico e com a dupla tarefa. Ao concluir a interpretação dos casos percebe-se que, para além da Condição de Doméstica comum entre todas as narradoras, existe ainda a predominância de alteração dos Territórios Sócio-Identitários Laboral, Escolar e Familiar. É clara a consciência destas mulheres quanto à desvalorização do Trabalho Doméstico pela Família e pela Sociedade. Neste sentido, é também negativa a auto-avaliação, das tarefas de diariamente realizam. Daí que seja unânime a vontade de libertação através da Dupla Tarefa, ou seja, a colocação profissional é vista como uma garantia de reconhecimento do seu trabalho e, também, um modo de autonomia económica e identitária.
