Resumo: Em toda a sua trajetória, Michael Löwy notabilizou-se pela flagrante disposição em reler diversos autores e visões de mundo do passado à luz das condições de possibilidade do cenário histórico contemporâneo - caracterizado, entre outras coisas, por um esgotamento do "progresso" capitalista e do modelo civilizatório vigente, como sugere a emergência vertiginosa da crise ecológica. Partindo desta constatação, o objetivo desta dissertação é apresentar e problematizar a defesa teórica e política de Michael Löwy da necessidade de uma ruptura do marxismo com as ideologias do progresso e com o paradigma civilizatório capitalista-moderno. A hipótese central é a de que o tema da crítica da modernidade - que se manifesta concretamente nos debates em torno do eco-socialismo - é o eixo a partir do qual se torna possível conferir concretude histórica à trajetória intelectual de Löwy: de seus primeiros trabalhos na década de 1960 até suas incursões mais recentes por diferentes expressões da recusa crítica e/ou utópica da modernidade, tais como a crítica benjaminiana da temporalidade histórica do "progresso" dos vencedores, a crítica weberiana e romântica da modernidade e, por fim, a rejeição utópico-religiosa do capitalismo moderno, presente em algumas expressões do messianismo judaico na Europa Central ou do cristianismo de libertação latino-americano
Abstract: Throughout his career, Michael Löwy was most notable by rereading several authors and worldviews from the past to the brightening possibilities of the actual times - characterized, among others, by the increasing lack of capitalist "progress" and the current model of civilization, as suggested by the vertiginous emergency of the ecological crisis. From this viewpoint, this dissertation's goal is to present and discuss Michael Löwy's theoretical and political defense of the rupture necessity of marxism from the progress ideologies and the modern-capitalism civilizacional paradigm. The central hypothesis is that the subject-matter of modernity's critique - which concret expression may be found on debates on eco-socialism - is the center line in which it will be possible to check out on 8 Michael Löwy's career its concret intellectual history: from his first works in the 60's till his most recent incursions on different expressions of critical and/or utopical modernity's refusal, such as benjaminian critiques to the winners "progressive" temporality, weberian and romantic critiques to modernity and, at last, the utopian-religious rejection of modern capitalism, present in some Central Europe jewish messianism expressions and in latin-american liberating christianity

Abstract:

The treatment of the history of modern vocabulary in historical and etymological dictionaries is generally disappointing, especially with respect to the processes by which the words came into being. The TLFi1 only provides the following information concerning the history of French capitalisme and capitaliste: "Capitalisme [...] Dér. de capital²"; suff. -isme*", "Capitaliste [...] Dér. de capital*; suff. -iste*". Such a treatment, which is inadequate even from a synchronic point of view (in the sense "a supporter of capitalism", capitaliste is derived from capitalisme by affix substitution), does not do justice to the manifold relationships that have developed between these two words and their common base capital in the course of the 300 years since the creation of Dutch Capitalist in 1621. The present paper retraces in detail the many steps of the unfolding of these two words in French. It is shown that each of their many senses constitutes a separate lexeme and must be provided with an etymology of its own. Particular attention is dedicated to the identification of the exact mechanism (borrowing, semantic extension, word formation) that was at work at each step.

Mestrado Bolonha em Ciências Empresariais
Hoje em dia o tema Sustentabilidade está muito presente no meio empresarial, e este estudo pretende avaliar se o sistema económico existente em Portugal – o Capitalismo – é compatível com o conceito de Sustentabilidade. Para além de investigar esta compatibilidade, este estudo pretende avaliar qual o efeito da adoção de medidas de Sustentabilidade no desempenho financeiro das empresas, assim como perceber se é possível existir um conceito denominado por “Capitalismo Sustentável” e se as empresas permitem a sua existência. Para averiguar estes temas, a metodologia utilizada foi a qualitativa e a quantitativa. Dentro do método qualitativo utilizou-se entrevistas semiestruturadas realizadas a 8 representantes de empresas de diferentes ramos de atuação, desde gestores e CEOs a diretores de departamentos de Sustentabilidade. O método quantitativo foi utilizado para dar resposta à questão que avalia o desempenho financeiro de uma empresa após adotar medidas de Sustentabilidade e este método foi utilizado através de relatório de Contas e de Sustentabilidade. Por fim, o estudo permitiu concluir que existe espaço na sociedade para o Capitalismo Sustentável sem afetar o desempenho financeiro de uma empresa – pelo contrário – os resultados mostraram que o desempenho financeiro é beneficiado, sendo ainda possível apresentar o conceito de Capitalismo Sustentável como um modelo económico que visa a obtenção de lucro sempre com a preocupação de preservar os recursos ambientais, inquietando-se com questões importantes para a sociedade sem nunca comprometer as necessidades das futuras gerações.
Nowadays, “Sustainability” is a theme that is very present in the business environment and this study aims to assess whether the economic system existent in Portugal – Capitalism – is compatible with the concept of Sustainability. In addition to investigating this compatibility, this study also intends to assess the effect of adopting Sustainability measures on the financial performance of companies as well as to understand if it is possible to create a concept denominated “Sustainable Capitalism” and if companies allow its existence. To investigate these concepts, the methodology used was qualitative and quantitative. Within the qualitative method, semi-structured interviews were used with 8 representatives of companies from different fields of activity, from managers and CEOs to directors of Sustainability departments. The quantitative method was used to answer the question that assesses the financial performance of a company after adopting Sustainability measures and this method was used through accounting and sustainability reporting. Finally, this study has concluded that there is space in society for Sustainable Capitalism without affecting the financial performance of a company – contrariwise – the results showed that financial performance benefits from it and it is still possible to present the concept of Sustainable Capitalism as an economic model that seeks to obtain profit while trying to preserve environmental resources and concern about important societal issues without ever compromising the needs of the future society.

O objetivo do presente trabalho consiste na elucidaÃÃo da configuraÃÃo de poder polÃtico e econÃmico mundial, corporificada institucionalmente nos organismos interestatais, dos quais a presente pesquisa privilegia como foco o Banco Mundial, instituiÃÃo financeira multilateral que vem impondo aos paÃses perifÃricos reformas em seus sistemas educacionais, no sentido de dotar o capital de mais uma imensa Ãrea de reproduÃÃo e de acumulaÃÃo, em que pese as funestas consequÃncias sociais dessa apropriaÃÃo de uma esfera de fundamental importÃncia para o funcionamento das sociedades contemporÃneas. No que respeita aos procedimentos metodolÃgicos, a presente pesquisa constitui um estudo bibliogrÃfico e documental, estruturado sob o referencial teÃrico-metodolÃgico marxiano, iniciando, no primeiro capÃtulo, com uma revisÃo bibliogrÃfica da categoria crise no modo de produÃÃo capitalista Ã luz de Marx e seus seguidores, com vistas Ã apreensÃo dos fundamentos teÃricos da dinÃmica da crise estrutural do capital. No segundo capÃtulo Ã feito o exame do neoliberalismo e da reestruturaÃÃo produtiva como saÃda estratÃgica da crise estrutural do capital e no terceiro Ã analisada a atuaÃÃo do Banco Mundial, como instituiÃÃo multilateral Ã qual foi concedido o mandato de administrar a crise estrutural do capital, nos marcos do modo de produÃÃo vigente, no sentido de instrumentalizar o sistema educacional dos paÃses da periferia capitalista com vistas Ã atenuaÃÃo e/ou ao deslocamento das contradiÃÃes intrÃnsecas Ãquele modo de produÃÃo, atÃ onde for possÃvel. A conclusÃo da investigaÃÃo aponta na direÃÃo do imperativo da substituiÃÃo do Banco Mundial, como instituiÃÃo responsÃvel pela formulaÃÃo de polÃticas educacionais aplicÃveis aos paÃses perifÃricos, por organizaÃÃes ou instÃncias deliberativas e decisÃrias alternativas, que reflitam a diversidade polÃtica, Ãtica e cultural daqueles paÃses e pugnem por seus soberanos interesses, subordinando as injunÃÃes mercantis em uma Ãrea vital para o desenvolvimento socioeconÃmico dessas formaÃÃes sociais.

A discussão da problemática ambiental, não somente pelo viés ecologista, mas no entrecruzamento com a questão do trabalho, reconhecendo este como o processo metabólico que favorece o intercâmbio entre homem e natureza, é o que nos ocupa nesse texto. O processo de reestruturação produtiva do capital desencadeou uma crescente dilapidação da natureza. Não obstante, a relação homem x natureza é condicionada pelas relações sociais engendradas pelo modo de produção capitalista. Assim, urge estudar a relação sociedade-natureza através da relação capital x trabalho com as atenções centradas na dialética da dinâmica do fenômeno do trabalho com a dinâmica geográfica e vice-versa.
The discussion of environmental, not only at ecologist sloping, but in the crossing with a the question of the work, recognizing this how the metabolism process as collaborate the inter change among man and nature, is this ourselves in that text. The process of the productive re-structure of the nature. No obstructive, the man x nature report is stipulate at social relations engender at mode of the production capitalist. So, is necessary to teach the society-nature report through of the capital x work report with the atentions concentrate of the dialect of the from dynamic of the work with the dynamic geografic and vice-versa.

Resumo: A fim de lançar bases para a compreensão da riqueza na sociedade capitalista, em especial os limites ao gênero humano que emergem dela, a dissertação apresentada retoma os escritos de Adam Smith sobre riqueza. Em particular, o trabalho está limitado ao exame da Riqueza das Nações, obra na qual o autor dedica-se à defesa do que é riqueza na sociedade de seu tempo, esmiuçando o princípio geral que define esta riqueza e as causas fundamentais para a expansão dela. Através da recuperação deste princípio geral e das causas fundamentais para a geração e a expansão da riqueza, mostrou-se a maneira pela qual o autor apreendeu e conceituou a riqueza em sua época. Efetuada essa demonstração, o trabalho expôs a concepção de progresso, expressa na defesa de determinado comportamento humano, que emerge do modo como o autor apreendeu e conceituou a riqueza. Da demonstração da relação entre riqueza e progresso, o presente trabalho procurou problematizar o fundamento desta relação para Smith, a fim de pensar, a partir deste autor, tanto a maneira de apreender e conceituar a riqueza na sociedade capitalista quanto os limites ao progresso que podem emergir do modo como se compreende esta riqueza
Abstract: In order to lay foundations for the understanding of wealth in capitalist society, particularly the limits to the human being that emerge from this wealth, the work analyses the writings of Adam Smith about wealth. In particular, the work is limited to the examination of the Wealth of Nations, a work in which the author is dedicated to the defense of what is wealth in the society of his time ferreting out the general principle that defines this wealth and the underlying causes for the progress it. Through the recovery of this general principle and the fundamental causes for the generation of wealth and progress, we aim to show the way in which Smith seized the wealth and conceptualized it at his time. After accomplishing this goal, the work aims to show the design progress of mankind (progress), expressed in the defense of a particular human behavior, which emerges from the way that Smith seized the wealth and conceptualized it. Demonstrating the relationship between wealth and progress, this study sought to question the foundation of this relation for Smith to think, from this author, both how to grasp and conceptualize wealth in capitalist society and the limits to the progress that can emerge from the way is understands this wealth

Resumo: A inclinação política e econômica realizada pelos governos liderados pelo Partido dos Trabalhadores, denominada neodesenvolvimentista é o objeto deste trabalho. O objetivo é identificar os impactos do modelo sobre os trabalhadores. Em caminho oposto ao trilhado pelos defensores do conceito - que insistem em divulgar números de empregos criados, aumento do salário mínimo, políticas sociais e estratégias que visam impulsionar o crescimento econômico -, partimos do entendimento de que o modelo neodesenvolvimentista emerge em um cenário de crise estrutural do capital que tem como consequência o desemprego industrial e a perda da potencialidade civilizadora que caracterizou o capital após a Segunda Guerra em países da Europa ocidental. A ilusão de se resolver a "questão social" que afeta a maior parte da população brasileira a partir da intensificação das relações capitalistas é revelada, neste texto, quando percebemos a predominância dos resultantes da crise estrutural, a permanência de um Estado autocrático e de um projeto político-institucional que visa reduzir as reivindicações dos movimentos populares e dos trabalhadores a políticas públicas e inclusão no mercado por via do consumo. Através desses pressupostos é que podemos sugerir que o neodesenvolvimentismo e sua pretensão social não passam de uma farsa
Abstract: The political and economic inclination made by governments led by the Workers Party, called new-developmentalism is the object of this work. The goal is to identify the model of the impacts on workers. In the opposite way to trod by the concept advocates - who insist on disclosing numbers of jobs created, the minimum wage increase, social policies and strategies to boost economic growth - we start from the understanding that the new-developmentalism model emerges in scenario a crisis structural capital that results in the structural unemployment and loss of civilizing potential that characterized the capital after World War II in Western European countries. The illusion of solving the "social issue" that affects most of the population from the intensification of capitalist relations is revealed in this text, when we noticed the predominance of the resulting structural crisis, the permanence of an autocratic state and a political-institutional project that aims to reduce the demands of the popular movements of workers and the public policies and inclusion in the market via consumption. Through these assumptions we can suggest that the new-developmentalism and social pretension are just a scam

Resumo: A incorporação no Brasil do padrão de civilização ocidental foi lenta e gradual. A construção da sociedade nacional sob uma ordem burguesa e moderna nunca deixou de refletir os séculos de exploração colonial, o sangue indígena e negro derramado, a devastação ambiental e a superexploração da força de trabalho. Olhando-se retrospectivamente a partir o século XXI, o cenário parece ter se alterado pouco, sem rupturas profundas. O capitalismo brasileiro historicamente foi e ainda é dependente em relação aos países hegemônicos do sistema econômico mundial, fato que resulta em boa parte das mazelas que afligem a heterogênea classe trabalhadora nacional. Busca-se evidenciar neste trabalho que o chamado neodesenvolvimentismo guarda enorme distância do nacional desenvolvimentismo que se deu entre 1930 e 1980. O neodesenvolvimentismo, a partir dos anos 2000, sob os governos Lula e Rousseff, é na verdade uma adaptação contemporânea do capitalismo dependente brasileiro dentro dos marcos econômicos e ideológicos do neoliberalismo global. Por isso, o ciclo recente da economia e da política nacional aprofundam as condicionantes estruturais da dependência através da reprimarização econômica e da liberalização financeira.
Abstract: The incorporation in Brazil of the pattern of Western civilization was gradual. The construction of national society, bourgeois and modern, has always reflected centuries of colonial exploitation, bloodshed, environmental devastation and overexploitation of labor. In the 21st century, few changes, without deep ruptures. Brazilian capitalism was and is dependent on the hegemonic countries of the world economic system, from which the social problems that afflict the national working class result. This work aims to demonstrate that new developmentalism is very different from the classical developmentalism. Starting in the 2000s under the Lula and Rousseff governments, new developmentalism is, in fact, a contemporary adaptation of Brazilian dependent capitalism within the economic and ideological order of global neoliberalism. Hence, the recent pattern of national economy and politics deepens the structural constraints of dependency through economic "reprimarization" and financial liberalization.

This study investigate the process for Agricultural Policy on Agricultural Space. Thus extols is the understanding about the changes arising from the introduction, in the Agricultural Space, new actions and new objects that provide a continuity of the expropriator logic of capitalism on the socio-spatial structure. The new actions and new objects in the space created by Public Policy Agrarian increase the duality between Capital and Space. Additionally, the actions and objects new insert a new opposite dynamic on the family farming strutucture, that is based on the replacement of traditional agricultural practices by practicing modern and specialized capitalist farming. The Agricultural Space organization form in Simão Dias city, with the introduction of Agriculture inefficient, shows clearly the modern logic capitalist in which stimulates productivity, unclearly the social-spatial structure through new actions and new foreign objects in the order of space and production of traditional forms of farming community, simãodiense family farmers. The new actions and new objects rival with the objects and actions created by the previous form of family farming, causing the extinction of local agricultural knowledge and enabling the introduction of commercial logic of the capitalist production structure and social-space of simãodiense agrarian farming.
O presente trabalho busca investigar o processo transformador das Políticas Agrícolas sobre o Espaço Agrário. Desta forma, tenta-se entender as transformações decorrentes da introdução, no Espaço Agrário, de novas ações e novos objetos que proporcionam a continuidade da lógica expropriatória do capitalismo sobre a estrutura sócio-espacial. As novas ações e os novos objetos criados no Espaço Agrário pelas Políticas Públicas aumentam a dualidade existente entre Capital e o Trabalho. Ademais, as ações e os objetos novos inserem uma nova dinâmica conflitiva sobre a agricultura familiar, baseada na substituição da prática agrícola tradicional pela prática moderna e especializada capitalista. A forma de Organização do Espaço Agrário no município de Simão Dias, com a introdução de Políticas Agrícolas ineficientes, demonstra, claramente, o alcance da lógica capitalista modernizadora e produtivista que dinamiza, incoerentemente, a estrutura socioeconômica através de novas ações e de novos objetos estranhos ao molde do espaço e das formas tradicionais de produção das comunidades de agricultores familiares simãodienses. As novas ações e os novos objetos rivalizam com os objetos e ações anteriores criados pela forma familiar de produção agrícola. Isto ocasiona a extinção do saber agrícola local possibilitando a introdução do processo de expropriação capitalista do valor.

In the current systemic crisis, economic policy is directed to correct the consequences of the functioning of this metabolism, but within the limits of the capital. From this perspective, decision makers propose trade policies, agricultural and industrial to ensure conditions for economic growth. However, as a dead end, there is failure of the State in giving efficacy to the operation of all segments of the economy, especially given the budget constraint. Public managers are forced to seek external resources, resuming the cycle of political allegiance to the interests of international financial and banking representatives, installed in so-called multilateral. The complex ideological capital comes into play in trying to convince society that the paths taken by governments are inevitable, and that capitalism can be "humanized", even with the realization of the growing inequalities caused by historical irrationalism of the production process of capital . In this sense, emerging concepts that attempt to demonstrate the compatibility of the system to real human needs. This ideological offensive is intended to legitimize the capital. The so-called third sector has a special highlight with the concept of corporate social responsibility. It creates a political environment in which the inevitable mix-up with new illusions offered by and often funding the metabolism of capital in order to perpetuate this system. In this context, political elites, and considerable portions of the academy, embark on "waves of capitalist optimism," while the sociometabolismo capital expands its historical limits, driving forces postponing their collapse, but that cause human suffering and ecological stress. Wars are disseminated to strengthen the deadly war industry and the automobile industry; and devastating the environment of which depends the capital system. In this scenario disassemble, propositions emerge around a "new social pact" in order to minimize the adverse effects of the dynamics of reproduction of capital. The business class is called to exercise its role through the discourse that appeals to social responsibility programs, in order to intervene directly in the "social question". The core of this research is precisely this point. Although there is considerable scholarship on the phenomenon of Social Responsibility and Corporate Citizenship, there is also an evident lack of this approach focused on the banking sector in Brazil. The importance of rentier capital increased ownership of shares in the wealth produced by all of Brazilian society, justifies a sociological research project on Social Responsibility in the domestic financial sector. In this sense, it was decided to perform a dynamic approach to the "Corporate Citizenship" in the banking industry, specifically in the Bank of Brazil. As this is a key institution, is important analyze of the impacts of this strategy fetish of capitalist reproduction, in order to evaluate the social legitimization of rentier capital in Brazil. In this scenario of the abundance of the discourse on social responsibility there exist a progressive impoverishment of professional work in this segment in Brazil. There is a dramatic mismatch between rhetoric and practice because of the trend of deepening vulnerability of the working conditions of the Brazilian bank worker, from the 1990's. In the specific case of the Bank of Brazil, the first initiative of the institution was to conform to the principles of the UNO and the Ethos Institute, aiming to align their domestic policies to this new strategy of domination of capital. The purpose is to place the Bank in the ideological sphere of corporate social responsibility, just as with its partners in the private financial intercapitalist competition. Indeed, in the internal ambit of the Bank of Brazil, there is a policy to adjust its functional segments to the doctrine of Social Corporate Responsibility. The concepts of this doctrine is presented as something inexorable. There are no alternatives. The Bank of Brazil operates in a highly competitive market, the segment featuring the dominance of financial capital accumulation today. For this reason it can not fail to incorporate the technological advances organizational. For employees there is no alternative but to adapt to this new set of ideas proposed by the metabolism of capital
Na crise sist?mica contempor?nea, a pol?tica econ?mica ? direcionada para corrigir as consequ?ncias do funcionamento deste metabolismo, por?m dentro dos limites do capital. Nessa perspectiva, os tomadores de decis?o prop?em pol?ticas comerciais, agr?colas e industriais a fim de garantir condi??es para o crescimento econ?mico. Todavia, tal como numa rua sem sa?da, constata-se a insufici?ncia do Estado em conferir efetividade para o funcionamento de todos os segmentos da economia, sobretudo, em face da limita??o or?ament?ria. Os gestores p?blicos s?o for?ados a buscar recursos externos, retomando o ciclo de submiss?o das pol?ticas aos interesses da banca financeira internacional e de seus representantes, instalados nos chamados organismos multilaterais. O complexo ideol?gico do capital entra em a??o na tentativa de convencer a sociedade que os caminhos tomados pelos governos s?o inevit?veis, e que o capitalismo pode ser ―humanizado‖, mesmo com a constata??o das crescentes desigualdades historicamente causadas pelo irracionalismo do modo de produ??o do capital. Nesse sentido, emergem conceitos que tentam demonstrar a compatibilidade do sistema ?s reais necessidades humanas. Essa ofensiva ideol?gica tem por finalidade legitimar o capital. O chamado Terceiro Setor tem especial destaque junto com o conceito de responsabilidade social das empresas. Cria-se um ambiente pol?tico em que o inexor?vel mistura-se com as novas miragens proporcionadas e muitas vezes financiadas pelo metabolismo do capital, de modo a enquadrar as pessoas neste sistema que se pretende eternizado. Em tal contexto, as elites pol?ticas, e consider?vel fra??o da academia, embarcam em ―ondas de otimismo capitalista‖, enquanto o sociometabolismo do capital expande seus limites hist?ricos, acionando for?as que postergam seu colapso, mas que causam sofrimentos humanos e desgastes ecol?gicos. Guerras s?o disseminadas para fortalecer a mort?fera ind?stria b?lica e a ind?stria automobil?stica; e devasta-se o meio ambiente, do qual depende o sistema do capital. Nesse cen?rio de desmonte, emergem proposi??es em torno de um ―novo pacto social‖ como forma de minimizar os efeitos perversos da din?mica da reprodu??o do capital. A classe empresarial ? convocada para exercer seu protagonismo pela via do discurso que apela para programas de responsabilidade social, para assim intervir de forma direta na chamada ―quest?o social‖. ? justamente neste ponto que se inclui o cerne da presente investiga??o. Embora exista uma consider?vel produ??o acad?mica sobre o fen?meno da Responsabilidade Social e da Cidadania Empresarial, tamb?m existe uma evidente car?ncia dessa abordagem, voltada para o segmento banc?rio no Brasil. A import?ncia do capital rentista na apropria??o crescente de parcelas da riqueza produzida pelo conjunto da sociedade brasileira, justifica uma investiga??o sociol?gica sobre os projetos de Responsabilidade Social no segmento financeiro nacional. Nesse sentido, optou-se por realizar uma abordagem da din?mica da ―Cidadania Empresarial‖ no setor banc?rio, precisamente no Banco do Brasil. Como se trata de uma institui??o-chave, a an?lise dos impactos dessa estrat?gia fetichista da reprodu??o capitalista, permite avaliar as consequ?ncias sociais da legitima??o do capital rentista no Brasil. Nesse cen?rio de profus?o do discurso da Responsabilidade Social, situa-se a progressiva precariza??o do trabalho neste segmento profissional no Brasil. Constata-se um desencontro dram?tico entre o discurso e a pr?tica em virtude do aprofundamento da tend?ncia ? vulnerabilidade das condi??es laborais do trabalhador banc?rio brasileiro, desde os anos de 1990. No caso espec?fico do Banco do Brasil, a primeira iniciativa da institui??o foi se conformar aos postulados da ONU e do Instituto Ethos, objetivando alinhar suas pol?ticas internas a essa nova estrat?gia de domina??o do capital. O prop?sito ? inserir o Banco na esfera ideol?gica da responsabilidade social das empresas, do mesmo modo como ocorreu com seus parceiros da concorr?ncia intercapitalista privada financeira. Com efeito, no ?mbito interno do Banco do Brasil, surge uma pol?tica voltada para adequar seus segmentos funcionais ? doutrina da Responsabilidade Socioempresarial. Os conceitos da doutrina s?o apresentados como algo inexor?vel. N?o h? alternativas. O Banco do Brasil atua num mercado altamente competitivo; no segmento que caracteriza a domin?ncia financeira da acumula??o de capital na atualidade. Por este motivo n?o pode deixar de incorporar os avan?os tecnol?gicos organizacionais. Para seus funcion?rios n?o h? alternativas, a n?o ser adaptar-se ao conjunto de propostas deste novo ide?rio do metabolismo do capital

A hipótese desta tese é a de que as estratégias assumidas pelo Estado frente as alterações climáticas (em suas mais distintas dimensões), todo o seu conjunto normativo e político voltado ao tema, é resultado de um processo histórico de produção da natureza e divisão internacional do trabalho com hierarquias, contradições e conflitos produzidos e mobilizados pelos sujeitos que estruturam o capitalismo climático. Buscando a comprovação da tese, foram analisados um conjunto de normativas, diretrizes, planos e políticas públicas da União Europeia e do Brasil de modo comparado. Em um primeiro momento fizemos uma análise descritiva desses instrumentos políticos e legais se configurando como uma primeira aproximação analítica do tema. Para compreender de modo dialético o caráter contraditório inerente à relação sociedade e natureza adotou-se estratégias como a análise escalar da governança multinível, estruturando a tese em uma primeira parte que apresenta a tese do capitalismo climático, uma segunda que se fundamenta na antítese, por meio da crítica da produção capitalista da natureza. A síntese desses processos se deu por meio da identificação dos sujeitos envolvidos na formulação de políticas e por meio da comparação destes com o mercado de energia eólica no Brasil. Atravessa por toda a tese, novas e antigas formas pelas quais o capitalismo se expande e se reproduz no espaço. Distintas temporalidades se confundem, também, quando o Estado se coloca como um meio pelo qual o processo de produção da natureza se efetiva, ora emprestando seu aparato técnico-político, ora atendendo aos interesses do capital “modernizando” novas normas para que o capitalismo climático se reproduza. Conclui-se que o conjunto normativo e as políticas públicas sobre alterações climáticas estão voltadas à transição do atual estágio da economia capitalista para uma economia de baixo carbono. As políticas não são capazes de oferecer a sociedade uma alternativa que não seja voltada e orientada para o mercado das alterações climáticas e os interesses corporativos continuam prevalecendo sobre os interesses coletivos. Dessa forma a dicotomia da relação sociedade e natureza prevalece e com isso, a natureza e o clima continuam sendo encarados como uma mercadoria, como recurso e como insumo de produção. O capitalismo climático herda um complexo geográfico do qual tenta se apropriar para a sua reprodução. Os recursos do Estado são deslocados para a produção do espaço, principalmente aqueles voltados para a produção de energia ou para o incremento técnico e tecnológico de países em desenvolvimento. Isso ocorre mediante flexibilização das estruturas mutantes no tempo e espaço. Os sujeitos que produzem o capitalismo climático são os mesmos que produzem o capitalismo do clima no Brasil com destaque para o Pacto Global pelo Clima e o Conselho Empresarial para o Desenvolvimento Sustentável do Banco Mundial. As empresas do setor energético e financeiro possuem grande relevância e destaque nessa rede. Dessa forma, é imprescindível pensar em novas estruturas e novas relações sociais inerentes a novos modos de se produzir, caso contrário as políticas e as ações continuarão refletindo um paliativo aos problemas ambientais sem de fato apontar caminhos para a solução efetiva dos problemas.
The hypothesis of this thesis is that the strategies adopted by the State face of climate change (in its most different dimensions), all of normative and political set of issues, is the result of a historical process of nature production and international division of labor with hierarchies, contradictions and conflicts produced and mobilized by the agents that structure climate capitalism. To prove the thesis, were analyzed a set of norms, guidelines, plans and public policies of European Union and Brazil in a comparative way. At first, we did a descriptive analysis of political and legal instruments, being configured as a first analytical approximation of the theme. To understand in a dialectical way the inherent contradiction in the relationship between society and nature, have been adopted strategies as the scalar analysis of multilevel governance, structuring the thesis in a first part that presents the climate capitalism thesis. A second part present the antithesis, criticizing the capitalist production of nature. The synthesis of processes occurred through the identification of the agents involved in formulation of policies comparing with the wind energy market in Brazil. In whole thesis, were analyzed old and new ways in which capitalism expands and reproduces in space. Distinct temporalities are confused when State stand itself as a mean by which the process of the production of nature is effective, sometimes lending technical-political apparatus, other serving the interests of capital by "modernizing" new norms for climate capitalism to reproduce. Concluded that the normative set and public policies on climate change are geared towards the transition from the current stage of the capitalism to a low carbon economy. Policies are not able to offer society a non-market alternative to climate change, so corporate interests continue to prevail over collective interests. The dichotomy of relationship between society and nature prevails and nature and climate continue as a commodity, as a resource and as an input of production. Climate capitalism inherits a geographical complex from which tries to appropriate for reproduction. The resources of State shifted to production space, especially those geared towards the production of energy or technical and technological increase of developing countries. This occurs through flexibilization of structures in time and space. The agents who produce global climate capitalism are the same ones who produce climate capitalism in Brazil, with emphasis to United Nations Global Compact and the World Business Council for Sustainable Development. Companies of energy and financial sector have great relevance and highlight in this network. It is essential to think in new structures and social relations inherent to new mode of producing, otherwise policies and actions will continue to reflect a palliative to environmental problems without pointing out ways to solve problems.

Abstract:

This thesis describes the process of concentration and centralisation of the top New Zealand corporate class fraction at three levels - the corporate agent, the corporate agency and the corporate structure. These three different perspectives are seen, first, at the level of the empirical evidence of concentration and centralisation over time, and second, at the level of theoretical explanation and lastly, at the level of the sociology of knowledge, that is, how the theories themselves locate within economic cycles. The two empirical bases of this study are the survey of the top thirty companies directors and the top thirty companies networks of.1966, 1976 and 1986. A centrality analysis used on the latter three data sources, found that at the peak of the longwave (1966) when accumulation was high within the protected New Zealand economy, there were few corporate interlocks, suggesting that centralisation (the destruction of already formed capitals) was not a problem. But by the economic downturn (1986) corporate interlocks had proliferated reflecting the insecure nature of the corporate economy in crisis. The main conclusions drawn from the survey and the centralisation data sources positively corroborate the Marxist thesis that the corporate class fraction (as agents of capitalism) are in a free market economy as much directive as reactive to the state, that banks operate at direct and indirect levels of intervention on this class fraction and that there is some evidence of corporate class cohesion.

Mostramos neste projeto como o movimento cooperativista e associativista se configurou como uma organização dos homens, que percorreu desde a Antiguidade até os dias atuais apresentando inúmeras configurações e diferentes processos de trabalho e como foi atravessado por questões políticas, sociais, culturais. Entendemos ainda que estes empreendimentos foram constituídos por movimentações, recriações constantes, ao invés de práticas estanques e sedentárias. A perspectiva que adotamos neste trabalho teve como foco os empreendimentos populares em detrimento das grandes empresas e conglomerados. Neste sentido analisamos três aspectos e teorizações que os ideais socialistas assumiram para auxiliar o movimento dos trabalhadores, a saber: o pensamento marxista, o pensamento anarquista e as concepções dos autores da Economia Solidária e Popular. Examinamos também as contribuições da Psicologia, através de referenciais como a Psicodinâmica do Trabalho e Psicossociologia e a atuação dos profissionais psi junto ao movimento cooperativista e associativista no campo das organizações, da saúde mental e das Incubadoras Tecnológicas. Utilizamos uma metodologia dialética para compreender as contradições entre o movimento cooperativista e associativista e o modo de produção capitalista, tendo em vista a possibilidade daquele se constituir como uma estratégia de superação e resistência e/ou como um subproduto e efeito deste.
We will show in this project how the cooperative and associative movement was configured as an organization of men which has been in course since Antiquity until nowadays, presenting several configurations and forms of work organization. In the same way we will show how it got involved with political issues; social and cultural. We will understand also that these enterprises are constituted by processes and movements, constant recreations, in instead of tight and sedentary practices. The perspective adopted by us in this project will bring into focus the popular movements and enterprises over the big companies and conglomerates. In this work we will analyze three configurations which the socialist ideals took on in order to help the worker’s movement, namely the Marxist thought, the anarchist thought and the Popular and Solidarity Economy’s authors´ conceptions. In addition we will examine the contributions of Psychology through theoretical references such as Psychodynamics of work and Social Psychology, and the performance of these workers along with the cooperative and associative movement in the fields of organizations, mental health and technology based incubators. We will use a dialectic methodology in order to examine the contradictory relationship between the associative and cooperative movement and the capitalist means of production, in view of the possibility of the former constitutes as a strategy of overcoming and resistance and/or as a byproduct or effect of the latter.

Resumo: A presente Dissertação tem como objetivo debater o novo momento da reificação da consciência do trabalhador a partir de algumas reflexões feitas acerca das novas e velhas formas de controle promovidas pela gestão do trabalho toyotista. A partir do estudo das pesquisas empíricas elaboradas sobre as empresas de telemarketing brasileiras no campo das Ciências Sociais, notamos que a gestão do trabalho na atualidade, quando compreendida sob a ótica do controle, apesar de fortemente marcada por práticas tayloristas-fordistas, não pode mais ser caracterizada dessa maneira, uma vez que tais práticas existem como uma forma de promover aquilo que define o toyotismo como a forma contemporânea de gestão do trabalho: o envolvimento. Reforçado pelo contexto de ascensão do neoliberalismo e dos sindicatos neocorporativos, o envolvimento, enquanto principal forma de controle da gestão toyotista, acaba por exigir uma nova atitude (disposição) do trabalhador perante o trabalho. Baseando-se na busca de novas respostas aos problemas e desafios impostos pelo cotidiano a partir da mobilização total e incessante do corpo e da mente pela e para a empresa, argumentamos que tal atitude constitui o novo momento da reificação na medida em que acaba por exigir do trabalhador obediência frente a uma segunda natureza que o domina e o controla de modo a aprisioná-lo nos limites históricos da sociedade regida pelo capital.
Abstract: The objective of this thesis is to debate the new era of reification of worker consciousness from some reflections made from the new and old forms of control promoted by the Toyota system of labor management. From the empirical studies on Brazilian telemarketing companies in the area of Social Sciences, we note that current labor management, when understood from the perspective of control, despite being strongly marked by Fordist- Taylorist practices, can't be characterized in this manner as such practices exist as a way to promote that which defines Toyotism as the contemporary form of labor management; worker involvement. Re-enforced in the context of the growth of neo-liberalism and neocorporativist unions, involvement, the main form of Toyotist control, molds a new attitude (disposition) in the worker in relation to work. Based on the search for new responses to problems and challenges imposed everyday from the incessant and total mobilization of the body and mind by and for the company, we argue that such an attitude constitutes a new era of reification in that it molds worker obedience in a second nature in which they are dominated and controlled in a way that imprisons them within the historical limits of a society ruled by capital.

Resumo: As economias capitalistas apresentam, recorrentemente, situações em que nem todas as mercadorias são vendidas, aspecto que nem sempre é levado em conta pela teoria ortodoxa. O objetivo do trabalho é fazer uma análise teórica de macroeconomia dinâmica para ver o que gera esse problema e o que permite que ele seja contornado. Defende-se na tese que: i) não só a possibilidade de haver reserva de valor que gera esse problema, mas também o fato da produção distribuir um poder de compra menor do que o preço de oferta agregada, por conta do lucro, causando a necessidade de que ocorram gastos autônomos em relação ao poder de compra distribuído para que as duas variáveis ¿ preço de oferta agregada e poder de compra ¿ possam se igualar; ii) a realização econômica no sistema depende de um permanente crescimento dos passivos (e.g. crédito), com novos recursos sendo criados e direcionados para a circulação das mercadorias. Porém, a implicação direta da resolução do problema no período corrente é a ampliação do problema para os períodos seguintes, devido aos efeitos causados por essa solução nos balanços patrimoniais ¿ ativos e passivos. A metodologia utilizada partirá de uma revisão bibliográfica sobre o tema da realização econômica, passando para a construção de modelos teóricos simplificados, com o intuito de verificar em que circunstâncias ocorrem o problema da realização e, por fim, apresentará as características que aproximam a resolução desse problema, pelo sistema capitalista, ao mecanismo de funcionamento das pirâmides financeiras. Para tanto, essa pesquisa estudará não só os fluxos econômicos, como também os determinantes das decisões que envolvem os estoques financeiros e de riqueza
Abstract: Capitalist economies have, repeatedly, situations where not all the goods are sold, an aspect that is not always taken into account by the orthodox theory. The objective is to make a theoretical analysis of dynamic macroeconomics to see what generates this problem and allowing it to be bypassed. It is argued in the thesis that: i) not only the possibility of a store of value that generates this problem, but also the fact of production distribute less purchasing power than the aggregate offer price, on account of profit, causing need for autonomous spending to occur in relation to purchasing power distributed so that the two variables - aggregate offer price and purchasing power - can match; ii) the realization in the system depends on a constant increase in liabilities (eg credit), with new features being created and directed to the movement of goods. However, the direct implication of the resolution of the problem in the current period is the expansion of the problem for the following periods due to the effects caused by this solution in the balance sheet - assets and liabilities. The methodology start with a literature review on the topic of realization, reaching the construction of simplified theoretical models in order to ascertain under what circumstances occur the realization problem and finally present the characteristics approaching the resolution of this problem, by the capitalist system, as the operation mechanism of pyramids schemes. Therefore, this research will study not only the economic flows, as well as the determinants of decisions involving financial and wealth stocks

Subjacente a essa hipótese está a de que as potencialidades explicativas das contribuições sobre o caráter autocrático da dominação burguesa nos países de capitalismo dependente são intensificadas com o recrudescimento da crise estrutural do sistema do capital. Para essas reflexões, o trabalho se dedica à análise das categorias centrais para o entendimento da autocracia burguesa segundo Florestan Fernandes. Assim a autocracia burguesa é aqui entendida como a expressão política máxima e síntese das contradições do tipo de capitalismo aqui possível, o capitalismo dependente, que mantém a extrema concentração de riqueza e de poder político presentes desde o período colonial.
This work aims to recover the concept of bourgeois autocracy present in the work A Revolução Burguesa no Brasil: ensaio de interpretação sociológica, Florestan Fernandes, for today we start from the assumption of its concept for questioning about the nature of democracy in Brazil. Underlying this hypothesis is that the explanatory potential of contributions on the autocratic character of bourgeois rule in the countries of dependent capitalism are intensified with the intensification of capital's structural crisis of the system. To these reflections, the work is dedicated to the analysis of the main categories for understanding the bourgeois autocracy under Florestan Fernandes. Thus the bourgeois autocracy is understood here as the maximum political expression and synthesis of the contradictions of the type of capitalism here possible, dependent capitalism, which keeps the extreme concentration of wealth and political power present since the colonial period.

Abstract:

The thesis critically appropriates the collaborative philosophy of Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari to argue that the general tendency of capitalism is towards the disintegration of high-level control structures (for instance, the nation-state). This disintegration does not entail a movement towards total chaos or anarchy. I argue that capital generates its own guidance mechanisms, but ones that act at a low-level, and respond flexibly to changing conditions (an instance of micro-politics). One of the difficulties of this project stems from the fact that the canon of philosophical discourse itself operates as a high-level control structure. In Marx, the development of capital is controlled by a secularized Hegelian dialectic that determines the outcome of capital in socialism. For Freud, the low level organization of the unconscious is subjected to high-level control through the universality of the Oedipus complex. By addressing the need for new philosophical instruments to understand capitalism, the thesis produces critiques of Marx and Freud, and advances a philosophy of economics by examining the function of axiomatics. Moreover, in critiquing presupposed structures (for example, the unconscious as a theatre of representation), the thesis argues for an immanent system (mulliplicity) of interaction within capitalism. The research undertaken to complete the thesis has consisted of contemporary experiments in complexity theory, and current socio/economic analyses of labour markets. Of particular interest has been the current deindustrialization that has taken place in the west coast of the United States. With the influx of a periphery into the core area of Los Angeles, the current role of urban politics and minor literatures (most notably Shakur's autobiography) unleash desire into the circuit of the city. I conclude with a re-examination of micro political/economic movements that have manifested themselves into the economy of Los Angeles. By decoding locally impoverished economic and cultural sectors, emergent properties have sprouted by realigning subversive activity onto the apex of capital (an immanence to capitalist processes).

Abstract:

Cognitive capitalism -or the “third capitalism” succeeding mercantilist capitalism and industrial capitalism- has been developed not long ago in the form of a Marxist research programme. This study, following in the footsteps of operaismo (workerism), undertakes a post-operaist (post-workerist) investigation of the state of socio-economic affairs that has been widely transformed with the rise of a new historical system of accumulation in which the absorption of productive value of virtuosic and biopolitical labour takes an ever-increasing priority. In particular, this work aims to make theoretical and empirical contribution to the research programme of cognitive capitalism through an exploration of the emerging dynamics of the labour-capital relationship and, in parallel, the new form of antagonism traversing the contemporary capitalism, which is characterised by the increasing confrontation between biopolitical production and capitalist biopower. Based on a number of semi-structured interviews conducted with wage-workers, a case study in the field of digital economy, along with the holistic consideration of stylised-facts, the thesis argues for the mutation of capitalist mode of production from vampiric mode to parasitic mode as a form of counter-attack to the growing autonomy of social labour power. In the age of general intellect, it is brought forward, the long-lasting political mediation between living labour and dead labour manifests itself as increasingly untenable in consideration of the new technical composition of labour. By expanding on the social powers of virtuosos, recognised as the collective workers of the general intellect, as the real substance/flesh of socio-economic life, the discussion is furthered that the paradigmatic figures of restructured labour are well equipped with the capabilities, skills, and competencies that are adequate for the organisation of the political project of exodus towards human liberation.

This thesis develops a 'human economy' approach to understanding economic life that elucidates the social nature of economic reason. It explores deep structural changes in financial capitalism through the emergence of the sustainability paradigm in institutional investment, which involves the integration of environmental and social factors and long-term thinking into mainstream financial corporate valuations. The research is based on an extended-case study through participant-observation with one sustainable investment agency. The company is led by a power figure in sustainable finance and his trusted network of elite actors, who aim to be at the vanguard of the changes in institutional investing as they construct the category of the sustainable investor. The thesis explores the ambiguities inherent to such an undertaking and intends to open up new ground for economic anthropology and the anthropology of finance. The ethnography shows how the investment agency developed from a start-up firm with people operating from their homes to an established organisation in London. The majority of research was conducted with a team of sustainable investment analysts whose role it is to produce ratings on companies and influence the decision-making of financial analysts and portfolio managers. The ethnography depicts the everyday practices of this team, how the material arrangements of the investment agency were constructed, and actors' attempts to develop relationships with financial experts within investment processes. The findings are used to critique institutional investing and comment on normative and policy changes in the industry that centre on the figure of 'the fiduciary'. The thesis also points to new areas for research such as the links between corporate executives and sustainable investors. A historical account of investment management is also presented as a way of deconstructing many of the logics and ideas that were encountered during fieldwork and to better understand where and how sustainable investment fits into mainstream investing. The thesis also offers theoretical and methodological guidance for future ethnographies of finance by positioning the present study with existing sociological and anthropological studies and approaches. The discussion covers the political economy of sustainable investing with an emphasis on the links between market and society and the rise of the large corporation; outlines a framework for studying monetary transactions; and reflects on the nature of agency in financial markets and organisational actors there. A review of ethnographies of finance shows that studies of change within financial market practices should address issues of market functionality and political economy.

Resumo: Este trabalho consiste na reconstituição de três debates sobre o Imperialismo Capitalista Britânico durante o século XIX com o intuito de perceber nele manifestações das estruturas perenes do capitalismo, procurando marcar as diferenças entre estas e aquelas que se mostram(ram) conjunturais. No primeiro capítulo, procuramos, por meio da reconstituição do "debate clássico" de alguns autores marxistas do começo do século XX (Lênin, Kautsky, Hilferding e Rosa Luxemburg), demonstrar que este tipo de imperialismo é resultado das ações humanas sobre as contradições inerentes ao sistema capitalista em vias de se tornar global. Neste capítulo, procuramos também nos apropriar do potencial explicativo do conceito de "capital financeiro" de Hilferding sob as luzes da problemática da "reprodução social total" delineada por Rosa Luxemburg. A seguir, procuramos inserir as questões então colocadas na discussão do assim chamado "imperialismo do livre-comércio" - uma discussão sobretudo sobre as supostas diferenças de motivações dos homens-de-Estado britânicos na "escolha" entre "controle direto" e "controle indireto" das colônias da rainha Vitória - ao que a questão do Estado enquanto expressão da luta de classes naquele momento se mostrou crucial. No último capítulo, buscamos compreender as especificidades da formação da classe proprietária do capital financeiro na Grã-Bretanha Vitoriana no momento em que se consolidava uma sorte de fusão entre valores aristocráticos e outros burgueses, tendo como especial referência a "teoria da classe ociosa" de Thorstein Veblen. Procuramos, neste capítulo, retomando as idéias dos capítulos anteriores, entender como se deu a permanência da elite britânica enquanto elite num momento de crise profunda do sistema de organização social. Durante todo o nosso percurso, procuramos tecer as articulações entre as especificidades do caso britânico e as características inerentes ao sistema capitalista de acumulação de riquezas e exploração de pessoas
Abstract: This work consists in the reconstitution of three debates about the British Capitalist Imperialism in the 19th Century with the intention of realizing signs of the everlastings structures of the capitalism, trying to mark the differences between that structural and others that seem(ed) conjunturals. In the first chapter, we tried, by the reconstitution of the "classical debate" delimited by some Marxists authors whose wrote in the beginning of the 20th century (Lênin, Kautsky, Hilferding and Rosa Luxemburg), to demonstrate that this kind of imperialism results from human actions on the contradictions of the capitalist system near to become global. In this chapter, we also tried to borrow the explanatory potential of the "financial capital" concept of Hilferding by the lights of Rosa Luxemburg's discussion about the "total social reproduction". Afterwards, we tried to insert the questions pointed at the discussion of the so-called "free trade imperialism" - a discussion especially focused on the alleged British men-of-state's preferences to "choose" between the "direct" and the "indirect" control over Queen Victory's colonies - when was crucial the question of the State as expression of the class struggle in that time. In the last chapter, we tried to comprehend the peculiarities of the proprietor class that owned the financial capital in Victorian Great- Britain in the time which became stable a kind of fusion between the aristocratics and the bourgeois values. In that moment, we reported to the theory of the leisure class by Thorstein Veblen. In this chapter, we tried, resuming the ideas developed in the previous chapters, to understand how the brittish elite could remain elite in spite of the deep crisis of the social system of organization. During the entire route, we tried to weave the articulations between the peculiarities of the British case and the inherent characters of the capitalist system of wealth accumulation and people exploration

Abstract:

Atendiendo a la cuádruple economía de la realidad social: fuerza, poder, saber y subjetividad, este trabajo de investigación aborda de modo concreto cómo los medios tecnológicos de masas, en especial los de la información y la comunicación que despuntan en occidente a partir del siglo XIX, y que se corresponden con una determinada articulación de poder y saber, transforman el régimen de organización social capitalista, la subjetividad que produce y la relación que este y esta mantienen con el campo de relaciones de fuerzas. Producto de una compleja programación que captura, organiza y distribuye los medios y modos de producción de sensibilidad, la subjetividad hegemónica tiende a erigirse exclusivamente como bastión de control de la estabilidad y dispositivo de actualización del sistema de saber y poder del cual deriva. Fuera de sí misma, es situada en la primera línea de defensa, la más abatida y expuesta, para aplacar y digerir cierto potencial de disolución que le es inherente, por constitución, al régimen social de organización capitalista. Consumar el resultado que a cada momento envía el cuerpo social y del que técnicamente se apropia y reenvía como el suyo individual parece ser su función primordial: entre la identidad y la despersonalización garantizada por los medios tecnológicos de masas dirigidos principalmente hacia el control de la sensibilidad y de los modos de representación. Ahora bien, hendir el sistema de poder y saber que caracteriza al régimen de organización social capitalista, a través de una práctica de desactivación de la subjetividad hegemónica, siempre y cuando este proceso de (de)subjetivación libere las relaciones de fuerzas de las constricciones que impone la organización social, todavía es posible. Las relaciones de fuerzas no capturadas por el poder ni el saber, en efecto, dislocan la funcionalidad que enerva la tecnología. Sin este desvío que acusa la ruptura, además, sería imposible mantener la subjetividad afuera y abierta (subjetividad transversal). Pues este articula, precisamente, un campo diferencial de distancias, autorreferencial, por el cual la tecnología, y la subjetividad, se ponen al servicio de lo que les es heterogéneo, una perspectiva temporal, en lugar de subyugarse a la organización social.
Attending to the fourfold economy of the social reality: force, power, knowledge and subjectivity, this research work addresses concretely how technological mass media, in particular information and communication that dot in the West from the XIX century, and that correspond with a determined articulation of power and knowledge, turn the capitalist social regime, its produced subjectivity and the relationship between them in the field of the relations with forces. Because of a complex programming that captures, organizes and distributes means and modes of producing sensibility the hegemonic subjectivity tends to emerge as a bastion to control the stability and updating subterfuge, from which the knowledge and power system is derived. From outside of itself, it stays in the first line of defence, the most depressed and exposed, to overcome and digest some potential of inherent dissolution by constitution to the social regime of the capitalistic organization. Consummating the outcome that the social body continually sends and technically appropriates and to resend as its own individual, seems its main function between identity and guaranteed depersonalisation by technological mass media directed mainly towards the control of the sensibility and modes of representation. Nevertheless, defusing the power and knowledge system that characterizes the social regime of the capitalistic organization, through a hegemonic subjectivity deactivation practice, is still possible. This provided that the process of subjectivation may relieve the correlation of forces from the constrictions that imposes social organization. The non-captured correlation of forces neither by the power nor knowledge, indeed, displaces the functionality that enervates technology. Moreover, without this turnoff that causes a breach, it would be impossible to maintain an outside and open subjectivity (cross-sectional subjectivity). This precisely articulates a differential field of distances, self-referential, by which technology and subjectivity stay at service of its inherent heterogenicity, a temporal perspective, instead of subjugating to the social organization.

Full text

Abstract:

The task of this thesis is to show that a renovated Marxism can offer a comprehensive explanation for the erosion of political commitment in contemporary liberal capitalist cultures. Post-Marxism forms the point of departure for the explanation to be developed. An evaluation of this work suggests that the problem is related to the forms of subjectivity instituted by neo-liberal capitalism. A renovated dialectical Marxism offers the means of filling the gaps in the post-Marxist account. Renovation requires a specific anti-economistic, anti-deterministic reading of two distinct but related strands of the Marxist corpus. The first of these is the theory of capitalism as total mode of life, as found in the work of Marx and Althusser. The second is the account of proletarian revolution developed by Marx and Gramsci. Both strands are read as accounts of subjectivity. The second is also read as an analysis of the constitution of collective political commitment. A comparison of the two will show that the subjects produced by neo-liberal capitalism are incapable of the kind of self-disciplined political commitment needed to undertake and complete demanding collective tasks. This conclusion is only possible, however, if a psychoanalysis rendered in historical institutional terms (mainly that of Freud and Lacan), is articulated to a renovated Marxism, as argued for by Althusser. In addition to the work of Althusser, that of Habermas on the bourgeois public sphere and Castoriadis on institutions suggest the means of articulating psychoanalysis to Marxism. The resulting theory offers a comprehensive explanation of the realities of contemporary social relations as instituted by neo-liberalism since the early 1980s, specifically as manifested in the erosion of political commitment.

Abstract:

This research project examines why systems of mortgage finance in Britain and Denmark have largely been immune to substantive reform, despite the failures and costs manifested by the 2008 global financial crisis. Neo-Weberian scholars currently dominate this research area, and suggest deregulated mortgage markets are maintained to facilitate access to the social norm and material gains of private housing to foster bottom-up consent to political party rule. However, whether private housing is an independent social norm is highly questionable, and the financial gains from homeownership are highly stratified. Additionally, the emphasis on the home as a financial asset fails to account for the decline in wages as a share of GDP, which is negatively affected by the process of financialisation. This thesis deploys a quantitative analysis to assess whether there is any meaningful relationship between the falling wage share and the vast expansion of mortgage credit, and a qualitative examination of whether there is a deliberate social purpose encoded in public policy formulation to meet such ends. The results from the time-series regression analysis demonstrated that the increased distribution of mortgage credit does have a negative effect on the wage share in Britain between 1979 and 2012, but not in Denmark. The qualitative analysis of the British case demonstrated that mortgage credit was deregulated to establish a mortgage-led financialised accumulation regime that increased the capital share of GDP at the expense of wages. Additionally, the disciplinary mechanisms of mortgage credit were used to integrate deviant trade union members into a functioning social formation. Alternatively, the qualitative analysis of the Danish case revealed how mortgage finance has been restricted and liberalised to regulate the performance of the macro-economy. The Danish government uses mortgage credit to intervene in the economy as the country’s integration into the European and global economy have marginalised their ability to use traditional fiscal and monetary policy interventions. A comparative analysis of British and Danish mortgage systems connected them to the wider political economy of each state, specifically welfare state structures and industrial relations, which explains the necessity of maintaining liberalised mortgage finance markets in Britain and Denmark.

Abstract:

The social and economic restructuring accompanying increasing globalisation has provided new opportunities and new limits for social and ethnic movements in New Zealand as elsewhere. The purpose of this thesis is to establish the theory of tribal-capitalism through an examination of the responses to these changing global economic circumstances that have characterised the Maori ethnification, indigenisation and retribalisation movements since the 1970s. Although both the initial 'prefigurative' and the later 'strategic'(Breines, 1980:421) routes to tino rangatiratanga ('Maori sovereignty') were attempts to restore traditional social relations and secure political and economic autonomy from the dominant Pakeha society, the projects are distinguished by different approaches. On the one hand the 'prefigurative' traditionalist project indicted both capitalism and Pakeha society as its exponents sought a return to the precapitalist social relations of the pre-Contact era. On the other hand exponents of the 'strategic' project sought to establish a concordat with capitalist Pakeha society based upon the assumption that a capitalist economy could be made compatible with Maori political and cultural autonomy. It is argued that neither project, 'prefigurative' traditionalism nor the 'strategic march through the institutions of capitalism', achieved the objective of tino rangatiratanga. Irrespective of approach, Maori ethnification, indigenisation and retribalisation became reshaped and reconstituted by the conditions that made the movements possible and that shaped them in decisive ways. These tino rangatiratanga movements emerged from the institutional channels enabled by Pakeha bicultural idealists and given substance by the Waitangi Tribunal as a tribal-capitalist regime of accumulation characterised by exploitative class relations and reified communal relations. An extensive range of case studies is employed to provide evidence that tests the hypothesis of the emergence of tribal-capitalism from out of the projects that attempted to retain the traditional in a world dominated by capitalist relations. Despite the structural opportunities provided by Pakeha bicultural idealists, and despite the different approaches of the Maori tino rangatiratanga projects, it was not possible to restore communal relations of production. Objective forces, rather than internal miscalculation, ineptitude or corruption, brought about the failure as firstly 'prefigurative' and then 'strategic' projects became doomed attempts to sidestep class location within capitalist structures. The various studies examine the ways in which the 'prefigurative' and 'strategic' projects not only led to the transformation of the ethnification and indigenisation movements into the new class formations of tribal-capitalism, but actually became constitutive of the class fractions that define the regime. The dialectical interactive of agency and structure which transformed the projects became a reconstituting and shaping mechanism of change. First the study of the Pakeha new class's bicultural project grounds the later studies by locating the institutional inclusion of Maori indigenous particularity in the universalism of the new class humanists. Biculturalism established relatively benign conditions for the tino rangatiratanga projects by providing both opportunities and resources for Maori development. It is in the retribalising form of that development that an indigenous version of the capitalist regime of accumulation is located. The next three sections of the thesis examine the 'prefigurative' and 'strategic' routes of this indigenous particularity into the new inclusive structures in studies of: a reviving Maori family, an ascendant tribe, a separate Maori education system and the creation of the national Maori fishing industry. The outcomes of each study are examined to trace the failure of both approaches as particular groups within the retribalisation movement developed new and exclusive relationships to the traditional lands, waters and knowledge. The concluding section contrasts culturalist theories of the Maori tino rangatiratanga projects with the hypothesis of the emergence of tribal-capitalism advanced in this thesis. The claim that cultural strength can resist the imposition of capitalist class relations is found not to be sustained.

Abstract:

nÃo hÃ
O movimento cooperativista nasceu no sÃculo XIX como estratÃgia dos trabalhadores para o enfrentamento Ã exploraÃÃo engendrada pelo capitalismo industrial. Experimentou importante crescimento atÃ meados do SÃculo XX quando passou por um declÃnio no perÃodo chamado de os anos gloriosos do capitalismo. Com o advento da crise estrutural capitalista, nos anos de 1970, tem-se um novo surto expansionista das cooperativas nas economias perifÃricas, atraindo, desta feita, interesses nÃo apenas das organizaÃÃes dos trabalhadores, mas tambÃm de agentes ligados ao capital. No Brasil, a expansÃo das cooperativas nas Ãltimas duas dÃcadas Ã ilustrativa dessa tendÃncia, pois, aqui, os agentes fomentadores e apoiadores destas iniciativas vÃo desde organizaÃÃes sindicais, associaÃÃes comunitÃrias e movimentos sociais, passando por um setor do empresariado e pela intervenÃÃo do Estado. A suposta convergÃncia em torno do cooperativismo apresenta-se como um desafio ao estudo, pois ela congrega interesses contraditÃrios, o que tem implicaÃÃes na natureza e finalidades reais do movimento cooperativista atual. Esta pesquisa se fez com o objetivo de investigar as contradiÃÃes existentes por trÃs e Ã base desse consenso, tendo como objeto de anÃlise empÃrica a intervenÃÃo da Central Ãnica dos Trabalhadores (CUT) nessa seara. A caracterizaÃÃo do contexto histÃrico recente conduz ao entendimento de que o cooperativismo se apresenta, de um lado, como reaÃÃo dos trabalhadores ao rebaixamento das condiÃÃes gerais de existÃncia e, de outro, como forma de diminuiÃÃo dos custos do trabalho para as empresas e de administraÃÃo do conflito social com vista Ã governabilidade para os governos. No exame do projeto cutista, procura-se demonstrar quais finalidades orientam a intervenÃÃo da Central: trata-se de uma linha de aÃÃo articulada com a estratÃgia de enfrentamento do capitalismo ou de uma aÃÃo de enfrentamento Ãs mazelas causadas pelo desemprego? Quais implicaÃÃes das prÃticas cutistas na Ãrea do cooperativismo para o processo de organizaÃÃo e formaÃÃo da consciÃncia de classe dos trabalhadores? A apreensÃo do objeto fundamentou-se no exame de literatura especializada, na anÃlise de dados estatÃsticos e no estudo das resoluÃÃes dos congressos nacionais da CUT. Constatou-se que o projeto cutista atribui ao cooperativismo funÃÃo central na geraÃÃo de trabalho e renda, criando novas demandas para a atuaÃÃo sindical na Ãrea; que nÃo se estabelece vinculaÃÃo entre o cooperativismo e estratÃgias mais amplas de enfrentamento do capitalismo; que a intervenÃÃo junto ao cooperativismo nÃo contempla um processo educativo voltado para a promoÃÃo da consciÃncia de classe dos trabalhadores.

Abstract:

Rawls emphasizes in his later writings that his theory of justice as fairness is not a defense of welfare-state capitalism. He argues that welfare-state capitalism cannot be an acceptable regime for justice as fairness because its ideal institutional description fails to satisfy the two principles of justice in various ways. Against Rawls, I argue in this thesis that his rejection of welfare-state capitalism is not justified. I begin by clarifying an ambiguity regarding what arrangements and policies according to Rawls are essential to satisfy the two principles of justice through closely studying the institutional arrangements of property-owning democracy and liberal socialism—the two regimes thought by Rawls as capable of fully satisfying the two principles of justice. After that, I show that the fundamental reason behind Rawls’s rejection of welfare-state capitalism is his assumption that welfare-state capitalism does not aim to realize justice as fairness. I argue that this assumption held by Rawls is not justified because the essential institutional features of welfare-state capitalism can be compatible with the arrangements and policies necessary to satisfy the principles of justice. I also argue that if Rawls’s assumption regarding the aim of welfare-state capitalism cannot stand, he should not rule out welfare-state capitalism as an acceptable regime for justice as fairness. Finally, I examine different arguments that provide alternative reasons to justify Rawls’s rejection of welfare-state capitalism. I argue that all of them are unsuccessful because they either are based on problematic interpretations of the two principles of justice or fail to conclusively rule out welfare-state capitalism. By showing that welfare-state capitalism can be an acceptable regime for justice as fairness, this thesis proves that a just society does not need to be the one that entitles every citizen to a substantive right to own real capital. Also, in the process of arguing for welfare-state capitalism, this thesis also indirectly contributes to the recent debates between Rawlsians on the left and right over the proper interpretations of the first principle of justice and the Difference Principle.

Abstract:

Thesis (Ph. D.)--Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Architecture, 2007.
Includes bibliographical references (leaves 163-165).
This dissertation explores the question: What effects do architecture and the economic realm have upon one another? I begin with an analysis of a specific trajectory in twentieth-century work on architectural theory and capitalism by Manfredo Tafuri and Fredric Jameson. I then review the historical use, and the contemporary meanings, of the term "vernacular" in architectural discourse. This is done to rehabilitate the term, which has become so laden with historical meaning as to impair its usefulness. My work to properly decouple the architectural historical specificity from the term, to reanimate it, enables me to develop a general framework for thinking about the relationship between innovative production and general production (both historical and contemporary). My development of this framework in the contemporary context positions innovative architectural production as a cultural/aesthetic act that does not have to be bracketed out of the realm of capital, commoditization, or the market. It does not insist aesthetic production take a position against its co-option. Rather I indicate where I and other theorists have seen that position to be historically problematic (particularly for the avant-gardes). Co-option, defined here as the popular reproduction of unique acts, is treated nonpejoratively as the structural link between the political economy and innovative cultural, aesthetic, or political production. I then apply this general framework to the question of maximizing power as an architect within capitalist relations. Here I discuss psychological and sociological models for the creative individual's behavior in professional relationships. In my analysis I prioritize those tactics and strategies that may enable an architect to have a sustainable career of prolonged creative influence.
(cont.) I then outline major criteria in the development of the latest technologies for architects. These criteria are principles for the development of digital tools that would enable sustained creative design within the capitalist political economy, where building activity is structured as a project- based environment of distributed, collaborative expertise, and by mandatory compliance with social norms expressed as the legal rights of others through building ordinances, codes, and a consensus of self-interested professionals, clients, landowners, builders, and municipalities. Lastly the preceding parts of this dissertation are used as grounds for my consideration, in the conclusion, of possible political effects from architectural production under capitalism. Here I make the determination that, through architecture alone, there are none.

Abstract:

This paper examines the very complex relationship between capitalism and democracy. While it appears that capitalism provides some necessary element for a democracy, a problem of political inequality and a possible violation of liberty can be observed in many democratic countries. I argue that this political inequality and threat to liberty are fueled by capitalism. I will analyze the ways in which capitalism works against democratic aims. This is done through first illustrating what my accepted conception of democracy is. I then continue to depict how the various problems with capitalism that I describe violate this conception of democracy. This leads me to my conclusion that while capitalism is necessary for a democracy to reach a certain needed level of independence from the state, capitalism simultaneously limits a democracy from reaching its full potential. If anything can be done to mitigate these limitations on democracy that capitalism creates can be further explored.

Abstract:

The economic competition between the Netherlands, France and England is documented in the atlases published in Amsterdam, Paris and London between 1500 and 1800. However, the relationship between mapping and economic processes remains mostly unexplored in the history of cartography. World-system theory has application to the history of cartography in the early modern period for identifying the linkages between cartography and long-term economic processes.This research analyzes the production of maps, specifically in world and maritime atlases, in these three cities as the geographic expression of the emergent capitalist world system in early modern Europe. The economic concepts of core and periphery as proposed by Immanuel Wallerstein are defined cartographically in the structural morphologies of Dutch, French and English atlases published in this period. Each country mapped itself as a core and such cartographic self-definitions reflect their individual geographic and economic contexts. The Netherlands and England created core atlases in the sixteenth century that evolved in support of business and transport as well as state interests. The French core atlas initiated at the end of the seventeenth century was a governmentally sponsored survey dedicated primarily toward state administration control. The Netherlands, Fance and England also mapped their continental and extra-European peripheries in world and maritime atlases. Dutch engagement in long-distance trade in agricultural commodities created world-system commodity chains of production. Dutch maritime atlases defined these networks of commercial opportunity for the first time. The creators of the first printed world atlases, Dutch cartographers also structured their productions of atlases as a commercial enterprise marketed toward an international clientele. Dutch maritime atlases were an important innovation and Amsterdam atlas publication dominated cartography in the seventeenth century. English publishers adopted Dutch innovations in map production and succeeded to dominance in printing atlases whose structural morphology embodies a world-system of commodity networks. The relationship of cartography to long-term economic processes is demonstrated by the Dutch and English atlases. Early modern world atlases portray the cartographic world-view of core and periphery. The maritime atlases provide the first portrayal of long-distance trade networks that continue to characterize the capitalist exchange of commodities globally.

Abstract:

Este trabalho expõe a estrutura conceitual básica da economia marxista, discute sua coerência à luz do debate das principais críticas que lhe são feitas, e procura mostrar sua utilidade para a compreensão da economia capitalista atual. Isto é feito a partir de uma chave de interpretação que destaca duas questões: o duplo caráter do trabalho produtor de mercadorias, e a caracterização do trabalho abstrato como substância social do valor. Uma das idéias centrais deste trabalho é a afirmação de que esta abordagem permite tratar o dinheiro, o capital e a dinâmica da economia capitalista de modo mais realista e adequado que outras vertentes teóricas. A solução dada por Marx para a transformação dos valores em preços de produção é um dos principais exemplos do emprego da concepção do valor como substância social, e ao mesmo tempo uma das construções mais criticadas na economia marxista; por isto esta discussão tem aqui um lugar central. Este trabalho procura ainda mostrar a utilidade analítica do quadro conceitual da economia marxista para tratar diversas questões atuais da economia capitalista, como o intercâmbio desigual. Argumenta, ainda, que este quadro é um ponto de partida capaz de recolher contribuições teóricas originadas de outras abordagens.
This work exposes the basic conceptual structure of Marxian economics, discusses its coherence in the light of the main criticisms made to it, and tries to show its utility to the comprehension of today's capitalist economy. This is done taking a key that stresses two questions: the dual character of the labor that produces commodities, and the characterization of abstract labor as substance of value. One of the main ideas of this work is the statement that this approach allows us to treat money, capital and the capitalist economy's dynamics in a more realist and proper way than other theoretical approaches. Marx's solution to the transformation of commodities values into production prices is one of the main examples of value as a social substance, and also is one of the more criticized constructs of Marxian economics; for that reason, this discussion has here a central place. This work still tries to show the analytical utility of the conceptual framework of Marxian economics to treat several questions of todays capitalist economy, as unequal exchange. It still argues that this framework is a foundation able to gather theoretical contributions from other approaches.

Resumo: Essa Tese pretende oferecer uma contribuição ao debate sobre economia política regional e urbana no Brasil ao explorar as relações entre o Estado, as instituições e as escalas geográficas na produção e regulação do desenvolvimento espacial desigual no país. Para atingir esse objetivo, é necessária uma rigorosa reflexão sobre a produção das escalas e sua relação com a espacialidade do Estado. Partimos da noção de que se a Questão Regional é uma questão do Estado, é necessário aprofundar o entendimento do reescalonamento espacial do Estado e analisar os pressupostos teóricos e manifestações concretas desse fenômeno no Brasil. O debate sobre escalas espaciais e sobre novos processos de des/re-territorialização tem muito a contribuir nas discussões sobre a globalização e sobre a crise regulatória do Estado Nacional. Adotamos uma metodologia processual e uma Abordagem Estratégica-Relacional para analisar o reescalonamento do Estado, partindo da ideia de que a Hegemonia é disputada em múltiplas escalas através de projetos hegemônicos e estratégias de acumulação concorrentes, o que permite estabelecer as relações entre mudanças no bloco hegemônico e nas formas espaciais do Estado. Nesse sentido, nos aproximamos da Abordagem da Regulação e investigamos as relações entre escalas espaciais, acumulação e regulação no Brasil. Busca-se entender as formas de imersão sócio espacial das localidades e suas relações com regimes regulatórios, mecanismos de governança e transformações do Estado. Nesse trabalho, empregamos esses conceitos juntamente com interpretações existentes sobre o Estado Desenvolvimentista no Brasil e aplicamos os diálogos possíveis numa (re) leitura do papel assumido por essa forma de Estado na produção e regulação do desenvolvimento espacial desigual. Partimos da noção de que o tipo de Estado (Desenvolvimentista) brasileiro precisaria, necessariamente, assumir sua realidade de subdesenvolvimento. Pretende-se analisar como a urbanização e o desenvolvimento regional acabam criando formas específicas de deslocamento e de geração de crises regulatórias, assim como estratégias correspondentes de intervenção política para resolvê-las. Discutimos a crise do Estado Desenvolvimentista e as formas como a neoliberalização do Estado passa a comandar os processos de reescalonamento
Abstract: This thesis aims to provide a contribution to the debate on urban and regional political economy in Brazil by discussing the relationships among the state, institutions and geographical scale in the production and regulation of uneven spatial development. To achieve this goal requires a thorough reflection on the production of scales and their relationship to the spatiality of the state. We start with the notion that if the Regional Question is a matter of the state, it is necessary to deepen our understanding of the rescaling of state space and to analyze the theoretical and concrete manifestation of this phenomenon in Brazil. The debate on spatial scales and new processes of de / re-territorialization has much to contribute to discussions on globalization and the regulatory crisis of the national state. We adopt a procedural methodology and a Strategic Relational Approach to examine the state rescaling, based on the idea that hegemony is played at multiple scales through competitive hegemonic projects and accumulation strategies, which allows establishing the relationships between changes in the hegemonic bloc and spatial forms of the state. In this sense, we adopt the Regulation Approach and investigate the relationship between spatial scales, accumulation and regulation in Brazil. We seek to understand the socio spatial embeddedness of localities and their relationships with regulatory regimes, governance mechanisms and state transformations. In this work, we employ these concepts together with existing interpretations of the Brazilian Developmental State and apply those ideas in a (re) reading of the role played by this form of state at the production and regulation of uneven spatial development. We start with the notion that the Brazilian type of Developmental state must assume its reality of underdevelopment. We intended to examine how urbanization and regional development create specific forms of displacement and generation of regulatory crises, as well as corresponding strategies of political intervention to resolve them. We discuss the crisis of the Developmental State and the ways the neoliberalization of the state will command the processes of rescaling

Resumo: A dissertação tem como finalidade contribuir para a compreensão das transformações contemporâneas do capitalismo a partir da interpretação de Jean Baudrillard, que denominou o período pós-segunda guerra mundial de "sociedade de consumo". O processo de desenvolvimento capitalista modifica o modo de vida da sociedade, principalmente em relação ao consumo, pois as mercadorias produzidas pelo modo de produção capitalista satisfazem as necessidades sociais como consequência de seu objetivo final de acumular valor. Porém, o desenvolvimento econômico capitalista traz uma contradição, que é a capacidade ilimitada da produção e a limitada de consumo, que faz com que o capitalismo necessite criar necessidades de consumo incessantemente para realizar valor. Dessa forma, cada vez mais o capitalismo necessita dos elementos culturais, sociais, políticos e ideológicos no processo de acumulação. A sociedade de consumo surge quando esses elementos, principalmente o cultural e ideológico passam a comandar cada vez mais o processo de consumo, pois as necessidades passam a visar mais aos valores que os "objetos" e a satisfação se dão primeiramente através da adesão a esses valores, que Baudrillard explica a partir da sua teoria do valor-signo. Por isso que a dissertação se concentrou em analisar o período histórico do segundo pós-guerra nos países desenvolvidos, para buscar analisar todos os fatores que tornaram possível o surgimento da sociedade de consumo. Concomitantemente, essa pesquisa, buscou fazer uma análise teórica, primeiramente sobre as visões em relação a produção, consumo e necessidades em Adam Smith, Alfred Marshall, Karl Marx e posteriormente Andre Granou e Jean Baudrillard
Abstract: The main objective of this dissertation is to contribute to understanding the contemporary transformations of capitalism building on Jean Baudrillard's depiction of the world after WWII as a 'consumer society'. The development of capitalism has changed the way that society lives, principally as relates to consumption, because while commodities produced under the capitalist mode of production may satisfy some social needs, this is a consequence of the final objective - value accumulation. However, capitalist economic development contains a contradiction. That contradiction is the unlimited potential to produce combined with the limited capacity to consume which is why capitalism must continuously increase the necessity to consume in order to realize value. In this form, capitalism increasingly needs to bring cultural, social, political and ideological elements into the process of accumulation. Consumer society appears when these elements (principally cultural and ideological values) come under the increasing command of the consumption process because needs are more focused on social values than on objects, and satisfaction comes primarily from the adoption of values that Baudrillard explains with his theory of sign value. This dissertation focused on developed countries during the post-war period in order to analyze all of the factors that made the creation of a consumer society possible. Additionally, this research aimed to interrogate the analyses of the theories of necessity of Adam Smith, Alfred Marshall and Karl Mark, and following, the theories of Andre Granou and Jean Baudrillard

Resumo: Muito embora o imaginário reserve um lugar no mínimo degradado àquilo que se chama consensualmente de feitiçaria, esta pode ser encontrada em meio às vidas cotidianas, tanto em tarefas corriqueiras quanto em operações profissionais o mais diversas e grandiosas possível. Trata-se de maneiras de tornar as coisas visíveis, ou seja, maneiras de lhes inserir e contextualizar na realidade. É com base nesta ideia de feitiçaria que busco desdobrar a análise que Isabelle Stengers e Philipe Pignarre desenvolveram sobre o capitalismo como um sistema de feitiçarias sem feiticeiros. A partir deste desdobramento, situo minha produção artística e proponho uma obra que dialoga com o conjunto de textos componentes da dissertação
Abstract: Even thou the collective imaginarium reserves a degraded place - to say the minimun - to that wich is consensually called witchcraft, it can be found amidst our daily lifes, in simple tasks as much as in professional operations, as diverse and big as it could be. It is about ways to make things visible, meaning, ways to insert and contextualizate things in reality. It is upon this idea of wicthcraft that i seek to unfold Isabelle Stenger's and Philipe Pignarre's analisis of capitalism as a system of sorcery without sorcerers. From this unfolding, i place my own artistic production and propose a work of art in dialogue with the set of texts this dissertation consists of

O objetivo do presente trabalho consiste na elucidação da configuração de poder político e econômico mundial, corporificada institucionalmente nos organismos interestatais, dos quais a presente pesquisa privilegia como foco o Banco Mundial, instituição financeira multilateral que vem impondo aos países periféricos reformas em seus sistemas educacionais, no sentido de dotar o capital de mais uma imensa área de reprodução e de acumulação, em que pese as funestas consequências sociais dessa apropriação de uma esfera de fundamental importância para o funcionamento das sociedades contemporâneas. No que respeita aos procedimentos metodológicos, a presente pesquisa constitui um estudo bibliográfico e documental, estruturado sob o referencial teórico-metodológico marxiano, iniciando, no primeiro capítulo, com uma revisão bibliográfica da categoria crise no modo de produção capitalista à luz de Marx e seus seguidores, com vistas à apreensão dos fundamentos teóricos da dinâmica da crise estrutural do capital. No segundo capítulo é feito o exame do neoliberalismo e da reestruturação produtiva como saída estratégica da crise estrutural do capital e no terceiro é analisada a atuação do Banco Mundial, como instituição multilateral à qual foi concedido o mandato de administrar a crise estrutural do capital, nos marcos do modo de produção vigente, no sentido de instrumentalizar o sistema educacional dos países da periferia capitalista com vistas à atenuação e/ou ao deslocamento das contradições intrínsecas àquele modo de produção, até onde for possível. A conclusão da investigação aponta na direção do imperativo da substituição do Banco Mundial, como instituição responsável pela formulação de políticas educacionais aplicáveis aos países periféricos, por organizações ou instâncias deliberativas e decisórias alternativas, que reflitam a diversidade política, ética e cultural daqueles países e pugnem por seus soberanos interesses, subordinando as injunções mercantis em uma área vital para o desenvolvimento socioeconômico dessas formações sociais.

Abstract:

The traditional internationalization theories suggest that the process of going international is gradual. Recent theories about “born global” firms state they internationalize from the day they are founded or shortly thereafter. TAT (The Astonishing Tribe) is a small but growing Swedish software technology and design company and a “born global” company. TAT has a small number of very large companies as their customers, which could be unsafe if they were to lose one of these important clients.

The strategic states model show the need for different combination of competitive edges and presents optimum strategies to reach high performance. To move to a more desirable state in the model the theory of customer capitalism is suggested in this thesis. The theory is supposed to make the customer “lock on” to a corporation for a win-win long term relationship. Two aspects of the theory that are more distinguished than the four others has been identified, these being relationship and developer.

Abstract:

The aim of this paper is to trace the role Japan's print media played in the course by which the nation came to be imagined in the late nineteenth century, and once conceived, altered and expanded in the early twentieth century. By the conclusion of the Russo-Japanese War (1905) a shift from a multiplicity of ideological articulations vis à vis the nation to a hegemony of "official" nationalism, which incorporated imperialism, had occured. How Japanese newspapers became an effective and powerful ideological institution which served to facilitate the hegemony of "official" nationalism is here examined. As the manner in which a culture communicates is a dominant influence on the formation of a culture's social and intellectual preoccupations, the monopoly of print in Meiji Japan makes an analysis of it a crucial first step in understanding how Japanese nationalism developed. Meiji newspapers evolved through four distinct phases: "pro-establishment," "political," "early commercial," and "fully commercial." In each succeeding stage of development, news was more finely strained. Print media's commercial coming of age had significant consequences: "official" nationalism became hegemonic, non-"official" nationalisms were effectively marginalized, and print came to play an increasingly central role in the body politic. An examination of editorial coverage of the war indicates the 1903-1905 period was pivotal to this development.
