Abstract

The research project here shown intents to realize a critical bibliographical survey, analyzing articles in scientific journals which discuss the theme of classes and social stratification in Brazilian Sociology at the first decade of the 21th century. The proposed survey has as subject the analysis about in which way the Brazilian Sociology receives the theory about the "end of classes" on the context of neoliberalism and the last productive restructuration. This research puts itself as component part of a higher analytical amplitude project which involves other three members (1970, 1980 and 1990 decades), allowing the acknowledgment of the given peculiarities from our research subject on the conjuncture which starts at 1970 in Brazil. This way, the main subject of this project is surveying the discussion about social classes and about social stratification in the academical bibliography in the period between 2000 and 2010.(AU)
