| Abstract | |
This research was developed within the framework of cooperative and associative practices of social groups self-organized in search of income generation, gathered by the so-called Solidarity Economy (SE). These social practices, in turn, comprise large amount of women and black men and women, which has not been treated with the social and political relevance that this fact raises. In this context, some scholars engaged in the sexual division of work seek to understand the reasons for the large number of women found in these organizations, as well as identify the place that they occupy in the same. However, the studies around the racial issues in SE don't come with the same amplitude: what is the color of participants of Solidarity Economy? Can these social practices change the context of exclusion of black population? In order to understand this scenario, the thesis defended in this investigation is that associative projects and collective work, grouped by public policies of solidarity-based economy, represent the priority of confronting class relationships, focused especially on unemployment, income generating opportunities and overcoming hunger and poverty of part of the Brazilian population. However, it does not prioritize issues of gender and race with the same relevance as class is, not considering the intersection of these social relationships as society structuring. The theoretical and methodological framework adopted, therefore, understands the social relations through the coextensivity of categories of domination that constitute them, namely: class, race and gender, synthesized by the concept of consubstantialité, translated in Brazil as consubstantiality. The results showed that the emphasis on social class is present by the own existence of OSPs developed in the process of coping with structures and power groups that maintains social inequalities. However, this class struggle has color and gender that leave them increasingly complex, which is not always considered in SE practices. This evidence was given by the identification of the sexual division of labor within the surveyed initiatives and differential of opportunities for men and women in some experiments. Also gave the silencing of racial issues and the trend of blackening population in the scope of the surveyed initiatives. On the other hand, the results showed significant progress as the possibility of expanding the skills and learning experiences provided by surveyed. Men and women, black men and women, low education and income, have significant opportunities to expand their technical policy and collective management skills, and, from that, become political subjects to occupy new social spaces. In this way, the research has indicated important nuances in order to make public policy in Solidarity Economy understood in the consubstantiality way, as well as contributed to other researches carried on this field of study, and also provides a possibility that practical action can be analyzed from coextensivity perspective in terms of class, race and gender social relations (AU) | |
