| Abstract | |
This study presents the results of a fieldwork research that took place at Missão Paz, one of the main institutions to host recently arrived immigrants as well as to promote their so-called \'social mediation\' in the city. Through the \'processes of work intermediation, Missão Paz promotes the meeting of employers and immigrants who are seeking work. In addition to the direct observation of this entire process, the fieldwork was extended to a few hiring companies and is based on interviews with both employers and candidates to vacancies or hired migrants. The main aim of the research is to investigate the managerial strategies that determine the hiring of immigrant workers. Moreover it seeks to seize how the distinctive attributes of the latters\' workforce are engendered in the very course of its mobilization. The text is divided in two parts. In Part One (second and third chapters), named \"The intermediation of immigrant labor\", the focus is on the circulating mobility of labor and we approach Missão Paz as an economic agent of work intermediation. Chapter 2 is dedicated to a characterization of the agents who participate in those Mediation Processes: the sellers of workforce, its buyers and the intermediating agent itself. In Chapter 3, the object is the so-called \'intercultural trainings for immigrants\' which is approached a ritual moment of the immigrants\' entry in the \'market\'. Part Two (Chapters 4 and 5) - named \"Applications of immigrant labor\" - contains two case studies on two hiring companies. In chapter 4, the object is a cleaning and unblocking pipes company who mostly outsources its services in the construction sector. In chapter 5, the object is a company specialized in logistic processes for frozen food which provides services to supermarkets. To what kind of companies does the immigrant labor become a desirable and viable option, and why? What managerial strategies determine the mobilization of immigrant workers? What is the immigrant as a category of economic life? Which characteristics, be they real or presumed, make the immigrant a desirable category of worker for employers? How do these workers react to the conditioning factors that are imposed during their insertion in the \'market\', that is, what kind of subjectivation processes do those managerial strategies and expectations engender? How is the immigrant condition related to the production of consent? Finally, what is the nature of the \'integration\' of both immigrants and refugees in the given social milieu, insofar as it takes place in the market and in workplaces? These are the main questions guiding this research. (AU) | |
