Sociabilidade capitalista, autovalorização do capital e produtividade do trabalho: subsídios teórico-metodológicos para análise do trabalho do assistente social

Abstract

The present thesis aims to probe the theoretical comprehension on the analitical categories of the productive and unproductive work in order to understand them in the relation to the social worker job. It also intends to probe the disclosure of the abstract dimension of the job, trying to draw reflections which will lead towards a higher knowledge of the social worker job principles and later to a greater comprehension of the forementioned categories in the marxist and marxian thought. The pathway followed to implement the study proposal aforesaid, which will be developed through a theoretical research, is composed by two chapters. The first one is constituted by the theoretical understanding and exposition of some determinations of the capitalist socialibility from the work perspective and productivity: productive and unproductive work. Some other parameters will be analysed: its constitutive dimensions, its insertion in the social relationships and its contemporary settings; whereas the second chapter is constituted by the understanding and explicitness on how the social assistant falls within the social and technical work division; and its salaried condition. Ultimately, some final comments will be drawn on the apprehension of the social workers on the productivity, necessity of a better treatment and understanding of the salaried situation of these professionals, as well as, on the contemporary conditions on which these specialized works are being hired.
