Profissionalismo e diferença de gênero na Defensoria Pública do Rio de Janeiro

Abstract

This research has the intention propose an academy discussion the different perceptions about gender inside of Rio de Janeiro State Public Defender’s Office, tending for a Sociology of Professions end a Sociology of Law, where the informal social practices establish different arrangements inside of institutions with ruled and formals contexts. The sexual career script concept helped me think in the different perceptions between genders, where women could suffer about less credentials inside of institution, changing, because of that, their professional projections. The research sought to make a study not about a male and female profile but about what the public defender of Rio de Janeiro thought based on different perceptions about the gender. Moreover, categories such as professionalism, experience, market shelters, credential systems and presumption of competence used to base the different opportunities for women and men in formal and institutionalized practices such as the State Public Defender’s Office of Rio.
