O trabalho do Assistente Social numa unidade de Internação do DEGASE: uma análise das racionalidades que organizam o processo de trabalho na socioeducação

Abstract

The present dissertation approaches the labor of the social laborer as part of a collective labor process in a unit of compliance of socio-educational measure of hospitalization of the General Department of Socio-educational Actions (DEGASE) in the State of Rio de Janeiro. The research was conducted from the apprehension of the labor of the social worker as concrete labor whose determinations are given by the institutional dynamics of a unit whose practices and subjects conform a modality of social and combined labor that articulates the coercive and pedagogical functions that come to characterize the of the state from the monopoly phase of capital. These functions are materialized in the field of implementation of a public policy directed at young offenders, mediated by articulating the sanctioning, procedural and socio-educational dimensions, as a function of linking the unit to the Rights Guarantee System and other sectoral social policies as advocated by the System National Socio-Educational Actions (SINASE). The research was carried out through a process of observation and recording that resulted in an effort to systematize the experience during the last two years of acting in the unit of the researcher herself. Guided by participant observation and documentary analysis, research was problematized based on the contributions of the debates on labor process and Social Service, on the functions of the State in monopoly capitalism, on intellectual labor in the sphere of ideological domination, on the constitution of the System of Guarantee of Rights and SINASE as determinants for the understanding of the collective labor process in the unit. Structured in four chapters, the dissertation first deals with the professional, methodological and object-delimitation processes, presenting a case report as the guiding thread of the mediations presented in the next three chapters. The second chapter deals with the theoretical foundations underlying the analysis. And chapters three and four analyze the interinstitutional relations of the unit and the requisitions and responses of the social labor in relation to the collective labor process. The results of the research show that the labor of the social laborer at the same time that has the potential to contribute to the socio-educational dimension, still under construction, also participates in the processes of reproduction of the sanctioning and procedural dimensions.
