Estado, ideologia e economia solidária : uma análise do Proninc

Abstract

The working world is under continuous transformation, periodically reshaping itself in order to maintain the market’s interests. These transformations result in a process of cyclical crises, changing the production, intensifying unemployment and limiting access to the formal labor market. Within this reality, informal work begins to rise, presenting itself as an income alternative to those who are excluded from the formal labor market. Among the various types of informal work, solidarity economy is consolidated. In this context, the purpose of this research is to analyze the relationship between the State and solidarity economy, through the actions of the Secretaria Nacional de Economia Solidária – SENAES, together with the Programa Nacional de Incubadoras de Cooperativas Populares- PRONINC, in order to comprehend the elements and contradictions that permeate this relation and to contribute to its uncovering. The methodology of this research is based on a critical dialectical method, which appears in the investigation of the contemplated reality in the subject matter. The research sample’s universe are the managers of the Social Incubator, located in Porto Alegre’s metropolitan area, as well as the documental analysis of Decree nº 7.357, of November 17, 2010, which provides information about PRONINC and about PRONINC’s evaluation report, published in 2017. For the development of this study, an exploratory type research with a qualitative approach was conducted, in order to deepen the knowledge in this matter and to meet reality from the research subjects' perspective. The data analysis was made from the content analysis based on Roque Moraes theory. The construction of this research is organized in five chapters. Starts with a theoretical framework, allowing the reader to approach the main categories (State, Ideology and Solidarity Economy). The categories are subdivided in the first chapters, providing a dialogue between various authors, in order to understand the different concepts about these matters. The last chapter presents an analysis of the PRONINC and its ideological dimensions, based on the results achieved through the data analysis, providing a dialogue on solidarity economy and the ideological aspects that compose it, the apprehension of social incubators about their limits and possibilities along the university extension and an interlocution about PRONINC as a public policy.
