A racialização como estruturante da questão social : entre silêncios e insurgências na produção de conhecimento em serviço social

Abstract

This thesis focused on the production of knowledge of Social Work about the racialization of capital and the apprehension of this analytical angle in the approach of the social question in Brazil, with the intention of deepening the debate of the social question that considers the particularities of the socio-historical formation. Brazilian society, aiming to contribute to strategies for overcoming racial, class and gender oppression. The main objective was to analyze to what extent the analytical angulation of the racialization of capitalism contributes to the approach of the social question in the production of knowledge in social work. This theoretical doctoral study in Social Work is qualitative in nature. The theoretical assumptions of critical social theory that anchor the research made use of contributions from black feminist thoughts in dialogue with Marxian theory, which ethically and politically guides the project of exercising the category of social workers. To this end, documental and bibliographic research was conducted. The aim was to understand the particularities of the conformation of the social issue in the Brazilian reality from the identification of the analytical angles with which the social issue has been apprehended and problematized by the Social Service in Brazil, and how the issue of racialization has been connecting to the class in your apprehension. The corpus of analysis consisted of articles published in journals indexed to Scielo and Portal de Periódicos da Capes qualified as qualis A1 and A2 in the area. The discursive textual analysis of Roque Moraes was used to apprehend the discourses, prohibitions and meanings attributed in the texts of the corpus of analysis. The texts indicated a low circulation of research conducted on ethnic-racial relations, race and racism in the main journals in the area, with a greater concentration of publications between the years 2020 and 2021, which concentrated 43 of the total of 51 articles published in the last five years old. In 2017, only 2 articles were published and, in 2019, no publication. Another obvious issue is that it can be inferred that the real - whether through the rich production on the subject in theses, dissertations and course conclusion works that have emerged in the last decade, or through the exacerbation of the violence of anti-black racism in Brazil - if imposed in an unavoidable way, forcing journals to embrace the theme, by proposing special dossiers on the subject. This is what a journal did in 2020, publishing 32 articles on the subject. From the analysis conducted, it can be concluded that this discussion is not central to the scientific production that is socialized in the main journals in the area. It is concluded that even the transversality proposed in the ABEPSS guidelines is operationalized. Therefore, with this thesis, we intend to contribute to the expansion of the debate in the area on the social question, strengthening the critical theoretical framework on the approach to inequalities and resistance, having race as a structuring basis of the social question in the Brazilian particularity.
