O diálogo nas práticas organizativas de economia solidária

Abstract

The present monographic work seeks to answer the following research problem: from the model of self-management in cooperative enterprises of Solidary Economy, how is communication characterized? Based on field research activities and theoretical reflection, we propose, as a general objective, to analyze the characteristics of communication in organizational self - management processes in Solidarity Economy projects located in the cities of Santa Maria - RS, Itajaí - SC and Florianópolis SC . The specific objectives are: (1) to study the characteristics of the communication processes in organizational practices in Solidarity Economy projects present in the Santa Maria, Itajaí and Florianópolis regions; (2) understand the processes of cooperative self-management through regional enterprises of Solidarity Economy; And (3) identify the existence of aspects of dialogic communication in the context of Solidarity Economy organizations present in Santa Maria, Itajaí and Florianópolis. From the perspective of the communication, the author Freire (1983, 1987) was used as a theoretical basis in order to understand his concept of communication and to study elements that make up the idea of dialogue. Later, in order to base the concepts on Solidary Economy and self-management, authors and researchers like Gaiger (2006) and Singer and Souza (2000) were used. As a field research method, interviews, documentary analysis and observation of meetings were used based on the concepts investigated, having as its axis the formation of a conceptual framework for understanding dialogue and self-management. The research allowed the elaboration of the relationship between dialogicity and self-management in the ambit of the Solidarity Economy: cooperativism, through collective production, catalyzed the development of self-management. Communication for the political action of workers made possible the development of dialogue as a basis for critical awareness and emancipation. Self-management, as mediation by sharing actions, and dialogue, as a processual construction of a system of reciprocity of symbolic values, try to unify by collective praxis and participation. The organizational practices of Solidarity Economy seek to consolidate self-management and dialogue in their everyday praxis and have as their greatest challenge the overcoming of antidialogicity and domination of the culture of capitalist oppression that still inhibits the voice and engages the development of collective action of the movement.
