A educação do trabalhador frente as exigências do capital em crise: em foco a particularidade brasileira

Abstract

Work, as an ontological category, as rescued by Gyorgy Lukács, from the works of Karl Marx, takes on another character, in the current form of sociability. From this perspective, this research aims to analyze how the professional education of Brazilian workers, crossed by the continuous flow of capital logic, in the period from 2009 to 2020 has reverberated in workers. This is because, in Brazil and in the world, the social, political and economic framework expresses the different nuances of the capital crisis, which had the financial crisis of the American real estate system (2008), as one of the forms of its phenomenal expressions. This crisis later arrived in Brazil, in a more forceful way in 2014, affecting the labor market nationally. In this perspective, we aim to research the training made available to Brazilian workers, making a historical recovery of how professional qualification comes, mainly, in the proposed period, educating for unemployment. Thus, we will rely on Marx, particularly in Capital, as well as in important interpreters of Marxist thought, such as Lukács, to understand the category of work, both in its ontological sense and in the perspective of alienated work. Mészaros, in turn, will provide us with the elements for understanding the increasingly growing crises of the capital system. We will use contemporary authors to understand the logic that guides the training of new workers based on employability pseudo-concepts. We understand that since the last crisis, unemployment rates have increased more and more sharply over the years, tending to increase, mainly, from the year 2020, the year in which the pandemic crisis of the new coronavirus began. This context distances the search for professional qualification courses, because in an increasingly unpredictable market, individuals lose confidence in the courses, as they fear not being hired. In addition, we envision horizons of human emancipation, a project currently paralyzed within the context of the current form of sociability.
