Práticas discursivas e produção de sentidos nos estudos organizacionais: a contribuição do Construcionismo Social

Abstract

From the interpretative paradigm and the interdisciplinary character that it comes permeating the organization studies in the last years, this paper has the objective to explore, in the scope of social psychology, a proposal theoretical-methodological for the study of the making sense in the daily. Based on discursive practices, it also try to establish the making sense in the same place to the social constructionism movement that, aligned to the postmodernist debate, follow a rupture position with the traditional way to make science and try to overcome the duality subject-object, pointing out the knowledge in the interaction social processes. Although the paper emphasizes the social psychology perspective, the making sense is necessarily an interdisciplinary approach, which allows joining it with the science of management and, consequently, a possible incorporation of its assumptions to the organizational analysis.
