O trabalho na contemporaneidade: análise das implicações subjetivas em um agente autônomo da bolsa de valores

Abstract

Work plays a central role in the comprehension of man as a social being. Changes in it´s configuration affect man´s socialization and ways of being, what turns the analysis of it´s repercussion in the subjectification process fundamental. The rise of neoliberalism and financial capitalism cause a rupture in the way work had been producing identity processes. Here we intend to comprehend the way such transformations appear in the speech of a worker whose activity is typical from the contemporaneous society, a stockbroker. The case study was conduced thru a semi-structured interview. It was observed: a growth in the individualism; the fading of the frontiers between professional and personal life; the permanence of worker´s alienation towards the result of it´s activity; the construction of identity through work. There is no defence of the previous working configurations but an emphasis on the multiplicity of subjective productions that come from a working logic increasingly diffuse and vulnerable.
