title: The Bureaucratic Urban Management Tools Used in the Implementation of the Onerous Right to Build in the Municipality of São Paulo

description: Abstract The current Strategic Master Plan of the Municipality of São Paulo (MP-MSP) (Municipal Law 16,050/2014) redefined the legal bases of the Onerous Right to Build (ORB). This text tries to understand how the implementation of this instrument, as part of the "urban policies" discussed by Eduardo Marques (2018), impacts the institutional operations of São Paulo city government. This question expresses the problem which guides the studies about: (i) the insertion of the collection of financial revenues related to the ORB as part of the urban licensing processes of the real estate developments; (ii) the monitoring of these processes and the performance of the financial resources collections obtained from the implementation of the ORB for public accountability and (iii) the Management Board of FUNDURB in whose bank account the funds of those financial resources are deposited. The hypothesis asserts that the implementation of ORB requests the inclusion of routinized proceedings and instruments into the public administration. In order to verify that hypothesis, we address analyses about those proceedings and instruments following the neoinstitutional methodologies mentioned by Pierre Lascoumes and Patrick Le Galé (2012). The data and information used in this work come from the interviews with civil servants, internet sites kept by the São Paulo city government institutions and municipal legislations. The descriptions and examinations presented in the article show the ORB as part of the routinized processes and relationships of urban management whose instruments and bureaucratic practices, operated within institutional structures and administrative procedures, mediate the interactions between governmental and non-governmental actors.

title: Neoliberalization of Public Services: the role of the BNDES in Basic Sanitation after 2000

description: Abstract The article analyzes the role of the National Bank for Economic and Social Development (BNDES) in the provision of sanitation in Brazil, in order to understand it within the scope of the neoliberalization process underway in the country since the 1990s. After analysing the rounds of neoliberalization in sanitation, the paper aims to understand the performance of the bank in credit operations, from 2002-2018, as well as its role in structuring concession and privatization projects, post-2016. The analysis of the contracts of the BNDES and its role in modeling privatization, concession and public-private partnerships projects, observing the new regulatory and institutional arrangements, allows us to understand the Bank's relationship with the federated entities in the provision of public sanitation services and the new State spaces that emerge from the neoliberalization process. The process of privatization of the sanitation sector underway in Brazil is expressed in the bank's performance, whether due to the profile of the borrowing companies - private and mixed capital companies with open capital -, or when it plays the role of think tank and structurer of models of privatizations and concessions in the basic sanitation sector in Brazil.

title: Município VerdeAzul Program: an integrated environmental management analysis in the state of São Paulo

description: Abstract This study analyzed the environmental management in the municipalities in the state of São Paulo based on the results of the program “Município VerdeAzul” (PMVA) [GreenBlue municipalities program], relating them to population size, public environmental expenditures and health conditions of the population. Data from 2008 to 2013 were collected from public databases and analyzed using descriptive statistics techniques, multilevel analysis, correlation and the construction of maps to represent the geographic distribution of the indicators. The paper evidences discontinuity in the adhesion to PMVA, as well as intraregional and interregional differences in the environmental performance with concentration of the worst results in the southern region of the state, which is not explained by population size. The ten cities identified with the best environmental performance were: Novo Horizonte, Santa Rosa de Viterbo, Santa Fé do Sul, Itu, Gabriel Monteiro, Sorocaba, Franca, Piacatu, Dirce Reis and Lins. In addition, analysis showed the inexistence of a pattern of environmental investment in the state. It was also observed that the amount of environmental expenditure is slightly and positively correlated with PMVA performance and with lower hospitalization rates for diarrheal diseases in children. This study helps public decision-making, enabling an integrated and holistic view of environmental management in São Paulo.

title: If this street were mine, I’d get it paved: social conflicts regarding the organization of urban space and the struggle for meaning between discourses and [r]existence

description: Abstract This paper analyzed the urban intervention of requalification in Porto Cais Mauá, located in one of Brazil’s greatest metropolis, Porto Alegre, in order to verify how social conflicts are described according to a discursive practice of social character in the organization of Cais Mauá’s urban space. Our approach was qualitative in nature and poststructuralist in scope, and it was based on the perspective of Laclau and Mouffe’s Theory of Discourse. A research archive containing 147 items was produced, among them: reports, interviews, images and documents that were analyzed in order to reveal discourses with help of Foucauldian discourse analysis. The NVivo qualitative analysis software was used to decode the information and organize the file data. The results indicate that the conflicts point to four discursive formations: on the one hand, two formations favorable to requalification, anchored in the conception of modernization and development of the city; on the other, a position opposed to it, with two discursive formations, based on the conviction that the way in which the project is being proposed does not meet social needs. Chains of equivalence and differences show disputes of Cais Mauá meanings according to their peculiarities, nevertheless, they share some commonalities: a multifaceted concept of city. On the one hand, a concept based on megastructures, great ventures and economic value, and on the other hand, a model based on participation, transparency, conviviality and preservation through social actions in the form of resistance. The perspectives discussed provide new guidelines for the debate on city organization under discursive, critical and symbolic contexts.

title: Practices and mechanisms of social technology: a model proposition from an experience in the semi-arid region of Ceará

description: Abstract Growing social inequalities, which trigger and accentuate social exclusion and poverty, have reinforced the relevance of social innovation to formulate alternative responses to what has been offered in models consolidated by the status quo. This study analyzes social innovation through the lens of social technology, a concept developed and documented by Latin American researchers. Considering the relevance of social technologies for the transformation of disadvantaged social scenarios, this study offers a central contribution: a conceptual model of processual nature that allows for the identification of key mechanisms underlying the transformation promoted by a social technology. The results were produced from a single, in-depth case study of a civil society organization of public interest that has been promoting social transformations in the semi-arid region of Ceará, mainly contributing to reduce the exodus of young people by the promotion of rural entrepreneurship. As a result of this analysis, we developed a conceptual model to theorize social technologies that can contribute to the better understanding of their mechanisms and action model.

title: Contribution of the critical discourse analysis in Norman Fairclough beyond its use as a method: a new perspective on organizations

description: Abstract Several current theoretical approaches have focused on the study of linguistic elements such as discourse and communication in the process of constructing organizations. However, these approaches are based on nominalist and deterministic perspectives, considering that discourses, or even communicational processes generate the organizations themselves, ignoring that such linguistic elements do not have an independent and arbitrary existence in relation to social and material conditions, but represent, realize and strengthen social structures, such as classes and the market. In this essay, I argue that the social theory of discourse present in the theoretical-methodological approach of critical discourse analysis (CDA) in Norman Fairclough, usually applied in Organizational Studies as a methodological tool, can offer a new perspective to understand the construction of organizations.

title: The reconciliation between economic and social in the notion of social enterprise: limits and possibilities (in the Brazilian context)

description: Abstract The text aims to highlight different attributes related to the concept of social enterprise, to contribute to the specification of possible uses. It starts from the following question: what notions qualify the variety of meanings attributed to practices linked to the expression social enterprise? The notion of social enterprise derives from the questioning about the limits of exclusively economic, monetary-based initiatives, regarding the capacity to respond to social demands, it represents, to a certain extent, the resurgence of experiences that mobilize varied purposes between economic and social logic. However, the extension of the notion of social enterprises in the world has been open to different and even conflicting interpretations, between an Anglo-Saxon version, a classic European version and a Latin American and a renewed European version (Laville, Young & Eynaud, 2014). It is under such bias that the term may occur, in different contexts, as social business, third sector, social economy or solidarity economy, as we have pointed out here.

title: Labor renormalizations and workplace infidelities in the glass industry: an ergological analysis

description: Abstract Based on an ergological approach to labor relations, this article analyzes the “dramatics” involved in the processes of renormalization in work situations in a glass processing company. For data analysis, a methodological triangulation was performed through documentary survey, direct observation of work, and semi-structured interviews. We used content analysis, with categories-defined post analysis, namely: (1) In addition to prescription: the use of self at work and recognition; (2) Hierarchical management: the lack of valorization of workers’ knowledge; and (3) Dramatics: in pursuit of production goals and losses. Analysis showed that the management of uses of the self by operators from the three production lines renormalize their activities based on individual values and the environment and on the collective knowledge of this workplace. Such renormalizations involve dramatic, due to the confrontations experienced in the pursuit of the goals of production and reduction of procedural losses in an infidel environment, where the organization of work is guided by hierarchical values, with the valuation of compliance with orders involved in poor communication between levels or the recognition of workers’ knowledge.

title: Factors influencing citizens’ willingness to co-produce: a study from the perspective of citizens residing in the Brazilian Federal District

description: Abstract Co-production emerges as a trend in the relationship between citizens and government, enabling participation in public activities. This study verified factors that influence citizens’ willingness to co-produce public safety, health, and environmental services in the Brazilian Federal District (Distrito Federal brasileiro - DF), as well as their profile and habits. A survey adapted from the works of Löffler et al. (2008) and Alford and Yates (2016) was performed, with analyses being made from Student’s T-Test, Spearman’s Correlation Coefficient, and linear regression models. From the responses of 360 inhabitants of the DF, it was found that citizens collaborate more with health, environment, and safety services, in this order, and that in the future they intend to co-produce more than today. It was concluded that the safer a citizen feels, the lower the willingness to co-produce; and the healthier one is, the greater the willingness to co-produce. It was also found that the time devoted to volunteer activities positively influences the willingness to co-produce in these three areas. The study illustrates the behavior of citizens willing to engage in the co-production of public services, gathering information for future researchers on the subject, and exploring variables not yet considered in other Brazilian co-production studies.

title: Racial relations and life stories: focus on black industrial workers

description: Abstract The construction of black identities in Brazil is marked by several struggles that directly influence recent institutional advances in this subject and contribute to the deconstruction of the racial democracy myth. This paper analyzes how elements related to racial relations are presented in the life stories of black industrial workers. For such, we discuss elements constitutive of the construction of black identities in Brazil, as well as the idea of racial democracy. By using the inductive method, data collection based on life stories was performed and treated by structuralist discourse analysis, especially concerning social-historic elements present in their discourse. The main data present racial relations in Leila and Clovis’ stories, our research subjects, hers being a story of a political position regarding miscegenation and his the story of a racism victim. The main conclusions suggest that even with institutional advances of the black movement in Brazil, consciousness about self-blackness is the first step for black people to effectively occupy any place they want in society.

title: Between ownership and access: understanding the extension of the self in collaborative consumption

description: Abstract This paper analyzes how the extension of the self in the practice of collaborative consumption in the system of sharing of bicycles of Pernambuco takes place. It has a qualitative approach, collecting the data through participant observation on Bike PE platforms and individual unstructured interviews with 24 project users. Social-hermeneutical discourse analysis was used to analyze the data. The possibility of cycling provided by Bike PE represents the opportunity to reaffirm and build certain identity elements, especially those related to the social and collective aspects that stimulate joint and/or interactive actions. Thus, two elements constitute the development and extension of identity in the collaborative practice of Bike PE users: the relational self and the influencing and idealistic self. Many users were shown to already possess a bicycle, indicating that the consumer is willing to experiment new business models without abandoning previous consumer practices such as the acquisition of a good. With a multifaceted identity, individuals want to increase their possibilities of extension and construction of self through access and possession, and the use of the referred product is a central element in the construction and extension of identity, regardless of whether the object used being their own or not.

title: “There’s a lot of woman in him”: the feminine as a deviance from the norm

description: Abstract This article seeks to understand how femininity is understood by organizations from the perspective of masculine homosexuals, with a special focus on the concept of Ableism. In this qualitative research, data was collected through in-depth interviews with 13 masculine homosexuals living in the state of Rio de Janeiro and the corpus was analysed using Content Analysis (Bardin, 2009). Our field research showed that effeminate gays and women are considered to be inferior to those people with heteromasculine behavior. In this context, femininity within the organizational environment is considered as a deficiency, and those who have this deficiency are excluded from this environment or encouraged to overcome this deficiency.

title: Citizen participation: digital governance’s gap in Brazilian public authorities and educational foundations

description: Abstract This study helps to fulfil a research gap pointed out by Cunha and Miranda (2013) when exploring the social consequences created by the adoption of Digital Governance best practices within Brazilian public authorities and educational foundations. Therefore, the study both measures and describes the level of Digital Governance (DG) in 108 entities that act throughout the country, using a factorial structure that was previously validated. By measuring the entities’ DG levels, we have generated a group of organizational scores listed in a ranking and, using this unidimensional statistic scaling, we arranged the entities based on their DG performance levels. We describe a four-level distribution (A, B, C and D) throughout the Brazilian territory. The Brazilian South-Eastern region concentrates the highest number of entities. However, the Central region has the highest proportion of level “A” entities (with the highest DG levels). The results point out that the largest gap on achieving Digital Governance in Brazil lies in the adoption of mechanisms for social participation on the websites, such as feedback and popular consultations tools. Evidence shows that this is a political-managerial gap, associated with the implementation of e-democracy.

title: Coping with conflicting institutional logics: a study of profit and gain sharing

description: Abstract Since the 1990s, profit and gain sharing systems are part of the reality of Brazilian workers. The aim of the present study was to investigate how an organization responds to conflicting institutional demands throughout the period: from adoption to the decline of a practice. A twenty-years longitudinal case study was carried out in industrial company in São Paulo which implemented a profit and gain sharing system. This paper sheds light on how an organization response can change over time. Acquiescence was the initial response, followed by decoupling and dilution. This response dynamics sequence was observed during of transition, which represented a movement in the direction of the replacing of a dominant logic by another one. At the beginning of the period, the profit and gain sharing system was little known in Brazil, and there was a powerful appeal to implement it, consistent with the logic of increasing productivity improvement. Over time, however, the logic of social protection of workers became the prevailing logic in the field. Even so, its internal representation was postponed, due to external jolts, and due to the influence and co-optation strategies employed by the most powerful group. While literature has depicted that such a group imposes its views in the presence of multiple internal representations of conflicting logics, findings in this study suggest that the use of influence and co-optation can also happen in cases of a single internal representation. The study contributes to the treatment of the internal representation of the logics as a dynamic process, subject to the interference of actors and environmental jolts.

title: Commodification & countermovement: community-supported agriculture (CSA): a case study in Minas Gerais, Brazil

description: Abstract The conventional way of producing and distributing food is based on the use of agrochemicals, fertilizers, industrial fertilizers and other techniques from the Green Revolution, with increasing dependence on financial-industrial capital, which implies the intensification of the agriculture commodification. The object of this study was the emergence of modes of organization resisting this trend. Based on the theoretical reference of Karl Polanyi (2012a, 2012b), a case study was developed in a Community-Supported Agriculture (CSA) initiative. It is a movement that resituates agricultural production through the principles of fair trade, agroecology and the use of short supply chains, which bring production and consumption closer together. The result is a better nutritious quality food at affordable and fair price. The analysis of the CSA Alfa case points to the coexistence of different principles of regulation, in a combination of mercantile exchange and reciprocity. According to the proposition by Karl Polanyi, the economic activity is shown to imbricate with the social aspect, of which friendship, tolerance, fidelity and commitment establish a community ethos around food. The CSA seems to manifest a countermovement to the commodification by enhancing the relative autonomy of individuals that elevates the social cohesion of the participating groups.

title: A local productive arrangement from the perspective of cultural regulation theory: the case of Porto Digital encompassing Portomídia

description: Abstract This study describes how the process of cultural regulation occurs in the expansion of the center for information and communication technology Porto Digital, turning local a pole of creative economy called Portomídia - Center of Entrepreneurship and Technology of the Creative Economy. Under the prism of cultural studies, based on cultural regulation theory, we analyze the present articulated meanings to expand the scope of this technological system. We developed an embedded case study to evaluate the local productive arrangement Porto Digital with different levels or units of analysis involving assessments on cultural regulation in the areas of institutional, economic and subjective power. These analytical categories were based on the analysis of the influence of economic power (class system) and institutional power (rules and regulations) on the configuration of this cluster of creativity-intensive enterprises. In turn, subjective power manifests itself in the entrepreneurial act as a fundamental political action for the expansion of the creative pole.

title: Samarco and the Fundão dam rupture: when strategizing loses its operational track and becomes a discursive exercise of sensegiving

description: Abstract This study analyzes how the sensegiving process present in the narrative of Samarco as a strategic practice regarding the rupture in the Fundão dam. This is a qualitative research based on secondary data that included 307 files (893 pages) from the Samarco website, 297 files (647 pages) from the Fundação Renova website and 52 videos (191 minutes) from the Youtube channel Samarco Mineração. At first, a content analysis was performed to observe the content directives provided by the company since the dam rupture. From the analysis were inferred six narrative moments. Ever since the dam incident, the company showed a discursive strategy grounded on presenting a sensegiving process concerning the return of its operations.
