TRABALHO PRECARIZADO E SEQUESTRO DA SUBJETIVIDADE: UM ESTUDO SOBRE FORMAS DE CONTROLE DA SUBJETIVIDADE DE AGENTES DE VIAGENS EM MOSSORÓ/RN
Get PDFO estudo teve como objetivo geral conhecer as condições e relações de trabalho existentes nas agências de viagens do município de Mossoró/RN, analisando como se dá o processo de flexibilização organizacional e a inserção dos agentes de viagens nas estratégias empresariais. Para tanto, foi realizado um desvendamento teórico em busca de compreender as condições e relações laborais no capitalismo de Acumulação Flexível e caracterizar o mercado em questão na cidade de Mossoró/RN. O método de investigação enfatizou o levantamento teórico complementado com a realização de 05 (cinco) entrevistas estruturadas com agentes de viagens. Os resultados demonstram que as agências de viagens adotam um modelo de gestão flexível permeado por estratégias de controle moral e emocional e de poder cognitivo e comportamental sobre os agentes. A cooptação da subjetividade desses trabalhadores não se limita ao campo da racionalidade; as significações imperceptíveis aos indivíduos se desenvolvem no interior das relações sociais e são condicionantes não só no cotidiano laboral, mas também fora dele, já que os sujeitos se dispõem a levar a lógica relacional e simbólica do trabalho para casa. Identificou-se, ainda, que o agente de viagens possui características do novo precariado turístico, haja vista a sua instabilidade quanto ao mercado de trabalho, a ansiedade pela manutenção do vínculo empregatício, as frágeis condições e relações de trabalho estabelecidas no interior da empresa e fora dela, e, ademais, a submissão às práticas de controle em troca da garantia de emprego e remuneração
PROCEDIMIENTO PARA LA EVALUACION DE LA SOSTENIBILIDAD DE LOS DESTINOS TURISTICOS
Get PDFLos estudios sobre la dinámica del sistema turístico en Cuba presentan al destino como un espacio que basa su gestión en las funciones que desempeñan, generando problemas de fragmentación que impiden visualizar y gestionar las interacciones que deben existir entre las partes. El crecimiento acelerado de los destinos turísticos y la complejidad de los procesos que en el concurren, exige la búsqueda de instrumentos que faciliten evaluar su sostenibilidad. En este sentido la presente investigación tiene como objetivo proponer un procedimiento para evaluar la sostenibilidad de los destinos turísticos con un enfoque a procesos, tomando como base las experiencias en el sector empresarial que refiere la literatura científica consultada, apoyada fundamentalmente en los métodos de síntesis de la bibliografía sobre el tema objeto de estudio, el análisis comparativo, estadística descriptiva y el método Delphi. Los principales resultados están asociados con entender y reconocer a los destinos como una organización sistémica, que sustentan la justificación de adaptar y conceptualizar los basamentos del enfoque a procesos en un procedimiento
SOFRIMENTO NO TRABALHO: UM CAMPO DE LUTA NO TURISMO
Get PDFA que deve o trabalhador renunciar para se adaptar à organização do trabalho? Neste trabalho, de caráter ensaístico e crítico, propomos estabelecer uma interface entre trabalho, sofrimento e arte, nos limites entre a força de trabalho marxista, o pulsional freudiano e a loucura do trabalho dejouriana, para problematizar a exploração do trabalho. Buscamos esse nexo através de duas séries de instalações artísticas de Adriana Varejão, Línguas e Cortes (1997-2003) e Charques (1999-2018), cujas obras nos impõem o olhar para o tema. Arriscamos o caráter fragmentado dos encontros evocados para reapresentar e interpretar o sofrimento na histórica relação das forças produtivas, da qual o turismo não escapa. Desapropriado de sua intelectualidade, individualizado da coletividade e limitado em relação às necessidades do seu corpo, o trabalhador precisa resistir. O sofrimento é proposto como campo de luta entre o desejo do trabalhador e a demanda da organização do trabalho, como uma estratégia possível de negociação do trabalhador para não adoecer

GENDER APPROACH TO COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF POPULAR CULTURE
Get PDFPopular cultures have always been a vast field of interest for researchers. Folklore helps to throw light on the way people see, comprehend and interpret the world. Folklore is a source of information concerning culture, the way people see and reflect the world in their language, the way they word their views on traditions and customs, the way they communicate and express themselves. Folklore in linguistic cultures is represented in different spectra of the language, but the most vivid is the level of proverbs, sayings and aphorisms. For this reason proverbs and sayings have always attracted attention of scholars in our country and abroad. A lot of linguistic research is dedicated to this reach level of language. However the gender approach to analyzing folklore in different linguistic cultures has not been applied before. In this paper we make an attempt to analyze the proverbs with gender component in English and Tatar linguistic cultures languages from the point of view of their proverbial markers, particularly their outer form, semantic mechanisms of their formation, syntactic structure and consequently the national peculiarities of proverbs in the English and Tatar languages. In this work we use comparative method to provide the linguistic description of the proverbs with gender component so that to identify such markers as their phonic means, syntactic structure and semantic mechanisms of formation. The research shows that English and Tatar proverbs are mainly based on the same semantic mechanisms; both have peculiar outer form, especially Tatar ones, but have a different syntactic structure, which can be explained by different type of word order and different means of language economy. Gender component contributes to the peculiarity of proverbs, especially in the way of forming metaphors and paradoxes, but does not play the most important role in reflecting the folklore peculiarity of the linguistic culture
