Classe, cultura e experiência: E.P. Thompson e o culturalismo nas ciências sociais
No full textDissertação (mestrado) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Centro de Filosofia e Ciências Humans. Programa de Pós-graduação em Sociologia PolíticaA proposta da pesquisa é indicar as conseqüências teóricas presentes nas concepções de classe, cultura e experiência em E. P. Thompson por meio de critérios ontológicos do objeto de estudo da Sociologia e do instrumental teórico do Realismo Crítico. Dessa forma, identificamos as possibilidades de um intercâmbio/diálogo entre as categorias de cultura e experiência no âmbito da Antropologia, da Sociologia e da História. Destacamos nesse processo a categoria cultura em relação #àquilo que não é cultura#, i.e., relacionando as condições materiais de existência com as perspectivas de transformação social fundadas na luta, consciência e experiência de classe. Para tanto, analisamos o desenvolvimento teórico de algumas proposições do culturalismo e sua inserção no debate sobre o ser social, bem como o conceito de cultura para Thompson. Abrimos assim a possibilidade do estudo científico do ser social, relacionando as implicações teóricas de sua obra com o modelo transformacional de sociedade delimitado pelo Realismo Crítico de Roy Bhaskar Para contextualizar os debates, sistematizamos as críticas de Thompson às tendências funcionalistas das Ciências Sociais e discutimos alguns críticos de sua obra. Como conclusão, apontamos as contribuições de Thompson ao amplo debate das Ciências Sociais no campo dos estudos sobre cultura e sociedade, sem perder de vista ou abandonar os referenciais marxistas de sua obra no intuito de afastá-lo da corrente culturalista pósmoderna a que é, por vezes, impropriamente vinculado. The aim of this research is to indicate the theoretical consequences within the categories of class, culture and experience in E. P. Thompson by relating them with the ontological criteria of sociology#s subject of study and the achievements of Critical Realism theory. Doing that we hope to help to identify the possibilities of an exchange/dialog between the categories of culture and experience within Anthropology, Sociology and History
