This paper aims to identify the problems and difficulties faced by the fairgrounds and consumers of the free market of São Domingos do Prata. To do so, we sought to understand the profile and behavior of consumers from different social classes, as well as the profile, characteristics and perceptions of marketers, in relation to the fair. A non-probabilistic, descriptive survey was carried out for accessibility, with the application of 51 semi-structured questionnaires, using the survey. Semi-structured interviews were also held with the 18 marketers. The results showed that consumers visit the fair in search of better quality natural products, more affordable prices and the appreciation of small producers. The organization and location of the fair, days of operation and public support stand out as dysfunctions and problems reported by the fair.
ResumoDiante do constante interesse pelo vitalismo no pensamento sociológico atual, alguns escritores procuram resgatar e enfatizar o papel precursor de Georg Simmel (1858-1918 para o desenvolvimento de uma sociologia vitalista -a partir do início do século XX. Tendo em vista esta atenção recorrente dada ao autor alemão, este artigo procura aprofundar a relação entre o vitalismo e Simmel, no intuito de apresentar a construção do vitalismo sociológico por parte deste autor. Este trabalho está organizado em duas partes. Na primeira, será explanado o desenvolvimento da corrente vitalista na Alemanha -centrada em uma crítica epistemológica ao racionalismo moderno -no decorrer do século XIX. Na segunda parte, será inicialmente demonstrado como o vitalismo -do ponto de vista da epistemologia -contribuiu para que Simmel desenvolvesse um pensamento vitalista relacionado à sociologia do conhecimento. Posteriormente, será enfatizado como o autor -partindo da sociologia do conhecimento conectada ao vitalismo -compreendeu a dinâmica do ambiente social, bem como a modernidade. Palavras-chave: Simmel; sociologia do conhecimento; vitalismo; racionalismo; epistemologia.
AbstractFaced with the constant interest in vitalism in current sociological thinking, some writers seek to rescue and emphasize Georg Simmel's pioneering role for the development of a vitalist sociologyfrom the beginning of the twentieth century. In view of this recurrent attention given to the German author, this article seeks to deepen the relationship between vitalism and Simmel, in order to present the construction of sociological vitalism on the part of this author. This work is organized in two parts. In the first, the development of the vitalist current in Germany -centered on an epistemological critique of modern rationalism -will be explained in the course of the nineteenth century. In the second part, it will be shown how vitalism -from the point of view of epistemology -contributed to Simmel developing a vitalist thinking related to the sociology of knowledge. Subsequently, it will be emphasized how the author -starting from the sociology of knowledge connected to vitalism -understood the dynamics of the social environment as well as modernity.
In recent decades, issues related to Social and Environmental Responsibility and sustainable growth in organizations have been constantly debated by society. This study aimed to identify the main social and environmental projects in a cosmetics industry, as well as to understand the perception of local residents and beneficiaries regarding the actions developed by the company.
