O jogo social e a produção de acontecimentos no território: o caso da Rede Arrozeiras do Sul

Abstract

ResumoNeste artigo, identificamos e analisamos as características das relações entre atores sociais e governamentais na produção de acontecimentos visando ao desenvolvimento local. É fruto de um estudo de caso qualitativo sobre a Rede Arrozeiras do Sul, formada a partir do Programa Redes de Cooperação. Para mapeamento e compreensão das relações entre os atores sociais, utilizamos a teoria da produção social de Carlos Matus. As categorias analíticas buscadas em Milton Santos orientaram a compreensão das relações entre os atores e o lugar. Pudemos observar nas relações entre os atores sociais, a produção de fenoestruturação social, ou seja, mesmo que a rede tenha sido criada segundo regras determinadas -as genoestruturas −, os atores que a formam produzem novos fluxos e acumulações, capazes de gerar mudanças nas regras iniciais e, consequentemente, no e para o lugar. Os acontecimentos produzidos e analisados permitiram inferir que as relações entre os atores sociais, em articulação com o território, produzindo e sendo produzidas pelas territorialidades, geram acontecimentos nos lugares e, a depender da direção dos recortes e das forças, indicam as possibilidades de desenvolvimento. Palavras-chave:Redes organizacionais. Jogo social. Produção de acontecimentos. Território. AbstractIn this article we identify and analyze the characteristics of the relations between social and governmental actors in the production of events aiming the local development. It is the result of a qualitative case study on 'Arrozeiras do Sul Network', formed from the Program of Cooperation Networks. For mapping and understanding of the relationship between social actors we used the Theory of Social Production of Carlos Matus. The analytical categories sought in Milton Santos guided the understanding of the relationships between the actors and the place. We observed in the relations between social actors the production of social feno-structuring , i.e., even if the network has been created within certain rules -the geno-structures -the actors who form it produce new flows and accumulations which are able to generate changes in original rules and therefore in and for the place. The events produced and analyzed allowed to infer that the relations between social actors, in conjunction with the territory, producing and being produced by territorialities generate events in places and, depending on the direction of the slots and forces, indicate the possibilities of development.

Overcoming Dichotomies through Space: the Contribution of Dialectical Materialism to Organization Studies

“…In the presented case, events involving social actors interacting with each other established different flows of resources with territory insiders and outsiders. The creation of networks with outsider actors disempowered the organization with internal actors, and showed the dialectical social relation between spatial links and development, as capable of changing the territory: "the relations between actors […] producing and being produced by territorialities can, effectively, generate events in the territory" (COSTA; GOULART, 2011GOULART, , p. 1013.…”

“…However, I will continue by rejecting the existence of the dichotomy and present the main proposition of this paper through the use of the categories of space and time on the light of the key Marxist geographers that have discussed them. As explored in the following section, although these concepts are yet undertheorized in the field of Management and Organization Studies (hereafter MOS) -and empirical applications are particularly rare -some contributions have already acknowledged their importance in the field (COSTA; GOULART, 2011;DALE, 2005). In the last section, some theoretical implications for MOS will be drawn, summarizing the key aspects of having space and time as key analytical categories.…”

A produção social da organização do transporte coletivo urbano rodoviário de Porto Alegre - 2012-14

“…It is a procedural approach in which the central reference is action in situations of shared power. Although formulated as a support for a planning method (Strategic Situational Planning), TSP has been used by a few authors as a tool for analyzing public policies (see, e.g., Misoczky, 2002;Rosa Filho, 2007;Costa and Goulart, 2011). 1 This same path was taken in the study from which this article originated.…”

Investigating the political economy of the territory: The contradictory responses of organisations to spatial inequality

“… 2. In MOS, Santos is widely unknown, with rare exceptions of exploratory investigations of the Brazilian reality in Portuguese. These include, for example, investigations aimed at identifying links between development and resource flows between territory insiders and outsiders (Costa and Goulart, 2011) and the power relations that harness the capacity of state organisations in marginal spaces (Brulon and Peci, 2018). …”
