Os significados do trabalho: produção de valores como produção semiótica no capitalismo informacional

Abstract

Re su mo Em qualquer indústria, os processos de trabalho tornaram-se, no capitalismo avançado, essencialmente semióticos, isto é, o trabalhador, ao longo da cadeia produtiva que vem desde a engenharia até o ajuste e controle das máquinas, é empregado para processar informações às quais pode atribuir significados relacionados às suas situações concretas de trabalho. A compreensão desse processo ajuda a entender o conceito marxiano de trabalho concreto e pode contribuir para uma melhor compreensão da natureza do capitalismo informacional que emerge neste início de século.

Understanding this process helps to understand the Marxian concept of concrete labour and can contribute to a better understanding of the nature of the informational capitalism that has been emerging in the beginning of this century.

“…Under certain circumstances, these reactions could be considered productive within the framework of capitalist norms since they allow for the anticipation of problems (based on workers' know-how and experience) or even improve productivity (perhaps even consciously when workers try to find ways to escape from the monotony of the job and innovate their own work). Thanks to computerised automation this know-how is increasingly directed towards labour involving communication between people or between people and machines -the collaborative observation and control of the productive process by means of 'combined work' (Marx, 1984, 1 (2), Chapter 15) that can only function as combined work by means of interaction and communication (Dantas, 2007). However in order to accomplish its part in the process, this work must also be collaborative with the capitalist institution itself:…”
