O Serviço Social na história: um estudo introdutório a partir da produção crítica do Serviço Social

Abstract

This Final Course Work aims to analyze Social Work in history through critical productions of Social Work and, for this purpose, a bibliographic review was used. Initially, based on the work of the author Marilda Iamamoto in partnership with Raul de Carvalho, “Social Relations and Social Service in Brazil” (1982), we sought to understand Social Work inserted in the production and reproduction of social relations, using historical-critical materialism, so that, in later moments, we could delve into the genesis of the profession and the contemporary challenges that are posed to Social Work, analyzed from the perspective of Netto (1991). In conclusion, a clear relationship was observed between the past and the present of the profession. By analyzing the way in which historical events, contextualized, impacted Social Work, we perceive the importance of carrying out a historical rescue for the valorization and for the continuity of the hegemony of the Ethical-political Project of the profession.
