Abstract

This research is about the act of transfering work responsibilities to others. The focus here is the use of this strategy into Juiz de Fora Federal University from 1990 to nowadays. This strategy is linked to some important changes which are taking place in Brazil. The National State has been facing a fiscal and legitimacy crisis which starts in 1970. This situation is conceived as a step of world capitalism. In Brazil specific case, we can observe that the goverment administration is based on neoliberal ideas. The objective is to reduce State expenses, services and staff , as well. We are considering people who work regularly to State in different conditions such as private, public or through transfer of work. The last one is the act of transfering to others, in different ways, all the work responsibilities. This strategy is much used by UFJF. It means different work conditions among its workers. The consequences ask for studies which can multiply questions about contradictions related to capital and work.
