Entre conservadorismos e rupturas: análise das concepções de profissão orientadoras do trabalho dos/das assistentes sociais em empresas expressas na formação acadêmico-profissional de Serviço Social em Juiz de Fora de 1961 a 2016

Abstract

The present study aims to analyze the conceptions of profession that guide the work of social workers in companies expressed in the academic and professional formation of Social Work in Juiz de Fora from 1961 to 2016, through the analysis of monographs produced on the professional work in companies in this period. The methodological course, carried out through bibliographical research, was oriented to a qualitative analysis of the data found during the investigation. The dissertation is structured in three sections. In the first one are presented questions that touch on the objective of the research, as the transformations occurred in the world of work historically. In the second section, we address issues related to the work of social workers in companies from their origins in Brazil to the construction of a new professional project. In the third section, we present the analysis of the monographs of each decade, emphasizing the conservatism as the central feature of the conception of the profession guiding the work of social workers in companies in the 1960s; the transition of conservatism to rupture in the 1970s and 1980s and the hegemony of the rupture with the conservatism as a hallmark of professional work in companies in the 1990s and 2000s. Based on the analyzes, the premise was confirmed that professional work in companies metamorphoses from endogenous and exogenous changes that are expressed in different conceptions of profession in each historical context.
