This licentiate’s thesis consists of two essays on immigrant self-employment and labour supply. The first essay (co-author Mats Hammarstedt), Intergenerational transmissions in immigrant self-employment: Evidence from three generations, reviews intergenerational transmissions in immigrant self-employment over three generations. More precisely, we study whether self-employment is transferred both from grandfather to grandson and from father to son, as well as if there are any differences between immigrant groups and differences between immigrants and natives. In addition, we investigate the importance of the intergenerational transfer of general and specific human capital for choice of business line. The results show that having a self-employed father and self-employed grandfather have a strong positive effect on self-employment propensities for male third-generation immigrants. On the other hand, natives were found to transfer self-employment from father to son, but not from grandfather to grandson. The results also indicate that immigrants inherit self-employment abilities from their self-employed fathers increasing the self-employment propensity, but not necessarily in the same business line. In contrast, native self-employed fathers transfer human capital to their sons making them more prone to become self-employed in the same business line as the father is in. The second essay, Female immigrant labour supply: The effect of an in-work benefit, focuses on immigrant labour supply, and evaluates the effect of a recently introduced in-work benefit, the so called job deduction, on the labour supply of single immigrant women. In this study, we address the following questions: What is the effect of the in-work benefit on the labour supply of single immigrant women? Does the effect of the in-work benefit on working hours differ between immigrant groups? The results show that, on average, there is no major effect of the in-work benefit on the labour supply of single immigrant women. However, households with the lowest incomes increase their working hours quite strongly. Furthermore, on average, there appears to be no difference in the effect of the in-work benefit between immigrant groups. In the low-income households, though, immigrants from non-European countries and from Southern and Eastern European countries, increase their labour supply relatively more than immigrants from Nordic countries and Western Europe. Finally, the relatively large increase in working hours for single immigrant women with the lowest incomes appears, above all, to be a result of increased participation in the labour market. However, part of the effect is related to an increase in the number of working hours of already employed women.

A pertença estendida de adultos na família de origem é um fenômeno multideterminado, que envolve fatores econômicos, culturais, familiares e psíquicos, gerando insatisfação e sofrimento em adultos que estão nessa situação. O objetivo desta dissertação é a compreensão de motivos, intenções e sentidos que determinam essa pertença estendida. Para isso, utilizamos o referencial teórico psicanalítico, tanto para nos ajudar no método que fundamenta esta pesquisa quanto na discussão das informações obtidas no estudo de campo. Entender como percebem, vivem e quais sentidos esses adultos atribuem para a convivência familiar, além de identificar suas perspectivas para o futuro, como percebem a si mesmos e a sua família, foram os interesses que construíram este objeto de estudo. Pesquisamos esse fenômeno através de sete entrevistas semiestruturadas com adultos da classe média da cidade de São Paulo, entre 26 e 37 anos, cinco do sexo feminino e dois do sexo masculino, que estavam morando com suas famílias de origem em 2010. Da análise das entrevistas, alguns temas emergiram: família: cultura, tradição, história e estrutura; ser adulto; expectativas para o futuro; trabalho e remuneração: vida profissional; e relações fora da família. Constatamos nas dinâmicas familiares de alguns dos entrevistados uma relação do tipo simbiótico com a figura materna, como também uma situação financeira precária para possibilitar a saída da casa da família. A perspectiva de futuro, para alguns, inclui a saída da casa da família mediante novo rumo profissional ou casamento e, para outros, não há sentido em deixar a casa dos pais; há alguns benefícios por estar na casa dos pais, mas há, em todos os entrevistados, desconforto e um sentimento de fracasso, por não corresponderem às expectativas familiares e pessoais / The adults who remain with their original families are a multifactorial phenomenon, involving economic, cultural, familial and psychological factors, which generates discontentment and suffering for those who find themselves in this situation. The objective of this dissertation is the understanding of the motives, intentions and rationales that determine the prolonged stay of adults within their original families. In order to accomplish this, we used psychoanalytical theory both to aid our research design and to inform our analysis of the data collected through our fieldwork. Our interests in understanding how such adults perceive, attribute meaning to and live their everyday lives alongside their original families, and in identifying their perspectives on the future, themselves and their families have built the objectives of this study. We studied this phenomenon via semi-structured interviews with seven middle class adults from the city of São Paulo, aged between 26 and 37 years old, five women and two men, who lived with their original families in 2010. Some themes have emerged from the analysis of the interviews: family: culture, tradition, history and structure; being an adult; expectations about the future; work and salary: professional life; and relationships outside of the family. We ascertained in the family dynamic of some of our interviewees a symbiotic relationship with the mother figure, and also a precarious financial situation that hindered leaving the family home. The perspective of the future, to some, include leaving the family home in the case of a new professional/career path or marriage and, to others, it makes no sense to leave the parental home; there are some benefits in staying in the parental home, but in all interviewees there are a discomfort and a sense of failure, for not meeting familial and personal expectations

A situação do abandono e as condições estruturais das organizações de abrigamento no Brasil são questões que têm suscitado atenção crescente, gerando intensos debates na contemporaneidade. O presente estudo focaliza o modelo de abrigamento organizado a partir de famílias sociais que acolhem crianças em situação de risco psicossocial, até que seja possível sua reintegração à família consanguínea ou adoção por família substituta. A proposta de abrigamento temporário não se cumpre na prática, uma vez que, para a maioria das crianças e adolescentes, essa medida se torna definitiva, até que completem sua maioridade legal, o que torna as famílias sociais substitutas suas únicas referências familiares, depois do rompimento dos vínculos afetivos com a família biológica. Este estudo teve por objetivo investigar os conteúdos da transmissão psíquica intersubjetiva presentes na díade mãe socialadolescente, no espaço familiar de abrigamento. Participaram do estudo mães sociais e seus filhos adolescentes, oriundos de uma organização não governamental, totalizando 24 participantes. Foi utilizada como proposta metodológica a análise do discurso realizada a partir das histórias de vidas relatadas pelos participantes da pesquisa. As entrevistas foram realizadas individualmente e foram audiogravadas. Para alcançar o objetivo, três eixos da teoria psicanalítica serviram como referência: a construção psicanalítica sobre a família, a compreensão do contexto institucional e a transmissão psíquica intersubjetiva. Os relatos possibilitaram a identificação das marcas emocionais do abandono, da construção da parentalidade, da compreensão dos conteúdos compartilhados pela instituição de abrigamento, das similaridades e diferenças entre mães sociais e adolescentes no que se refere aos mecanismos de defesa, interdições e vinculações estabelecidas. Os resultados indicaram que os vínculos construídos nas famílias sociais são marcados pela parcialidade, pelo pacto denegativo, pela violência e por interdições utilizadas para perpetuar a sua ordem interna e também a ordem institucional. Foi possível concluir que as relações familiares investigadas são marcadas por lacunas criadas, inicialmente, pela situação de abandono, perpetuação de padrões relacionais agressivos na família social constituída posteriormente e por mecanismos de defesa que, muitas vezes, dificultam ou impedem novas vinculações e o aprofundamento das relações sociais e consanguíneas. / The situation of abandonment and the structural conditions of housing organizations in Brazil are issues that have attracted increasing attention, generating heated debates in contemporary times. The present study focuses on the housing model organized by social families, which house children at psychosocial risk until their reintegration into their consanguineous family or are adopted by a foster family. The proposal of temporary housing is not fulfilled in practice, as, for most children and adolescents, this measure becomes permanent until they complete their legal majority, which makes social families their only reference of family after breaking affective bonds with their biological family. The aim of this study was to investigate the contents of intersubjective psychic transmission present in the dyad social motheradolescent in the family environment of the housing organization. Subjects were social mothers and their teenage children from a non-governmental organization, totaling 24 participants. Discourse analysis was used as a methodological approach, and it was performed from the life stories reported by the participants. The interviews were conducted individually and were audio recorded. To reach the goal three axes of psychoanalytic theory were used as framework: the psychoanalytic construction of the family, understanding the institutional context and intersubjective psychic transmission. The reports permitted to identify the emotional scars of abandonment, the construction of parenting, understanding of the content shared in the housing institution, the similarities and differences between social mothers and adolescents with regard to the mechanisms of defense, interdiction and established attachments. The results indicated that attachments built in social families are marked by bias, by a denial pact, violence and interdictions used to perpetuate their internal order and also the institutional order. It was concluded that the investigated family relationships are marked by gaps initially created by the situation of abandonment, the perpetuation of patterns of aggressive relationships in the social family that is later comprised and defense mechanisms, which often hinder or prevent new attachments and the deepening of social and consanguineous relationships.

INTRODUÇÃO: o ambiente familiar tem sido amplamente relacionado ao uso de álcool na literatura. No entanto, poucos estudos abordam esta questão especificamente para famílias de mulheres alcoolistas. Neste trabalho procurou-se comparar aspectos do funcionamento familiar ao longo de três gerações: geração atual (companheiros e filhos), geração dos pais e irmãos e geração dos avós paternos e maternos de mulheres dependentes e não dependentes de álcool, a partir de seus próprios relatos. MÉTODOS: foram estudadas 30 mulheres alcoolistas que frequentavam o Programa de Atenção à Mulher Dependente Química (PROMUD) do Instituto de Psiquiatria do Hospital das Clínicas da Faculdade de Medicina da Universidade de São Paulo e 32 mulheres não alcoolistas que frequentavam o ambulatório de ginecologia geral do Departamento de Tocoginecologia do Hospital das Clínicas de Curitiba. Como instrumentos foram utilizados a construção do genograma familiar e a Family Environment Scale (FES). RESULTADOS: com relação aos dados sociodemográficos, as alcoolistas eram mais velhas, possuíam maior grau de escolaridade, um número menor de mulheres tinha companheiros e elas tinham menos filhos em comparação às mulheres do grupo controle. Observaram-se várias diferenças com relação à estrutura familiar sempre demonstrando que as famílias das alcoolistas são mais disfuncionais. Com relação às alianças, as alcoolistas possuíam alianças disfuncionais em vários pares de familiares: conflito com a mãe, companheiro e avô paterno, superenvolvimento com o pai e foi verificada a presença de conflito conjugal em todas as gerações. As famílias das alcoolistas se configuraram como superenvolvidas, com presença de triangulação, abuso físico, psicológico e/ou sexual e divórcio. O uso abusivo de álcool foi encontrado também nas mães e companheiros destas mulheres. As mães possuíam ainda o poder de decisão nestas famílias. Ao relacionar o momento de início do uso abusivo com as fases do ciclo de vida familiar, percebeu-se que as mulheres iniciaram o abuso de álcool com seus companheiros e quando os filhos eram pequenos ou adolescentes. Os resultados da FES mostraram diferença nas subescalas coesão, expressividade, conflito, organização e religião entre os grupos, sempre mostrando maior disfunção nas famílias das alcoolistas. CONCLUSÕES: estes achados reforçam a hipótese de que as famílias das mulheres alcoolistas são mais disfuncionais em vários aspectos e que muitos destes padrões disfuncionais são transmitidos ao longo das gerações. / INTRODUCTION: the literature has extensively reported the association between family environment and alcohol use. However, few studies have investigated this issue specifically in families of alcohol dependent women. The present study sought to compare aspects of family functioning over three generations: current generation (partners and children), generation of parents and siblings, and generation of paternal and maternal grandparents of alcohol dependent and non-dependent women based on their own accounts. METHODS: there were studied 30 alcohol dependent women who attended the Drug Dependent Women Treatment Center (PROMUD) at Clínicas Hospital Institute of Psychiatry of Universidade de São Paulo Medical School and 32 non-dependent women attending a general gynecology outpatient clinic of the Department of Obstetric and Gynecology at Clínicas Hospital in Curitiba. The study instruments included a family genogram especially constructed for this study and the Family Environment Scale (FES). RESULTS: alcohol dependent women were older and more educated, a smaller number of them had partners, and they had fewer children than controls. Several differences were found in family structure consistently indicating that the families of alcohol dependent women are more dysfunctional. These women established dysfunctional attachments with different family pairs: conflicts with their mothers, partners, and paternal grandfathers; overinvolvement of father and daughter; and conjugal conflicts in all generations. Families of alcohol dependent women are characteristically overinvolved showing triangulation, physical, psychological and/or sexual abuse, and divorce. Alcohol abuse was also found in these womens mothers and partners. Their mothers also held the power of decision in these families. When alcohol abuse was related to the phases of the family life cycle, it was found that these women started abusing alcohol with their partners when their children were little or adolescents. FES results showed differences between both groups studied in the subscales Cohesion, Expressiveness, Conflict, Organization, and Religion indicating that the families of these women were more dysfunctional. CONCLUSIONS: the study findings reinforce the hypothesis that the families of alcohol dependent women are generally more dysfunctional and that many of these dysfunctional behaviors are transmitted through generations.

We try to understand the meaning of an exchange of letters occurred between children and elderly people, in the city of Caraguatatuba, on the northern coast of São Paulo, and its effects on their subjectivities. The study analyzed the participation of eight pairs, each one consisted of a student from the 4th or 5th year of a Primary School and aged between 9 and 11 years, and an elderly, over 60 years of age, from a Reference Center for the Elderly, in 2011 and 2012. Its specific objectives were: to identify whether the words written and exchanged between children and the elderly promote moments of gratification and joy, as well as opportunities to see themselves in the world; to provide and to analyze moments of social interaction between participants, thereby contributing to the construction of a memory about this experience and stage of their lives; to promote the opportunity for inter-relationship, providing both for the child and for the elderly a sense of social inclusion; to create in the participants alternatives of self-expression, validating their experiences of social sharing. A qualitative research was made with letters and questionnaires used as instruments and considered from the perspective of content analysis focused on meanings, and this strategy was methodologically complemented by participant observation. The experience of an exchange of letters produced positive psychological effects for its participants, both immediate and remote, by contributing to the expansion of the view about the world and themselves. For the elderly, expanding the memory of significant experiences, associated with written records and the possibility of using them in moments of weakness, produced psychological benefits that were observed by the research. The experience of living positive emotions brought comfort to the aging process because it attenuated to the old people the perception of social exclusion and loneliness, by reviving the feeling of usefulness and social inclusion, by providing a real life experience and by meeting the needs of this phase of life. The possibility of self-expression also favored the maturation and psychosocial development of children, as the correspondence produced an interlocutor that listen carefully and seek to understand the demands that are specific to childhood / Esta tese analisou os benefícios da troca de cartas entre gerações muito distintas, investigando o quanto o ato de escrever sobre acontecimentos da vida cotidiana pode estar associado a uma melhor autopercepção dos participantes do processo. Procurou-se compreender o significado de uma troca de correspondências ocorrida entre crianças e idosos, residentes na cidade de Caraguatatuba, no litoral norte de São Paulo, e os seus efeitos sobre suas subjetividades. O trabalho analisou a participação de oito duplas, cada uma composta por um aluno do 4º ou 5º ano de uma Escola de Ensino Fundamental e com idade entre 9 e 11 anos, e por um idoso, acima dos 60 anos, de um Centro de Referência para Idosos, nos anos de 2011 e 2012. Seus objetivos específicos foram: identificar se as palavras escritas e trocadas entre crianças e idosos promovem momentos de gratificação e alegria, bem como oportunidades de se perceberem no mundo; propiciar e analisar os momentos de interação social existentes entre os interlocutores, contribuindo assim para a construção de uma memória sobre esta experiência e fase de suas vidas; promover a oportunidade de inter-relação, propiciando tanto para a criança quanto para o idoso a sensação de inserção social; criar nos interlocutores alternativas de autoexpressão, validando suas experiências pela partilha social. Foi feita uma pesquisa qualitativa, com cartas e questionários utilizados como instrumentos e considerados sob a perspectiva da análise de conteúdo focada em significados, estratégia esta que foi complementada metodologicamente pela observação participante. A experiência de troca de cartas produziu efeitos psicológicos positivos para seus participantes, tanto imediatos quanto remotos, ao contribuir para a ampliação da visão acerca do mundo e de si mesmos. Para os idosos, a ampliação da memória de experiências significativas, associada ao seu registro escrito e à possibilidade de recorrer a ele em momentos de fragilidade, produziu benefícios psicológicos que foram observados pela investigação. A experiência de viver emoções positivas trouxe conforto para o processo de envelhecimento na medida em que atenuou para o idoso a percepção de exclusão social e de solidão, ao lhe reavivar a sensação de utilidade e inserção social, ao oferecer uma experiência de vida real e ao atender às necessidades desta fase da vida. A possibilidade de autoexpressão favoreceu também o amadurecimento e o desenvolvimento psicossocial de crianças, pois a troca de correspondências produziu um interlocutor que as ouvisse com atenção e que procurasse compreender as demandas que são específicas da infância

The theory of cultural complex enables analyses of the intergenerational historical trauma impact on the production of complexes that develop unconsciously on those populations and undermine their resources. This research was based on a mixed method. The analysis of the cultural production of 42 Quilombolas, (men and women from the Quilombola community of Mel da Pedreira, Macapá, in the state ôf Amapá in northern Brazil) was conducted via qualitative and quantitative methods as a result of participant observation, ethnologic and ethnographic observations, semi-guided interviews, content analyses, Adriano Vaz Serra Self-concept Assessment, Rosenberg Self-esteem Scale, and simple statistical, analyses. From these theories, methods and field observations were confirmed the hypotheses below: I. The trauma intergenerational history resulting from the memories of slavery remains present in the narratives and a cultural production of Afro- brazilians. II. The historic trauma intergeracional generates a cultural complex of inferiority in the population maroon. IV. T here was a low self esteem in the population as quilombola symptom of cultural complex. V. The cultural complex negatively affects the way of life of quilombola communities and contributes to the impoverishment of the population. VI. What defines the life in the quilombo is the concept of resistance/resilience. The hypothesis III. T here was a low self-concept in population as quilombola symptom of cultural complex; it is not confirmed. Finally, using the model adapted by Martha Kent and Mary C. Davis, P9Sitive Factors and Resilience Promoters, the Quilombolas scored very well in Six of eight items evaluated. That shows the capacity of Quilombolas to adapt, resist and endure facing extreme adversity imposed by intergenerational trauma, by the cultural complex that generates poverty and by social exclusion / O conceito de trauma histórico intergeracional é um constructo válido para se compreender o impacto de genocídios, guerras, atos terroristas elou calamidades públicas sobre determinadas populações, como ocorreu, por exemplo, com os descendentes dos sobreviventes de campos de concentração do holocausto e com os descendentes de escravos. A teoria do complexo cultural possibilita, por sua vez, analisar o impacto do trauma histórico intergeracional na produção de complexos que se desenvolvem inconscientemente, nessas populações, e minam os seus recursos. Esta pesquisa assentou-se sobre o método misto, em sua execução. A análise da produção cultural de 42 sujeitos quilombolas, homens e mulheres, do Quilombo do Mel da Pedreira, em Macapá — Amapá, realizou-se por métodos quantitativos e qualitativos: a observação participante; a observação etnológica e etnográfica; a entrevista semidirigida; a análise de conteúdo; o Inventário de Autoconceito de Adriano Vaz Serra; a Escala de Autoestima de Rosenberg; e a análise estatística simples. A partir dessas teorias, métodos e observações de campo foram confirmadas as hipóteses a seguir: I. O trauma histórico intergeracional decorrente das memórias da escravidão permanece presente nas narrativas e na produção cultural de quilombolas. II. O trauma histórico intergeracional gera um complexo cultural de inferioridade na população quilombola. IV. Observa-se uma baixa autoestima na população quilombola como sintoma do complexo cultural. V. O complexo cultural afeta negativamente o modo de vida de quilombolas e contribui para o empobrecimento da população. VI. O que define a vida no quilombo é o conceito de resistência/resiliência. A Hipótese III, observa-se um baixo autoconceito na população quilombola como sintoma do complexo cultural; não se confirmou. Finalmente, quando se utilizou o modelo adaptado de Fatores Positivos e Preditores de Resiliência de Martha Kent e Mary C. Davis, os quilombolas saíram-se muito bem em seis dos oito itens avaliados. Isso demonstra a capacidade quilombola de adaptação, resistência e resiliência frente à extrema adversidade imposta pelo trauma intergeracional e pelo complexo cultural, geradores de empobrecimento e da exclusão social

My PhD work aimed to assess intergenerational transmission and life-course change of attitudes towards authority. Intergenerational transmission is hypothesised as the mechanism through which parents' authoritarian attitudes affect their children's attitudes towards authority in adulthood. In the assessment of this transmission mechanism, this analysis accounts for individual-level theoretically relevant factors such as gender, education, social class, offspring's cognitive ability in childhood, as well as family background, in a longitudinal, single-cohort perspective. The research used the British Cohort Study 1970 (BCS70), which allows for the analysis of change at both the intra- and inter-individual levels. The sweeps analysed are those in years 1975 for the parents, and 1980, 1996, 2000 and 2012 for the cohort members. The analytical chapters of the thesis are made of three papers: The first assessed change (or stability) in attitudes to authority in the BCS70 from 1996 to 2012; the second looked at how parental authoritarian worldviews affect their children's attitudes towards authority when the children are adults; finally, the third paper aimed to evaluate the effect of parental attitudes on cohort members' attitudes towards authority in adulthood, after controlling for the latter's cognitive ability in childhood. I found that attitudes had a reasonably high level of stability across the life course. Despite moderately strong correlations across attitudes within waves, the different attitudes showed different patterns of longitudinal evolution, suggesting different causal influences. The evidence for direct transmission of attitudes from parents to children was surprisingly weak; the social statuses of the parents and cohort members, and especially the members' childhood cognitive ability, were the strongest predictors of authoritarian attitudes in adulthood.

Modern states are committed to the implicit assumption that one generation has the normative power to bind later generations through laws and contracts. My dissertation explores this assumption through two case studies: constitutions and sovereign debt contracts. I show that in both cases the assumption of transgenerational binding shapes the legal practices and doctrines of modern states. It informs, for instance, the ratification of eternity clauses, the interpretation of constitutions, and the doctrines of sovereign immunity and odious debt. But although these practices of transgenerational binding are prevalent in modern states, they stand in tension, I argue, with the liberal moral commitments of these states. Liberals are committed to moral individualism, according to which only individual human beings (and some nonhuman animals) are moral persons. Moral individualism, I show, is incompatible with the assumption of transgenerational binding and its accompanying practices and doctrines. By contrast, moral statism, according to which states themselves are moral persons, can easily justify those transgenerational practice. But moral statist justifications are illiberal because they assign states intrinsic moral status above and beyond individual human beings. I argue that liberals must engage in revisionism whichever theory of political obligation they pick - whether it is a theory of agreement, restitution, justice, reciprocity, or instrumentalism. If liberals assume moral individualism and combine it with any of these theories, they will be forced either to declare some transgenerational practices and doctrines illegitimate or to revise the justification and scope of transgenerational binding in light of instrumentalism. If liberals choose moral statism, they will be able to justify the transgenerational doctrines and practices of constitutions and sovereign debt contracts - but only at the cost of illiberalism. The dissertation's analysis thus shows that liberals face a trilemma between illegitimacy, instrumentalism, and illiberalism.

Como constroem esses julgamentos? Esta pesquisa documentou as percepções de um grupo de jovens oriundos de grupos populares e estudou o processo de socialização a que estavam submetidos para tentar responder a essas perguntas. Para tanto, foram realizadas duas rodadas de entrevistas com nove jovens e seus pais quando esses tinham idade entre doze e quatorze anos. Os resultados mostram que os julgamentos são construídos em relação com a história da família, especialmente com a história de trabalho dos adultos mais próximos, e com as percepções dominantes no círculo de amizades formado principalmente no próprio bairro onde moram. A pesquisa mostrou também que essas percepções estão fortemente relacionadas com os investimentos realizados na escola e com a decisão de adiantar ou atrasar a entrada no mercado de trabalho / Abstract: What do young judge good or bad, desirable or undesirable jobs? How do the build their judgment concept? In order to answer these questions, this research documented the perceptions of a group of teenagers originated from low social classes and studied the socialization process which they were submitted. Two rounds of interviews were done with young and their parents when the teenagers were twelve and fourteen. The results shows that the judgments of the young are build based on family history, especially on labor history of closest adults, and on dominant perceptions inside the friendship circle formed by other teenagers in their neighborhood. This research shows also that these perceptions are closely related with school investments and with decision of postpone or advance the entry in the job marked / Mestrado / Educação, Conhecimento, Linguagem e Arte / Mestre em Educação

Esta tese reafirma a importância das trocas de experiências intergeracionais na qualificação de processos de construção de conhecimento e cultura, na contemporaneidade, a partir do desenvolvimento de um dispositivo educacional e cultural - a Oficina intergeracional - em uma instituição que atende crianças e jovens, na comunidade de Paraisópolis, situada na região sul da cidade de São Paulo. A pesquisa foi realizada com base nos pressupostos da metodologia colaborativa, onde os sujeitos são compreendidos e tratados como criadores de conhecimento e cultura que atuam em associação com o pesquisador, construindo ações em conjunto em torno do objeto comum das trocas intergeracionais. Ao promoverem a interrupção nos fluxos cotidianos habituais dos membros de diferentes faixas etárias da comunidade de Paraisópolis e do PECP (Programa Einstein na Comunidade de Paraisópolis), as oficinas intergeracionais promoveram e permitiram a emergência e a recriação de uma corrente de saberes e fazeres que constituem, dão apoio, conferem, constroem e reconstroem identidades, signos e práticas relacionais e culturais. O encontro da saberes e fazeres intergeracionais, somados à articulação de saberes e fazeres científicos, profissionais e da experiência pode constituir-se em caminho para a instauração de novas e promissoras relações entre informação e significação, preservando e valorizando processos de apropriação e criação de conhecimento e cultura na \"era da informação\" / This thesis reaffirms the importance of intergenerational exchange of experiences in the qualification of construction processes of knowledge and culture, in contemporaneity, based on the development of an educational and cultural mechanism - the Intergenerational Workshop - in an institution that assists children and youths in the community of Paraisópolis, located in the southern region of São Paulo. The research was based upon the assumptions of the collaborative methodology, where the subjects are understood and treated as creators of knowledge and culture that act in association with the researcher, building actions together around the common object of the intergenerational exchanges. By promoting the interruption in the usual daily flows of members of different age groups of the Paraisópolis community and of the PECP (Einstein Program in the Paraisópolis Community), Intergenerational Workshops promoted and allowed the emergence and the recreation of a stream of knowledge and practices that constitute, give support, confer, reconstruct identities, signs and relational and cultural practices. In other words, the meeting of the intergenerational knowledge and practices, added to the articulation of scientific, professional and experienced knowledge and doings, can be the way for the introduction of new and promising relationships between information and signification, preserving and valuing creative processes of knowledge and culture in the \"information age\".
