Trata-se da busca de identificar as premissas políticas e éticas do movimento cooperativista internacional e analisar suas peculiaridades no desenvolvimento de uma educação e pedagogia de natureza cooperativista na tradição educacional paulista e brasileira. Analisa a organização da escola e os pressupostos filosóficos e políticos dessa trajetória, ao relacionar as transformações do trabalho e a questão da educação. O cooperativismo educacional ocupou um lugar de destaque nos anos de 1980 e 1990, com um discurso aparentemente renovador de uma escola que se anunciava como inovadora, pois tanto pretendia formar o indivíduo integralmente, afirmando superar a ética da competição pela ética da cooperação, pleiteando organizar-se pedagogicamente com a participação plena dos professores como colegiado, de modo a superar a tradição administrativa hierárquica da escola pública e privada e, apresentar, inclusive, disposições políticas emancipatórias para todos os envolvidos no processo de ensino aprendizagem. Produzida como uma pesquisa bibliográfica de natureza qualitativa a pesquisa também recolheu dados institucionais das entidades e escolas cooperativistas paulistas que se pautam pela busca de uma Pedagogia da Cooperação referenciada nesta pesquisa em Paulo freire e Celestin Freinet. Analisa ainda os pressupostos psicológicos e educacionais de uma ontologia social da subjetividade e disposição para a ação cooperada na sociedade e cultura. Apresenta as contradições da educação e da escola cooperativista em vista das próprias contradições da cooperação como princípio de gestão econômica e social. Aponta possibilidades de formação de educadores para a cooperação e possíveis contribuições da adoção de uma Pedagogia da Cooperação para a emancipação humana. / Abstract: The dissertation analyzes the historical and institutional trajectory of the expansion of the educational cooperativism in the State of São Paulo between the years 1989 and 2011. The research seeks to identify the political and ethical assumptions of the international cooperative movement and analyze their peculiarities in the development of an education and pedagog based in the tradicional cooperative educational paulista and brazilian. Examines the organization of the school and the philosophical and politicians presuppositions of this trajectory relating the transformations in working with the issue of education. The educational cooperativism occupied a place of prominence in the years 1980 and 1990, with a speech apparently renovator of a school that is announced as innovative, because wanted to train the full individual, affirming overcome the ethic of competition by the ethic of cooperation, pleading organize educationally with the full participation of teachers as collegiate, so as to overcome the administrative tradition of hierarchical public and private school, and present, including provisions emancipatory politics for all involved in the teaching-learning process. Produced as a composing of qualitative research also collected institutional data entities and cooperative schools in São Paulo that are ruled by finding a Pedagogy of Cooperation referenced in this research Paulo Freire and Celestin Freinet. Also examines the psychological and educational assumptions of a social ontology of subjectivity and provision for the cooperative action in society and culture.

The Cooperative Movement and its Influence in Denton County

Cox, Eli 08 1900 (has links)
Cooperation is a subject which has intrigued the writer for some time. A study of the philosophy, history and accomplishments of the cooperative movement was begun, due to the interest of the study. In Denton County, Texas, the cooperatives have, for the past few years, been making such rapid progress that a study of the inception, growth and success of these societies seemed indicated. In spite of the broad field of study this subjected presented, it seemed necessary to review the cooperative movement before the local cooperatives could be properly interpreted. This was Done. Numerous books and magazine articles pertaining to cooperation were read. In making this library study, the writer tried to delve into the underlying philosophy of the cooperative movement. Those countries in which cooperation has made greatest strides were given particular attention in order to try to find the secret of their success. After this library approach was completed, the various cooperative societies of Denton County were visited. The writer talked with the leaders of the societies, obtained copies of the by-laws of each organization, examined financial statements, and attempted to analyze the purposes, the accomplishments, and the possibilities of the future success of these organizations.

Com o aumento do consumo e a limitação de recursos da Natureza, a reciclagem tem-se tornado uma necessidade, que é melhor viabilizada pela implantação da coleta seletiva. Para implantar a coleta seletiva é preciso que se desenvolva na sociedade uma cultura de reciclagem, para gerar resíduos sólidos recicláveis que permitam sua reinserção no ciclo produtivo, como matéria-prima. Na cidade de Presidente Prudente, Estado de São Paulo, Brasil, foi adotada uma estratégia de articulação social, que mobilizou diferentes instituições, a fim de construir a sustentabilidade ambiental no município, por meio da educação ambiental, junto à população, e implantação da coleta seletiva, a partir da inserção de catadores de resíduos do lixão em uma cooperativa de trabalhadores de produtos recicláveis. A pesquisa teve como objetivos: identificar o modelo de relação que foi estabelecido entre o grupo surgido da sociedade e a cooperativa, de forma a contemplar as diferentes necessidades sociais e que, ao mesmo tempo, legitimasse a implantação da coleta seletiva e da educação ambiental da população; discussão das dimensões sociais do trabalho nas cidades e dos desafios da sua precarização; discussão da dimensão entre trabalho e meio ambiente e da evolução social dos resíduos na demanda para a construção da sustentabilidade ambiental em Presidente Prudente; apresentação da institucionalização do Grupo de Apoiadores e dos desafios para a autogestão na Cooperlix; o processo de formação e a consolidação do Grupo de Apoiadores; e registro das trajetórias do Grupo de Apoiadores e da Cooperlix, ao longo de 15 anos, da criação de ambos, até a celebração do contrato entre a cooperativa e o poder público municipal. A hipótese adotada é que foi preciso engendrar-se um modelo de relacionamento que possibilitasse ao Grupo de Apoiadores dar suporte ao dia a dia da Cooperlix, a fim de evitar a sua paralisia ou o seu colapso, enquanto ela não conseguisse sustentar-se. Quanto aos resultados, foi identificado que o modelo de relação desenvolvido, a partir do modelo de gestão do Grupo de Apoiadores e da cooperativa, foi inclusivo e democrático junto às diferentes instituições existentes na sociedade, fundamentado no Cooperativismo, na Autogestão e na Economia Solidária, além de engendrar uma organização do trabalho que acolhia toda e qualquer instituição pública ou privada que desejasse participar, bem como contribuir para que a cooperativa oferecesse um território que abrigasse os catadores do lixão, o descarte seletivo de resíduos sólidos e a prática de educação ambiental pela reciclagem. O modelo identificado deriva da relação recíproca de interdependência entre Grupo de Apoiadores e Cooperlix. A representação é inovadora, porque mostra como pessoas comuns podem, coletivamente, tornar-se protagonistas de transformações sociais em larga escala. / The challenge to give a suitable destination to municipal solid waste (MSW) requires the mobilization of the whole society, as humans generate an increasing amount of waste. With the increase in consumption and the limited nature of resources, recycling has become a necessity, which is possible making the implementation of selective collection. To deploy the selective collection it is necessary to develop in society a culture of recycling to generate recyclable solid waste to enable their reintegration into the production cycle as raw material. In the city of Presidente Prudente, State of Sao Paulo, Brazil, a social joint strategy was adopted, which mobilized different institutions in order to build environmental sustainability in the city, through environmental education among the population, and implementation of selective collection, from entering landfill waste pickers in a recyclables workers cooperative. The research aimed to: identify the relationship model that has been established between the emerged group of society and the cooperative in order to contemplate the different social needs and at the same time, legitimated the implementation of selective collection and population environmental education; discussion of the social dimensions of work in the cities and the challenges of its precariousness; discussion of the dimension between labor and the environment and social development of waste in demand for the construction of environmental sustainability in Presidente Prudente; presentation of the institutionalization of the supporters group and the challenges to ownership in Cooperlix; the process of formation and consolidation of the supporters group; and record of the supporters group and Cooperlix trajectories over 15 years of the both creation, until of the contract conclusion between the cooperative and the municipal government. The adopted hypothesis is that was necessary to engender a relationship model that would allow the supporters group to support the Cooperlix day-to-day in order to avoid its paralysis or collapse, as it could not sustain itself. For the results, it was identified that the developed relationship model, of the supporters group and the cooperative management model, was inclusive and democratic along the different society institutions, based on Cooperative Model, Self-Management, and Solidarity Economy, besides engendering an organization of work that welcomed any public or private institution who wished to participate and contribute to the cooperative should offer a territory that housed the landfill scavengers, solid waste selective disposal, and the environmental education by recycling practice. The model identified derives from the mutual interdependence between group of supporters and Cooperlix. Representation is innovative because it shows how ordinary people can collectively become protagonists of social change on a large scale.

O cooperativismo uruguaio na habitação social de São Paulo. Das cooperativas FUCVAM à Associação de Moradia Unidos de Vila Nova Cachoeirinha / The uruguayan cooperativism in São Paulo social housing policy

Baravelli, José Eduardo 09 January 2007 (has links)
Esta dissertação trata da inserção em São Paulo do cooperativismo de habitação uruguaio na sua vertente por ajuda mútua representada pela Fucvam - Federación Uruguaya de Cooperativas de Vivienda por Ayuda Mutua. Como estudo de caso, recupera as experiências de moradia social originadas por este modelo em Vila Nova Cachoeirinha - gleba municipal que concentrou os primeiros mutirões autogeridos da cidade - e compara sua evolução com as diferentes fases de implantação das cooperativas de habitação por ajuda mútua em Montevidéu. Como contexto histórico, estuda a formação dos temas econômicos e políticos do movimento cooperativista e analisa sua adequação aos marcos institucionais das políticas de habitação do Uruguai e de São Paulo. / This dissertation deals with the application in São Paulo of a model of a mutually beneficial housing cooperative developed in Uruguay by Fucvam - the Federación Uruguaya de Cooperativas de Vivienda por Ayuda Mutua. It is a case study of the experience of social living through the application of this model at Vila Nova Cachoeirinha - an area that was home to the first autonomous self-help housing projects in the city - and compares its development with different phases of mutually beneficial housing co-operatives in Montevideo. It places in their historical context the development of economic and political themes in the co-operative movement and analyses their adaptation to the institutional and political environment affecting housing policy in Uruguay and São Paulo.

Mouvement coopératif paysan et SYAL au Nicaragua : leviers d'écodéveloppement ? / Nicaraguan peasant cooperative movement and LAFS : a lever for ecodevelopment ?

Metereau, Renaud 21 October 2016 (has links)
L’organisation du système agroalimentaire du Nicaragua est fortement influencée par le Mouvement Coopératif Paysans (MCP) hérité de la révolution sandiniste. Dans un contexte de réaffirmation du rôle des agricultures familiales et paysannes dans les trajectoires de développement, cette thèse en économie politique propose une réflexion prospective sur des leviers potentiels d’accompagnement de stratégies d’écodéveloppement. Fruit d’une recherche qualitative de terrain, l’analyse des entretiens menés auprès de paysans et paysannes dans trois zones rurales du Nicaragua permet de dresser un panorama motivationnel de l’organisation en coopérative. Cette recherche aboutit en premier lieu à l’identification et à la qualification de dynamiques de type « SYAL-Coopérative » (Système Agroalimentaire Localisé de base Coopérative). Rapprochant agroécologie et écologie industrielle radicale, elle permet en second lieu de questionner le rôle de l’idéal-type de l’écosystème dans la structuration des systèmes agroalimentaires ainsi que dans la définition des trajectoires d’écodéveloppement. / The Nicaraguan agrifood system organization is strongly influenced by the Peasant Cooperative Movement (MCP) inherited from the Sandinist Revolution. In a context in which the role of family farming and peasant agriculture in development trajectories tend to be reaffirmed, this thesis in political economics offers a prospective reflexion on potential levers to support Ecodevelopment strategies. As the fruit of a qualitative field research, the analysis of the interviews carried out with peasants in three rural areas of Nicaragua enables us to draw a motivational panorama of cooperative organization. This research results firstly in the identification and qualification of Cooperative-LAFS (Cooperative based Localized Agri-Food Systems) dynamics. Secondly, it enables, while bringing together agroecology and radical industrial ecology, to question the part of the ideal-type ecosystem in structuring agrifood systems, as well as in defining and accompanying Ecodevelopment trajectories.

Towards a neoliberal citizenship regime: A post-Marxist discourse analysis

Hackell, Melissa January 2007 (has links)
This thesis is empirically grounded in New Zealand's restructuring of unemployment and taxation policy in the 1980s and 1990s. Theoretically it is inspired by a post-Marxist discourse analytical approach that focuses on discourses as political strategies. This approach has made it possible, through an analysis of changing citizenship discourses, to understand how the neoliberalisation of New Zealand's citizenship regime proceeded via debate and struggle over unemployment and taxation policy. Debates over unemployment and taxation in New Zealand during the 1980s and 1990s reconfigured the targets of policy and re-ordered social antagonism, establishing a neoliberal citizenship regime and centring political problematic. This construction of a neoliberal citizenship regime involved re-specifying the targets of public policy as consumers and taxpayers. In exploring the hegemonic discourse strategies of the Fourth Labour Government and the subsequent National-led governments of the 1990s, this thesis traces the process of reconfiguring citizen subjectivity initially as 'social consumers' and participants in a coalition of minorities, and subsequently as universal taxpayers in antagonistic relation to unemployed beneficiaries. These changes are related back to key discursive events in New Zealand's recent social policy history as well as to shifts in the discourses of politicians that address the nature of the public interest and the targets of social policy. I argue that this neoliberalisation of New Zealand's citizenship regime was the outcome of the hegemonic articulatory discourse strategies of governing parties in the 1980s and 1990s. Struggles between government administrations and citizen-based social movement groups were articulated to the neoliberal project. I also argue that in the late 1990s, discursive struggle between the dominant parties to define themselves in difference from each other reveals both the 'de'contestation of a set of neoliberal policy prescriptions, underscoring the neoliberal political problematic, and the privileging of a contributing taxpayer identity as the source of political legitimacy. This study shows that the dynamics of discursive struggle matter and demonstrates how the outcomes of discursive struggle direct policy change. In particular, it establishes how neoliberal discourse strategies evolved from political discourses in competition with other discourses to become the hegemonic political problematic underscoring institutional practice and policy development.

Reconnaissance identitaire et mouvement coopératif dans l’expérience des Inuit du Nunavik

Merrien, Anne-Marie 12 1900 (has links)
Les coopératives évoluent dans une multitude de régions et de cultures. Plus qu’un élément secondaire, l’aspect culturel et identitaire du développement coopératif est au cœur de ses enjeux de développement et de sa définition-même. En effet, historiquement, l’implantation et le développement des coopératives ont été associés à des réalités identitaires importantes, comme l’illustrent les expériences coopératives acadiennes, basques, québécoises et inuites. Cette thèse étudie l’expérience des 14 coopératives du Nunavik et de leur fédération. Coopératives de consommateurs multiservices, dont les membres sont presque tous Inuit, elles sont l’initiative d’acteurs variés (État, religieux, gérant de magasins). Les premières coopératives ont été mises sur pied à partir de la fin des années 1950 et ont rapidement été gérées par les Inuit eux-mêmes. Venues briser le monopole qu’avait la Compagnie de la Baie-d’Hudson, l’établissement des coopératives au Nunavik correspond également à un changement fondamental dans l’économie et la politique du territoire et des communautés qui y vivent. Grâce à une soixantaine d’entretiens semi-dirigés et plusieurs séjours sur place, cette étude de cas suggestif permet de comprendre la contribution des coopératives membres de la Fédération des coopératives du Nouveau-Québec (FCNQ) à la reconnaissance identitaire des personnes et des collectivités touchées par leurs activités. En mobilisant la théorie de la reconnaissance et de la liberté sociale d’Axel Honneth (2000, 2014) et l’approche du triple mouvement coopératif (Draperi, 2007), l’analyse de l’expérience des coopératives du Nunavik révèle des attentes et des effets de reconnaissance associés à la reconnaissance affective, juridique et de la contribution à la société. Ces effets agissent sur différents types de capitaux, par le biais de moyens mis en place par les coopératives. Certaines conditions internes spécifiques aux coopératives influencent également la reconnaissance identitaire des Inuit. Cette thèse contribue à une meilleure compréhension des coopératives en matière de reconnaissance identitaire et culturelle. Elle rend compte de l’imbrication des besoins et aspirations des membres et offre des précisions de définitions quant à ces deux termes centraux aux théories coopératives. De l’expérience des coopératives du Nunavik, on peut dégager le constat que la prise en compte profonde et concomitante des trois mouvements coopératifs (mouvement de pensée, mouvement social et mouvement d’entreprise) produit une reconnaissance identitaire des personnes et des collectivités. Les coopératives constituent un moyen et un lieu de reconnaissance affective (par la réponse aux besoins de base et la mise en place d’un lieu de rencontre), de reconnaissance juridique (par le biais des principes démocratiques, de responsabilisation et des valeurs d’égalité et d’équité) et de reconnaissance des particularités et compétences (par la participation de chacun à la réalisation d’une mission commune et leurs activités d’éducation et de formation). Ultimement, elles permettent aux individus et aux collectivités d’exercer leur liberté sociale et d’assurer le respect de leur dignité. / Cooperatives operate in a multitude of regions and cultures. More than a secondary element, the cultural and identity aspect of cooperative development is at the heart of its development issues and its very definition. Indeed, historically, the establishment and development of cooperatives have been associated with important identity realities, as illustrated by the Acadian, Basque, Quebecois and Inuit cooperative experiences. This thesis studies the experience of the 14 Nunavik cooperatives and their federation. Multiservice consumer cooperatives, whose members are almost all Inuit, they are the initiative of various actors (state, religious, store managers). The first cooperatives were established in the late 1950s and were quickly managed by the Inuit themselves. Coming to break the monopoly of the Hudson's Bay Company, the establishment of cooperatives in Nunavik also corresponds to a fundamental change in the economy and politics of the territory and the communities that live there. Through some sixty semi-structured interviews and several on-site visits, this suggestive case study allows us to understand the contribution of the member cooperatives of the Fédération des coopératives du Nouveau-Québec (FCNQ) to the recognition of the persons’ and communities’ identities affected by their activities. By mobilizing Axel Honneth's theory of recognition and social freedom (2000. 2014) and the triple cooperative movement approach (Draperi, 2007), the analysis of the experience of Nunavik cooperatives reveals recognition expectations and effects associated with emotional recognition, legal recognition and the recognition of the contribution to society. These effects act on different types of capital, through means set up by cooperatives. Certain internal conditions specific to cooperatives also influence identity recognition of Inuit. This thesis contributes to a better understanding of cooperatives in terms of identity and cultural recognition. It accounts for the interweaving of the needs and aspirations of members and provides clarification of the definitions of these two central terms of cooperative theories. From the experience of the Nunavik cooperatives, we can see that the profound and concomitant consideration of the three cooperative movements (thought movement, social movement and business movement) produces recognition of the identity of individuals and communities. Cooperatives are a mean and a place of emotional recognition (by responding to basic needs and setting up a meeting place), of legal recognition (by means of democratic principles, mutual responsability and values of equality and equity) and of recognition of particularities and skills (through everyone’s participation in the achievement of a common mission and their education and training activities). Ultimately, they enable individuals and communities to exercise their social freedom and ensure respect of their dignity.

Separatism and cooperation : Democratic participation, asset-building and narrative representations in  The Women’s Cooperative Society Swedish Homes, 1904-1916

Jacobson, Anders January 2021 (has links)
Within the context of economic history, this case study discusses “separatist cooperation” as an organizational and economic strategy for addressing multiple forms of alienation and inequality. Unique in the European cooperative movement at the time, The Women’s Cooperative Society Swedish Homes (Kvinnornas Andelsförening Svenska Hem), active in Stockholm 1905-1916, is a case in point. Using a theoretical framework drawn from social and economic reconstruction as well as critical perspectives inspired by intersectionality, the study analyzes how arguments, practices and choices of Svenska Hem are manifested in terms of three themes/strategies of de-alienation: democratic participation, asset-building and narrative representation. Cutting through each of these themes/strategies, explicit and implicit conceptions of gender, class and group solidarity are critically analyzed. The results show that the separatist strategy in combination with cooperative organizing generated considerable movement energy and capital accumulation e.g. in the face of an organized boycott from competing (male) traders. Further, the women’s cooperative constituted a space for asset-building while negotiating the changing social role of women generally and housewives in particular. The analysis shows that Svenska Hem’s organization and narrative was marked by class bias, while striving to become a cooperative relevant to “women of all classes”, invoking the housewife-as-consumer as a collective with a shared interest.
