Pontas em circuito discute o papel de Gana na Divisão Internacional do Trabalho (DIT) no alvorecer do século XXI. O estudo parte do pressuposto de que o consenso amplamente difundido no Ocidente em analisar os países africanos como grandes exportadores de commodities é genérico e insuficiente para compreender as suas múltiplas formas de inserção na economia mundial contemporânea. Resultado de combinações históricas entre os meios de produção e as forças produtivas do território, a formação socioespacial ganense deve, seguramente, ser analisada dentro da DIT levando em consideração a produção de suas principais commodities (ouro, manganês, bauxita, diamante, petróleo e cacau). Paralelamente, contudo, também é fundamental compreender em profundidade a pauta de importações do país que, centrada na compra de diversos tipos de bens manufaturados, indica algumas carências particulares do modo de produção na escala nacional. Para além disso, na composição dessa pauta, tem ganho crescente destaque a importação de bens manufaturados de segunda mão e de lixo eletrônico, ambos oriundos de países do Norte-Global. É justamente esse lixo que reciclado localmente e, em seguida, exportado para diferentes países industrializados viabiliza o processo, aqui denominado, de recomodização da economia. Desse modo, a tese procura demonstrar que Gana integra circuitos econômicos internacionalizados pelas suas pontas. / Extremities in circuit discusses on the role of Ghana in the International Labor Division (ILD) at the dawn of the twenty-first century. The study is based on the assumption that the consensus broadly widespread in the West in analyzing African countries as \"major commodity exporters\" is generic and insufficient to understand their multiple forms of insertion in the contemporary world economy. As a result of historical combinations between the means of production and the productive forces of the territory, the Ghanaian socio-spatial formation must surely be analyzed within the ILD taking into account the production of its main commodities (gold, manganese, bauxite, diamond, oil and cocoa). At the same time, however, it is also essential to understand in depth the country\'s import pattern which, centered on the purchase of various types of manufactured goods, indicates some particular deficiencies in the national mode of production. Moreover, in the composition of this pattern, the import of manufactured secondhand goods and electronic waste, from the Global-North, has gained increasing prominence. It is precisely this waste recycled locally and then exported to different industrialized countries that enables the process here called \"recommodization of the economy\". Thus, this research seeks to demonstrate that Ghana integrates internationalized economic circuits by its extremities.

A pesquisa, de caráter qualitativo, visou abordar as conexões entre a dimensão local e global sobre o trabalho desenvolvido por esse segmento de imigrantes no cenário produtivo inscrito na globalização. Considera-se na presente pesquisa o papel da classe que vive do trabalho no bojo desse processo de globalização, indagando a articulação entre o arcaico e o moderno inscrita em um nicho da economia informal, no qual são contratados trabalhadores que partem dos países africanos para o Brasil em busca de oportunidades de inserção social, formação acadêmica e/ou de trabalho para manter a subsistência dos familiares que permanecem em seus países de origem. A fim de analisar esse movimento, abarcou-se a divisão internacional do trabalho e a reestruturação produtiva como fomento das desigualdades sociais mundiais, aspectos aqui compreendidos como fundamentais para debater a emergência da igualdade substantiva como fator primordial no equilíbrio da humanidade / Abstract: This study attempts to analyze the characteristics of the African immigrant labor in the city of Sao Paulo. Through a qualitative methodological approach, the research aims to shed light on the connections between the local and global dimensions of the African immigrant labor in the context of globalization. It investigates the role of the working class in globalization and poses question concerning the articulation between archaic and modern aspects of informal economic niches, in which African immigrants are employed where they come to Brazil in search of opportunities for social inclusion, academic education or a job so that they can sustain their families back home. In order to analyze the characteristics of this migration, this study focused on investigating mechanisms through which the international division of labor and the restructuring of production generate social inequalities worldwide. It concluded that understanding these mechanisms is essential to demonstrate that the emergence of the substantial equality is a primordial factor for the equilibrium of humanity / Mestrado / Sociologia / Mestre em Sociologia

Le vieillissement de la population et les différentes réformes du système de santé au Québec ont mené à divers bouleversements, et à un déplacement des soins et des services vers le domicile. Les groupes professionnels travaillant dans le secteur du maintien à domicile ont vu leur travail se transformer et évoluer au fil des ans. Selon R. Bourque (1992), qui s’est intéressée à la professionnalisation du métier d’auxiliaire familiale et sociale dans les années 1980 et au début des années 1990, les auxiliaires familiales et sociales font partie des travailleuses ayant connu le plus de changement dans la nature de leurs tâches depuis leur intégration à l’intérieur de la santé et des services sociaux en 1972. Notre recherche s’intéresse à l’évolution des pratiques professionnelles des auxiliaires familiales et sociales en CLSC au Québec depuis les années 1990. L’étude réalisée à l’aide de huit entretiens semi-dirigés portant sur l’évolution des pratiques des AFS depuis les années 1990, a permis de saisir et de comprendre l’évolution des tâches et des fonctions de ces AFS à partir de leur quotidien. Les résultats démontrent une spécialisation accrue du travail vers les soins d’hygiène et les actes délégués de type infirmier. Toutefois, l’hétérogénéité des pratiques de ces AFS témoigne de la survie de certaines tâches, notamment au niveau des activités de la vie domestique (AVD). L’enjeu majeur de ce groupe professionnel se situe dans la consolidation d’une association plus forte et plus inclusive afin de faire valoir leurs revendications et faire face aux défis qu’elles doivent surmonter au quotidien afin de faire reconnaître leur travail. / The aging population and the various reforms within the health system in Quebec have led to various changes over the years. Professional groups working in the field of home care services have seen their work transformed and evolved over the past decades. According to Bourque (1992), who was interested in the professionalization of home-care workers in the 1980s and the early 1990s, home-care workers are among the workers who experienced the most change in the nature of their tasks since their integration in the Health and Social Services in 1972. Our research focuses on the evolution of the professional practices of home-care workers in CLSC in Quebec since 1990. This study that was realized with semi-structured interviews with eight home-care workers led to understand the evolution of the tasks and functions of these workers. The result of this research shows a growing specialization of their work as well as increased tasks related to nursing care. However, the heterogeneity of these practices demonstrates the survival of certain tasks, particularly in terms of the activities of daily living. The major challenge in this group lies in the consolidation of a stronger and more inclusive association to assert their claims and to meet the challenges they face every day in order to recognize their work.
