In this paper, we trace a conceptual roadmap aimed at reconciling a life course perspective with the sociology of class and social inequality. We begin by presenting the life course perspective, reflecting on the central role it grants to processes of institutional regulation. Taking stock of critiques to both atomist explanations of agency and structural determinisms, we advocate for a longitudinal reading of how inequalities shape individual and collective trajectories, mobilizing concepts advanced by Pierre Bourdieu. We then demonstrate the potential of this approach to discuss how life course trajectories unfold in late modernity, drawing on recent research on Portugal. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper examines the theoretical approaches to the persistence of class inequalities in educational attainment and social mobility. After examining them, the paper stresses their insufficiencies to explain the reproduction of class inequalities in education and social mobility, and also the possibility of social change.

This paper proposes an approach to the identification of class ascriptions of the members of the human rights movement in Argentina. After observing a polyclassist integration of the social movement, it focuses on the dominance in its leadership and composition of members of the middle classes and sometimes more specifically of the service classes. First, some dimensions underlying the concept of "social class" are developed, and then, through different surveys, outline the composition of different human rights organizations. Finally, it is concluded that although class ascription was not decisive for the composition of the movement, it did lay the foundations for a shared political culture and for the adoption of discourse and action repertoires.

This paper aims to reflect on the relevance of the ethnographic method to the seizure of social policies in the field of Food and Nutrition. It is based on data from a survey conducted in a community kitchen from a sorting and waste composting unit (UTC) - popularly known as "dump" - in a neighborhood on the outskirts of Porto Alegre-RS, Brazil. It is argued that the merit of this research is its traditional method, ethnography, which involves a set of concepts and procedures that will lead us to the point of view of the groups surveyed through an intensive work-site. Firstly we seek to bring some definitions and characterizations of social policies that address Food and Nutrition Security (FNS) as well as the ethnographic context; then, based on some ethnographic notes, we will try to elucidate, although initially, possible appropriations that actors do on the community kitchen and on other programs there. Without pretending to wind up the debate, at the end the discussion is in favor of the relevance of the method for a deep understanding of the directions given to social programs and to the questioning of the different logics that inhabit the context studied, allowing critically rethink the government's actions concerning FNS.

O texto detém-se sobre um tipo particular de organização do trabalho, chamado de células de produção, aplicado em fábricas do ramo de confecção em São Paulo, focando a experiência das operárias que trabalham sob esse formato. Vários aspectos são ressaltados a partir dele, tais como o sistema de remuneração, a regulação do/pelo grupo, o treinamento e as exigências de qualificação, a flexibilidade produtiva e o significado, para o grupo operário, do deslocamento geográfico de unidades de produção. Tais aspectos aparecem como contraponto à experiência coletiva que conformou uma identidade de classe, hoje em processo de aparente decomposição. Uma das razões para isso seria o sucesso de iniciativas privativas e confinadas ao espaço da empresa, das quais as células de produção são um exemplo. A descrição pormenorizada de casos concretos pretende contribuir com alguns elementos para uma apreciação compreensiva do fenômeno e suas implicações teóricas para o debate sobre as classes sociais.This paper approaches a particular type of work organization called production cells. That model is analized in its application through plants in the garment industry, in the state of São Paulo, Brazil. It focused on the working women experience under that work model, from which some aspects are stressed in this paper such as the payment system, the regulation of work by/of the worker's group, the training and its skill features, the productive flexibility, and the meaning of the geographical plant de-localisation to the worker group itself. Such aspects appear to be a counterpoint to the collective experience that moulded class identity in the past and that is, nowadays, being destroyed. One of the reasons for that fact is supposed to be the well-established private initiatives made by companies related to their workforce. This kind of strategies, among which production cells are a good example, circumscribe the labor contest to the inner space of the company level. The detailed report of cases discussed here intend to contribute with some elements to a comprehensive appreciation of the work organization debate as well as its further theoretical inferences in terms of the social class paradigm.

As limitações evidenciadas no emprego de variáveis empírico-indutivas nas alternativas hegemônicas da Epidemiologia para o tratamento das variações sócio-econômicas em coletivos humanos levaram à necessidade de novas propostas. Assim, foi introduzido o emprego da categoria classe social, operacionalizada de acordo com a inserção produtiva dos indivíduos estudados, apresentando potencialidades já evidenciadas em alguns estudos. O presente trabalho buscou identificar problemas e limites existentes na utilização do conceito de classe social na investigação epidemiológica. São abordados neste artigo alguns aspectos, entre eles: o tratamento das classes sociais enquanto agregados articulados no processo de investigação, a necessidade de adequar o esquema de operacionalização às particularidades de cada formação sócio-econômica, a simplificação efetivada no processo de redução do conceito de classe a uma série de variáveis articuladas empregadas, a necessidade de amostra relativamente grande, a existência de controvérsias na definição da inserção de classe de segmentos afastados da produção e de indivíduos com duas ou mais inserções produtivas distintas.The application of inductive empirical variables in hegemonic alternatives of Epidemiology in order to treat socioeconomic variations in human groups has displayed certain limitations raising the need for new proposals. The use of social class was thus introduced as an analytical category operated according to place in the productive process for the subjects under study. This choice has already shown potentialities in several studies. This paper was intended to identify some limits and problems occurring when using the social class concept in epidemiological research. Besides the need for an adequate theoretical framework, construction of categories consistent with both their theories and the levels of abstraction employed, and the concern for more carefully analyzing the consumer and working modes for each social class (questions that have been discused elsewhere), this paper approaches several issues, as follows: the treatment of social classes as articulated clusters in the research process, the need to adjust the operational scheme to the particularities of each socioeconomic formation, the simplification resulting from the process of reducing the concept of social class to several linked variables, the need for a relatively large sample, the existence of debate over the definition of the position of class groups not participating in production, and subjects with two or more different positions in production.

This paper analyzes the effects of social class on the educational performance of young Brazilians students. Our theoretical approach in this study is based on Pierre Bourdieu’s concept of social class. We opted for a quantitative methodology using the database of the Basic Education Evaluation System (Saeb) tests carried out in 2013. We used descriptive statistics, correspondence analysis and multiple linear regression. Empirical results showed the persistence of the effects of social class on academic performance, although these results coexist with the impacts of variables related to schooling, individual life story and pedagogical aspects.

The objective os this paper is to analyze the resignification of subaltern experience as lived by women of popular classes that relate to each other through digital media. We observe how the use of these media points out toward new forms of subjectivation and that intersec, especially, with differences of class and gender. Therefore we conducted multilocated and mediated ethnographic research in online platforms like Facebook, Bolsa de Mulher, Whatsapp groups as in offline environments that mold the everyday lives of our subjects, mainly Baixada Fluminense and the poor West region of Rio de Janeiro

The present paper will analyze the concept of social class from a theoretical perspective of the production of identities and communities and the role of the social subject within seminal works of Pierre Bourdieu and Charles Taylor. In both authors, the concept of social class appears connected to a central idea of subject that pervades the field of political action, defining temporally and spatially the objective possibilities of subjective action. Seeking a critical dialogue between these two authors, it is observed how the revision project of the concept of social class proposed by Bourdieu is engraved in a critical project of recognition both in its economic and socio-cultural realms.

O objetivo deste trabalho é analisar de que forma a posição social das famílias está associada ao estado de saúde individual auto-avaliado. As informações foram extraídas dos suplementos de saúde da Pesquisa Nacional por Amostra de Domicílios (PNAD/IBGE) de 1998 e 2003. A análise baseou-se em estatísticas descritivas e regressão logística para captar a relação condicional entre estado de saúde, posição social e demais variáveis de controle, como idade, sexo, raça/cor, renda, escolaridade e região de residência. Os resultados mostram que a hierarquia de classes ocupacionais reproduz-se na auto-avaliação do estado de saúde. Há um aumento das desigualdades entre 1998 e 2003, com redução na prevalência de saudáveis nos grupos de base e aumento no topo da pirâmide social. Embora a prevalência de saudáveis seja maior nas classes não agrícolas, a probabilidade de declarar-se saudável é maior para os agrícolas, depois de adicionadas as demais variáveis de controle. Os resultados reforçam a necessidade de se analisar as desigualdades em saúde sob a perspectiva da estratificação social.The aim of this paper is to analyze how the social position of families affects self-reported health status, based on data from the 1998 and 2003 National Sample Household Survey of the Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics (PNAD-IBGE). The method was based on descriptive statistics and logistic regression to capture the conditional relationship between health status, social position, and other control variables, such as age, sex, race/color, income, education, and place of residence. The results show that the same hierarchy of the occupational classes is reproduced in self-reported health status. There was an increase in inequalities in the period, with a reduction in the prevalence of healthy workers in the lower social strata and an increase in the upper strata. Although there were more healthy individuals in non-agricultural classes, the probability of good self-reported health was higher among agricultural workers, after the other control variables were added to the regression models. The results emphasize the need to analyze health inequalities from the perspective of social stratification.

Este artigo tem por objetivo analisar parte dos romances de Jorge Amado, publicados na década de 1930, à luz dos diálogos que o autor estabeleceu com o debate racial naquele momento, com especial atenção às obras Jubiabá (1935), Mar Morto (1936) e Capitães de Areia (1937). Trata-se, fundamentalmente, de um esforço em ressaltar as possíveis articulações entre as noções de raça, classe social e gênero presente nestas obras, lidas sob uma dupla perspectiva. De um lado, a partir dos sentidos de que Jorge Amado investiu sua produção literária na chave de um romance proletário e, de outro, tendo em vista os tratamentos particulares que dispensou ao seu "material etnográfico" sobre o negro, encontrando neste matéria-prima privilegiada de ficcionalização.The aim of this paper is to analyze part of Jorge Amado's novels that were published in the 1930's in the context of the debates about race in which the author took part. Three books are the center of this analysis, namely Jubiabá (1935), Mar Morto (1936) and Capitães de Areia (1937). It focuses on the possible articulations between the notions of race, class and gender in these books, from two different points of view. On one hand, it studies these books paying attention to what Jorge Amado himself considered a "proletarian novel" - for this was one of his main concerns when writing his literature. On the other hand, it examines how the author used his "ethnographic data" about black people, since he elected them as the principal subjects of his fiction.

Este artigo examina a visão do Banco Mundial sobre a primeira infância como exemplo da globalização da infância. Argumenta que a globalização é caracterizada por um ponto de vista econômico neoliberal que exacerba a desigualdade entre nações ricas e pobres e entre ricos e pobres, dentro de cada país, bem como por um otimismo tecnológico-científico que enfatiza os benefícios das intervenções tecnológicas. O artigo mostra como esses dois aspectos da globalização influenciaram as políticas para crianças pequenas que o Banco Mundial vem promovendo ativamente. Recorre aos indícios apresentados pelo Banco Mundial para exemplificar as contradições inerentes a essa abordagem.This paper explores the World Bank's view of early childhood as an example of the globalization of childhood. It argues that globalization is characterized by a particular neo-liberal economic approach which exacerbates the gap between rich and poor nations and between the rich and poor within countries; and by a technological/scientific optimism which stresses the benefits of technological interventions. It traces how these two aspects of globalization have influenced the policies towards young children that the World Bank is now actively promoting. It will draw on evidence presented by the World Bank to illustrate the contradictions inherent in such an approach.
