Abstract:
This article is based on the premise that the rules and functioning of solidarity economy practices do not replace, but can occupy space alongside, capitalism. The text is the result of reflections throughout the postgraduate course in Municipal Public Administration at a Federal University in the Northeast of Brazil. The problem addressed here is based on the notion that, with capitalism as fundamental characteristics of competition and labor exploitation, it becomes complicated for solidarity initiatives to fully rely on these practices, thus requiring a necessary intervention from the State in these organizational processes, so that the initiatives that practice the solidarity economy can support their activities with decent work and collaborate with each other instead of competing. The objective sought for this text was to reflect on the solidarity economy with a group from Leopoldina and our perception of insertion in the market. The conforming method of this work is a construction between the approach of life stories and understandings of social situations from a possible perspective of municipal public management. I have started an essay on ethnography at home here, as authorship also affects me as part of these initiatives.
of solidarity economy in Leopoldina. As a result, I reflect on epistemologically and as a practitioner, as I first establish a conceptual understanding of solidarity economy and then bring stories of lives that permeate Leopoldina and this work, in which I contextualize the municipality, specifically address solidarity economy ventures and highlight the sexual division and the expansion of the notion of work in this captured reality.
