Os herdeiros da costura?: trajetória de jovens trabalhadores da confecção.

Abstract

This research aims to characterize the trajectories, heritages (dispositional) and changes (in their dispositional complexes) that young clothing workers go through when inserting themselves in the productive dynamics of the Clothing Pole in the rough of Pernambuco State, which has its reference matrix in the municipalities of Caruaru, Santa Cruz do Capibaribe (SCC) and Toritama. As the growing expansion and influence of the Polo in neighboring cities and states has been a recurring reality, the field of research was the small towns of the Cariri Paraibano and Umbuzeiro (Coxixola and Santa Cecília / PB) microregions, whose alteration in their daily social relations through the confection became significant, constituting fields and own capital, especially to the young workers. Thus, we sought to understand these relationships in two dimensions: identify the extent to which there are structures, with defined rules for agents who wish to progress / stay in the field of clothing, as well as present possible escape routes to those who a priori are “ impelled ”by these structures. In other words, the objective of this paper is to present the modus vivendi and the modus operandi of the Clothing Pole that add up and form the research script to be traced, aiming to diagnose how social reproduction has occurred, what are its characteristics and under what conditions /contexts can occur ruptures in the eventual “logic of reproduction”. From the methodological point of view, trajectories of young workers in the field will be presented and through biographical interviews will be built four "sociological portraits" that measure possibilities of action and reflexivity of those who are within the field of clothing. Such portraits will lead the scientific view on the social formation that each individual is submitted to and by undertaking such research, in an individual-scale sociology approach, verify how each person's action strategies are implemented. In short, finding out how the “reproductive cycle” takes place and how some contexts allow for the structures that the clothing contains, will be the challenge to be examined.
