Resumo: Through the notion of double consciousness, observed in the work The souls of black folk (1903), by W. E. B. Du Bois and used as a discursive meta-reference, this article, as a theoretical essay, aims to establish an epistemological reflection that contributes so that Social Management does not relapse in the pathology of double consciousness – a management, in the form of social action, which names itself as normatively emancipatory, but which represents in life materiality, in a contradictory way, the continuity of an oppressive social reality. For this, after identifying the axiological sense assigned to Social Management and pointing out the main difficulties, limitations, and criticism mapped in the specialized literature, we brought forth two themes poorly explored in the Social Management domain – power relations, substantiated on the concept of power coloniality, and the relationship man/nature, delineated by the aspect of ecology – in order to demonstrate that such management, a problem-management, not a response-management, must develop the ability to discuss itself, feel itself as a problem, and think through unexplained issues of its own. In the end, after exposing a set of epistemological features, it was shown that Social Management, in order to avoid suffering from the epistemological gaps observed in Strategic Management, breaking with the trend to constitute an epistemological anteroom, by selectively filtering the observable and significant realities, and, this way, keeping the social cohesion provided by the ideology of hegemonic management, it must constitute the plural possibility of other kinds of management, through situated knowledge and practice.

E. B. Du Bois e utilizada como metarreferência discursiva, este artigo, como ensaio teórico, objetiva estabelecer uma reflexão epistemológica que contribua para que a Gestão Social não recaia na patologia da dupla consciência – uma gestão, na forma de ação social, que se credita normativamente emancipatória, mas que representa na materialidade da vida, de modo contraditório, a continuidade de uma realidade social opressora. Para tanto, após a identificação do sentido axiológico atribuído à Gestão Social e o apontamento das principais dificuldades, limitações e críticas mapeadas na literatura especializada, foram trazidas à baila duas temáticas pouco exploradas no âmbito da Gestão Social – relações de poder, consubstanciadas no conceito de colonialidade de poder, e a relação homem/natureza, delineada pelo aspecto da ecologia – a fim de demonstrar que tal gestão, uma gestão-problema, não uma gestão-resposta, deve desenvolver a capacidade de se autoproblematizar, de sentir-se como um problema e de refletir acerca de suas próprias questões não explicitadas. Ao final, após a exposição de um conjunto de caracteres epistemológicos, demonstrou-se que a Gestão Social, para não padecer das lacunas epistemológicas observadas na Gestão Estratégica, rompendo com a tendência de constituir uma antessala epistemológica, ao filtrar seletivamente as realidades observáveis e significativas e, dessa feita, mantendo a coesão social propiciada pela ideologia da gestão hegemônica, ela deve constituir a possibilidade plural de outras gestões, a partir de saberes e prática situados.Escola Brasileira de Administração Pública e de Empresas da Fundação Getulio Vargas2014-06-12info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.fgv.br/cadernosebape/article/view/9081Cadernos EBAPE.BR; Vol. 12 No. 2 (2014); 237 a 251Cadernos EBAPE.BR; Vol. 12 Núm. 2 (2014); 237 a 251Cadernos EBAPE.BR; v. 12 n. 2 (2014); 237 a 2511679-3951reponame:Cadernos EBAPE.BRinstname:Fundação Getulio Vargas (FGV)instacron:FGVporhttps://periodicos.fgv.br/cadernosebape/article/view/9081/23798Justen, Carlos EduardoNeto, Luís MorettoGarrido, Paulo Otoliniinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess2016-10-10T17:37:38Zoai:ojs.periodicos.fgv.br:article/9081Revistahttps://periodicos.fgv.br/cadernosebapehttps://periodicos.fgv.br/cadernosebape/oaicadernosebape@fgv.br||cadernosebape@fgv.br1679-39511679-3951opendoar:2024-05-13T09:59:46.657894Cadernos EBAPE.BR - Fundação Getulio Vargas (FGV)true
