Resumo: This article, based on ethnographic research, seeks to examine the constitution and social dynamics of the Portuguese casinos’ working class. The most relevant elements in the class experience of these professionals are the clientelism/nepotism present in the recruitment process of the casinos and the asymmetrical distribution of tips. If, on the one hand, these elements are mobilized by the workers, on the other, they are an integral part of the capitalist relations of exploitation and domination. Finally, it is argued that the position of structural subordination in the relationships between capital and labor, combined with the practices of social closure that guarantee relative occupational privileges to these workers, produces an eminently contradictory class habitus.

Os elementos mais preponderantes na experiência de classe destes profissionais são o clientelismo/nepotismo preponderantes no recrutamento dos casinos analisados e a distribuição assimétrica das gorjetas. Se, por um lado, estes elementos são operacionalizados pelos próprios trabalhadores, por outro, são parte constituinte das relações de exploração e dominação tipicamente capitalistas. Por fim, argumenta-se que a posição de subordinação estrutural nas relações assimétricas entre capital e trabalho, conjugada com as práticas de oclusão social que garantem relativos privilégios ocupacionais a estes trabalhadores, produzem um habitus de classe eminentemente contraditório.Instituto de Ciências Sociais da Universidade de Lisboa2023-06-21info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/articleapplication/pdfhttps://doi.org/10.31447/AS00032573.2022245.09https://doi.org/10.31447/AS00032573.2022245.09Análise Social; Vol. 57 N.º 245 (2022); 824-8442182-29990003-2573reponame:Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos)instname:Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãoinstacron:RCAAPporhttps://revistas.rcaap.pt/analisesocial/article/view/29588https://revistas.rcaap.pt/analisesocial/article/view/29588/21119Gomes, Joãoinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess2023-06-24T05:31:10Zoai:ojs.revistas.rcaap.pt:article/29588Portal AgregadorONGhttps://www.rcaap.pt/oai/openaireopendoar:71602024-03-19T16:46:46.745218Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos) - Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãofalse
