Resumo: | The aim of the current study is to analyze the work of street (circus) performers at traffic lights, from a sociological perspective. Therefore, this article focuses on contributing to improve debates about work, by going beyond the individualistic psychological perspective prevailing in the Business Management field and in organizational studies. By assuming work as social practice arising from organizing processes, it uses the classic concepts — deriving from Sociology — of stigma and deviance, as well as takes a critical position about neoliberal rationality, to theoretically contribute to process to think about work based on a non-traditional logic. It analyzes organizations outside organizations, such as family, the streets and the city. The main findings observed in the current study, based on eighteen semi-structured interviews conducted with street artists, enabled seeing that stigmas, such as tramps and filthy people, imposed on these artists, as well as difficulties in their relationship with their families, are the main obstacles to the type of work carried out by them. It was possible concluding that market-oriented neoliberal rationality, which appropriates people’s work and turns profit maximization into the very rationality of life, contributes for circus artists who work at traffic lights to be considered deviant and stigmatized, as well as opens room for angry discourses capable of promoting violence and prejudice. Thus, it is necessary changing the “get a job, you tramp!” statement into understanding of and respect for different individuals. |

Diante disso, este texto busca contribuir para o avanço do debate sobre trabalho, indo além da perspectiva psicológica individualista que predomina na área de administração e nos estudos organizacionais. Assumindo o trabalho enquanto uma prática social oriunda de processos organizativos, utilizamos as noções clássicas — derivadas da sociologia — de estigma e desvio e uma posição crítica à racionalidade neoliberal, com o objetivo de contribuir teoricamente para se pensar o trabalho por uma lógica não tradicional. Olhamos para as organizações fora das organizações como, por exemplo, família, a rua e a cidade. A partir de dezoito entrevistas semiestruturadas com artistas, apresentamos como principais resultados que o estigma de vagabundos e sujos e as dificuldades de relacionamento com as famílias são os principais entraves desse tipo de trabalho realizado pelos artistas. Concluímos que a racionalidade neoliberal orientada para o mercado, que se apropria do trabalho das pessoas fazendo da maximização do lucro a própria racionalidade da vida, contribui para que os artistas circenses no semáforo sejam considerados desviantes e estigmatizados, abrindo espaço para um discurso raivoso, promotor de violências e preconceitos. Nesse sentido, é preciso transformar o “vai trabalhar, vagabundo!” em compreensão e respeito ao diferente.Núcleo de Pós-graduação em Administração, Escola de Administração, UFBA2022-10-28info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.ufba.br/index.php/revistaoes/article/view/48387Organizações & Sociedade; Vol. 29 No. 103 (2022)Organizações & Sociedade; v. 29 n. 103 (2022)1984-92301413-585Xreponame:Organizações & Sociedade (Online)instname:Universidade Federal da Bahia (UFBA)instacron:UFBAengporhttps://periodicos.ufba.br/index.php/revistaoes/article/view/48387/27692https://periodicos.ufba.br/index.php/revistaoes/article/view/48387/27693Copyright (c) 2022 Organizações & Sociedadeinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessSampaio, Ana Carolina Bispo, Marcelo de Souza2022-10-28T14:43:36Zoai:ojs.periodicos.ufba.br:article/48387Revistahttp://www.revistaoes.ufba.br/PUBhttps://old.scielo.br/oai/scielo-oai.phpcandidab@ufba.br||revistaoes@ufba.br1984-92301413-585Xopendoar:2022-10-28T14:43:36Organizações & Sociedade (Online) - Universidade Federal da Bahia (UFBA)false |
