Resumo: | This study focuses on downshifters - individuals who make the choice to slow down their rhythms of life, strive to balance work and leisure, and look after frugal lifestyles in order to minimize the effects of urban capitalist industrial societies. The goal is to explore a particular type of behavior in a specific social stratum - a social group formed by families that have children in a Waldorf school in Florianopolis, Brazil. One could notice that the aspects that form the movement alter in some way not only individuals but also the families inserted in the educational space that presents itself as resistance to the traditional educational system. The Waldorf assume downshifting premises and can be perceived as decelerators, from the perspective of the counterculture. They form a cohesive group that tend to restrict their social network to those who share the same lifestyle; their cooperative actions foster feelings of belonging and solidarity that help legitimizing alternative lifestyles in a consumer society. |

Explora um tipo particular de comportamento em um estrato social específico - um grupo social formado por famílias que têm filhos em uma escola Waldorf, em Florianópolis, Brasil. Foi possível perceber que os aspectos formadores de movimento altera não só indivíduos, mas também as famílias inseridas no espaço educacional que se apresenta como resistência ao sistema educacional tradicional. Os Waldorf assumem premissas do downshifting. Sob a ótica da contracultura, formam um grupo coeso de classe média que tende a restringir sua rede social àqueles que compartilham o mesmo estilo de vida; suas ações cooperativas fomentam sentimentos de pertencimento e solidariedade que ajudam a legitimar estilos de vida alternativos em uma sociedade consumista.Universidade Federal do Ceará2021-03-01info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdftext/htmlhttp://www.periodicos.ufc.br/revcienso/article/view/3271510.36517/10.36517/rcs.52.1.a03Revista de Ciências Sociais (Social Sciences' Journal); Vol. 52 No. 1 (2021): Dossiê: Memórias de Guerra; 283-316Revista de Ciências Sociais (Revista de Ciencias Sociales); Vol. 52 Núm. 1 (2021): Dossiê: Memórias de Guerra; 283-316Revista de Ciências Sociais; v. 52 n. 1 (2021): Dossiê: Memórias de Guerra; 283-3162318-46200041-8862reponame:Revista de Ciências Sociaisinstname:Universidade Federal do Ceará (UFC)instacron:UFCporhttp://www.periodicos.ufc.br/revcienso/article/view/32715/165884http://www.periodicos.ufc.br/revcienso/article/view/32715/165885Azevedo, ElaineOliveira, Daniel Coelho deinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess2022-07-08T14:07:01Zoai:periodicos.ufc:article/32715Revistahttp://periodicos.ufc.br/revciensoPUBhttp://www.periodicos.ufc.br/index.php/revcienso/oai||rcs.ufc@gmail.com|| cunhafilho@ufc.br2318-46200041-8862opendoar:2022-07-08T14:07:01Revista de Ciências Sociais - Universidade Federal do Ceará (UFC)false |
