Resumo: | Over the last few years, I have worked to develop individuals’ analytical and reflexive abilitiesregarding modes for regulating firms undergoing processes of transformation. I have done this throughgroups organized to analyze practices as well as through individual and group interviews. My thesiscenters around the notion that today, in the current world, individuals experience a sort of vertigo ordisorientation which sends them out on a perpetual search for points of reference, resources andnetworks. What is disturbing in this specific case is that the trajectories of firms and individuals canunfold in a parallel manner, that is, move in the same direction for a period of time and then suddenlybecome antagonistic. . Thus, professional trajectories are no longer as upwardly spiraling andforeseeable as they once were. Each person must therefore engage in reflexive efforts and analyzethe contexts in which he or she evolves in the building of his/her professional trajectory, with heavyconsequences at stake. To be an actor in one´s own trajectory is imperative both in firms and insociety today and can not be understood in any isolated manner. Rather, it is a process that involvesnumerous questions and requires specific conditions if it is to evolve. After examining some introductoryissues linked to this theme, I present the types of individual professional trajectories that I haveobserved in these times of crises, carrying out a final reflection on the challenges that this theoreticaland practical work present to Sociology. |

La thèse que jedéveloppe est que dans le monde actuel les individus expérimentent le vertige, la perte des sens etcherchent des repères, des réseaux et des ressources, dans un « mouvement perpétuel ». Ce quidérange alors, c’est que les trajectoires des entreprises et des individus peuvent être parallèles, c’està-dire avancer dans la même direction pendant un certain temps, puis elles deviennent soudainementtrès antagoniques. Ainsi, les trajectoires profissionnelles ne sont guère tellement ascensionnelles etprévisibles comme elles l’étaient auparavant. Il revient à chacun de faire un effort de réflexion etd’analyser les contextes où il évolue pour construire sa trajectoire professionnelle, sous peine de retrait,sinon de rejet, avec toutes les conséquences qui en découlent. Être acteur de sa trajectoire est uneinjonction de l’actualité dans les entreprises et dans la société, n’ayant pas de sens de manière isolée,cette démarche implique beaucoup de questions et exige des conditions précises pour son développement.Aprés avoir examiné quelques aspects introductoires à ce thème, je présenterai ce que j’observecomme types de trajectoires professionnelles des individus dans ce contexte de crise, en menant à la finune réflexion sur les enjeux que ce travail théorique et pratique présente à la Sociologie.Este artigo consiste numa síntese de nossos cursos oferecidos nos cursos de formação continuada do Institutode Estudos Políticos e da Universidade de Paris, Dauphine, nos quais mobilizamos um conhecimentosociológico que nos permite munir os próprios atores analisados – participantes da pesquisa – com asferramentas analíticas necessárias para encontrar respostas aos problemas de sua trajetória profissional.Primeiramente, apresentamos a constatação de fatos que nos conduzem àquele método : buscamos apresentaro contexto de crise (dos modelos de identificação, dos vínculos sociais e das instituições e da socialização)no qual se inserem atores e empresas. A partir dessa constatação, mobilizamos um conhecimento sociológico,baseado na teoria do ator e da reflexividade, para propor um projeto de pesquisa com fins práticos, de modoa fornecer aos atores em crise as ferramentas necessárias para sua superação, por meio de uma auto-análise,especialmente de sua trajetória e do contexto profissionais no qual evolui. Finalizamos o artigo discutindoesse aspecto aplicado, defendendo a necessidade de uma postura sociológica ao mesmo tempo clínica ecrítica.UFPR2008-11-30info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://revistas.ufpr.br/rsp/article/view/15936Revista de Sociologia e Política; v. 16, n. 31 (2008)1678-98730104-4478reponame:Revista de Sociologia e Políticainstname:Universidade Federal do Paraná (UFPR)instacron:UFPRporhttps://revistas.ufpr.br/rsp/article/view/15936/10523Dahan-Seltzer, Genevièveinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess2012-07-19T14:51:07Zoai:revistas.ufpr.br:article/15936Revistahttps://revistas.ufpr.br/rspPUBhttps://revistas.ufpr.br/rsp/oai||editoriarsp@ufpr.br1678-98730104-4478opendoar:2012-07-19T14:51:07Revista de Sociologia e Política - Universidade Federal do Paraná (UFPR)false |
