Resumo: | Our article begins with the argument that the category of recognition, when used within the context of peripheral modernity, implies a social configuration that is quite differentiated from the context in which it was originally elaborated. This is necessary for our ensuing discussion of how struggles for recognition can in the end provide a basis for and legitimate social inequality in Brazil. In countries of this sort, access to social recognition tends to be built not through struggles for recognition as subjects who are bearers of rights but on the contrary, through the struggle to mark out a difference that makes it possible for them to access the material and symbolic gains associated with this differentiated position. In order to explore the analytic possibilities that this argument opens up, we look at collective organizing experiences of collectors of recyclable materials in the state of Rio Grande do Sul. We demonstrate that, in opposition to the discourses and intentions that undergird the organizations we researched, the struggles for recognition that they undertake are to a large extent marked by their effort to differentiate themselves from others who find themselves in a similarly subaltern condition, thus establishing competition for access to particular scarce material and symbolic goods.. Keywords: peripheral modernity, social recognition, distinction, catadores. |

Keywords: peripheral modernity, social recognition, distinction, catadores.Este artigo parte do argumento de que a categoria do reconhecimento, na modernidade periférica, se depara com uma configuração social bastante diferenciada do contexto no qual foi originalmente elaborada, para discutir o quanto as lutas por reconhecimento podem acabar por fundamentar e legitimar a desigualdade social no país. Em países como o Brasil, o acesso ao reconhecimento social tende a se construir não pela luta para ser reconhecido como sujeito portador de direitos, mas, ao contrário, pela luta para marcar uma distinção que possibilite usufruir os ganhos materiais e simbólicos associados a esta posição diferenciada. Com o intuito de explorar as possibilidades analíticas abertas por este argumento, o artigo enfoca experiências de organização coletiva de catadores de materiais recicláveis no estado do Rio Grande do Sul. Demonstra-se que, em oposição aos discursos e intencionalidades que orientam a atuação das organizações investigadas, as lutas por reconhecimento que elas desenvolvem são, em grande medida, marcadas por um esforço para se distinguir de outros que se situam na mesma condição de subalternidade, estabelecendo uma competição pelo acesso a determinados bens materiais e simbólicos escassos.Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina (UFSC)2009-10-06info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/politica/article/view/2175-7984.2009v8n14p44710.5007/2175-7984.2009v8n14p447Política & Sociedade; Vol. 8 No. 14 (2009); 447-474Política & Sociedade; Vol. 8 Núm. 14 (2009); 447-474Política & Sociedade; v. 8 n. 14 (2009); 447-4742175-79841677-4140reponame:Política & Sociedade (Online)instname:Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina (UFSC)instacron:UFSCporhttps://periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/politica/article/view/2175-7984.2009v8n14p447/10966Copyright (c) 2009 Política & Sociedadeinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessKunrath Silva, MarceloMichelotti, Fernando Canto2022-11-21T14:13:36Zoai:periodicos.ufsc.br:article/11631Revistahttp://www.periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/politicaPUBhttps://periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/politica/oai||ernesto.seidl@ufsc.br|| ps@cfh.ufsc.br2175-79841677-4140opendoar:2022-11-21T14:13:36Política & Sociedade (Online) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina (UFSC)false |

Our article begins with the argument that the category of recognition, when used within the context of peripheral modernity, implies a social configuration that is quite differentiated from the context in which it was originally elaborated. This is necessary for our ensuing discussion of how struggles for recognition can in the end provide a basis for and legitimate social inequality in Brazil. In countries of this sort, access to social recognition tends to be built not through struggles for recognition as subjects who are bearers of rights but on the contrary, through the struggle to mark out a difference that makes it possible for them to access the material and symbolic gains associated with this differentiated position. In order to explore the analytic possibilities that this argument opens up, we look at collective organizing experiences of collectors of recyclable materials in the state of Rio Grande do Sul. We demonstrate that, in opposition to the discourses and intentions that undergird the organizations we researched, the struggles for recognition that they undertake are to a large extent marked by their effort to differentiate themselves from others who find themselves in a similarly subaltern condition, thus establishing competition for access to particular scarce material and symbolic goods..
