Resumo: | The main purpose of this article is to examine some possible explanations for the editorial success of self-help segment since the last decades of the twentieth century. Four hypothesis have been developed in this direction: 1) we are living in a more reflexive time that makes room for self-help recipes and models; 2) other forms of rationality, contrary to Max Weber views, make room for self-help wisdom; 3) self-help has an important therapeutic function in a time that lives the dilemmas of late modernity; 4) the competence model that rules the contemporary organizational imaginary makes room for the lessons of self-help. Examining these explanations we will discuss in which ways the particular characteristics of our time make room for self-help. |

Paratanto, quatro eixos explicativos são desenvolvidos: 1) vivemos umperíodo de reflexividade que abre espaço para as receitas e osmodelos da autoajuda; 2) outras formas de racionalidade, numacontraposição à visão de Max Weber, abrem espaço para o saberprofessado pelos gurus da autoajuda; 3) a autoajuda tem umafunção terapêutica fundamental numa época que vive os dilemasda modernidade tardia; 4) o modelo de competência que imperano imaginário organizacional contemporâneo abre espaço paraos ensinamentos da autoajuda. Rastreando essas explicaçõesprocurar-se-á mostrar de que forma as especificidades do nossotempo constituem terreno fértil para a autoajuda.Universidade Estadual Paulista / UNESP2011-04-25info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.fclar.unesp.br/perspectivas/article/view/4108Perspectivas: Revista de Ciências Sociais; v. 38 (2010)1984-02410101-3459reponame:Perspectivasinstname:Universidade Estadual Paulista (UNESP)instacron:UNESPporhttps://periodicos.fclar.unesp.br/perspectivas/article/view/4108/3743Copyright (c) 2011 Perspectivas: Revista de Ciências Sociaisinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessMartelli, Carla Giana2011-04-25T14:33:47Zoai:ojs.pkp.sfu.ca:article/4108Revistahttps://periodicos.fclar.unesp.br/perspectivasPUBhttps://periodicos.fclar.unesp.br/perspectivas/oai||lahuerta@fclar.unesp.br1984-02410101-3459opendoar:2011-04-25T14:33:47Perspectivas - Universidade Estadual Paulista (UNESP)false |
