RESUMO

This Thesis relates to Social History concentration area and is based on the Culture and Work research line of the Program of Graduate Studies in History of Pontifícia Universidade Católica de São Paulo. It is at the level of subjectivity that major impacts placed by capital to work are located, with implications to steel industry workers of COSIPA company, in the city of Cubatão, State of São Paulo, Brazil. The theme approaches the changes in work relations and their impacts to the workers subjectivity. This choice is justified by the fact that the company experienced the privatization and technological modernization, as a transformation process, in 1993. The hypothesis that guides this research is that men are constituted as such, for synthesizing historical experiences that drive other forces in the context of social relations. The general aim is to investigate how recognition, submission, and resistance build up in work relations under transformation. As particular aims: to examine social relations experienced by workers, in view of the changes occurred; to identify new forms of social control from new technologies and privatization; to verify the impacts of changes to the values produced by tradition and customs. The methodological procedure used contemplates subjects and their perceptions, investigating the meanings attributed to their life experiences, before and after the privatization. The Thesis is presented in four chapters, besides introduction and final considerations. In chapter I, the forms of capitalist objectivization which occur for steel industry are presented. Chapter II shows the political, economic, and social conditions that made up the manufacturing life. Chapter III presents arguments on the experience of restructuring in Brazilian steel industry, focusing on technological innovation. In chapter IV, the development of research is examined, analyzing the experiences taken by workers. The results, related to the aims, indicated that: recognition, submission, and resistance build up in an environment of fear, unemployment, precariousness and anguish. Accelerated rhythms are referred to a time when people lived in a security environment; the forms of authority and domination develop in the interior of cultural differences lived; in reconceptualization, the identities built in the period of state-owned COSIPA still remain
