RESUMO:

 

This research deals with the theoretical analytical approaches identified in the Brazilian Social Work's theoretical production about social policy and the specificity of social assistance and its relation with the process of labour-power reproduction. The object of this study was the conceptions expressed by Social Work authors about social policy and social assistance in their relation to the labour-power reproduction. Therefore, this research’s central problem is: what is the relationship between the conception of social assistance, the social policy and the labour-power as state mediation present in the Brazilian Social Work’s theoretical production? The goals were: 1) to grasp the theoretical-methodological foundations of the social policy conception within Social Work literature; 2) to identify the adopted perspectives in such analyses of the capitalist state and their relation to the labour-power reproduction; 3) to analyse the specificity of social assistance as state mediation in relation to the labour-power reproduction. About the theoretical assumptions, this work is essentially a theoretical one, subsidized by bibliographical research as a process of data collection addressing the Social Work literature. The results are presented from the apprehension of three analytical perspectives: 1) The fight against poverty (Social Policy and the Fight Against Poverty: The Social Reproduction of the Subaltern Classes); 2) The Class Struggle Perspective (Social Policy and the Centrality of Class Struggle: The Supremacy of Policy in the Perspective of Totality); and 3) The dynamics of interdependence between State and capital (Social Policy and the Dynamics between the State and the Process of the Accumulation of Capital). Finally, the analysis admits that the real apprehension of social policy’s social function – and its particularity as social assistance – emerges in the context of monopolistic capital. As the historical requirement of social policies is based on the labour-force reproduction, it is necessary, in order to grasp its founding determinations, to focus on the perspective of totality in the relationship between politics and economy, namely, on the basis of reciprocity between the capital and the State. It is concluded that the contemporary implications in the field of social rights, and therefore of social policies, need to be apprehended with the determinations of capital in the face of the limitations present in its expansion in times of structural crisis and that the historical moment imposes a process of devaluation of labour-power, keeping the reproduction of the latter in the verge of survival.
