SUMMARY:

This dissertation had as general objective to analyze the concept of pluralism in the Brazilian Social Work, taking as reference the Conselho Federal de Serviço Social (CFESS). In the profession, pluralism presents itself as an essential element of training and professional practice. However, despite its importance, it prevails as an ethical principle little understood and studied. In this context, we argue that situating how the category's representative bodies - and more specifically the CFESS - conceive it is a crucial step to understand how it materializes in the profession, and, thus, contributing to fill this gap. In this sense, the specific objectives that guided the research included understanding the historical social determinants of the development of pluralism in Brazilian Social Work; examine the theoretical and ideological bases of the concept of pluralism adopted by the Federal Council for Social Work; and to identify the contours of this conception. For the development of this study, we carried out, based on an ontological approach, a qualitative research of an explanatory nature. The theoretical instruments made it possible to situate pluralism in society - understanding it as an ambiguous phenomenon that emerged from modernity - as well as its establishment in the Brazilian Social Service during the period of professional renewal. In addition, we point out the general features that make up the new hegemony established since then, which was configured as the ground on which a new way of conceiving and concretizing pluralism in the profession was developed. It was precisely on the basis of this scenario that we sought, in the following chapters, to expose CFESS's concept of pluralism. For that, we used a documentary research, which analyzed, with the help of a script, fifteen sources of CFESS, distributed in seven categories: publication, article, report, process, letter, CFESS Manifesta and resolution. After a survey on its website - from which we selected, among the approximately one hundred and thirty results, initially seventy-six -, these were chosen because they are the most illuminating regarding the concept of pluralism of the organ. This sample was selected based on a temporal criterion related to the Council's last four administrations (2008-2020). The results obtained revealed that the entity's conception of pluralism is based on the defense of a non-neutrality and on the idea of “hegemony with pluralism”. We emphasize, in this context, the challenges and the necessary care in dealing with these issues, so that the profession does not fall into a political mistake and an anti-pluralism. In addition, the body presented a negative definition of pluralism associated with a criticism of eclecticism, as well as, and mainly, a positive definition that understands respect as a “respectful struggle” and democracy under socialist scopes. We conclude by pointing to the complexity and importance of this theme, indicating the path of belligerent coexistence as one that understands the limits and potential of pluralism in Brazilian Social Work.
