Work analogous to slavery. Production chain of carnauba. Work Clinic. Speech analysis.
The present work sought to contribute to the understanding of the discourses of the context of work activity analogous to slavery (TEA) of workers rescued from the carnauba production chain in Rio Grande do Norte (Brazil). Such an interpretative effort sought support in the theoretical contributions of historical-cultural psychology, work clinics and dialogues with the French-speaking tradition of discourse analysis, and unfolded in three studies: 1) Genesis, characterization and ASD; 2) binomial freedom-servitude and resistance to ASD; 3) (auto)biographical narratives of those rescued from TEA. In terms of method, this research adheres to] a qualitative-interpretative approach, based on the case study procedure, using the following techniques for collecting, processing and analyzing the discursive material obtained: in study 1, a dialogic discursive analysis was performed from the documentary corpus obtained in operation nº 62/2018 by the GEFM (Special Group for Mobile Inspection), in study 2 a narrative analysis of the theoretical-bibliographic corpus was carried out and in study 3 a discursive analysis of the (auto)biographical narratives (AADNA) of the corpus from the transcribed interviews. inspection discourse, marked by argumentative-expository-descriptive narration, in which the real is exposed in its impediments elements, verifying also the ethical-dialogical commitment with the denaturalization and defense of decent, free and sustainable work (study 1). Discourses supported, still, by a subject of the historical-cultural discourse affected in his becoming-power-action in the face of the illusions of passions, fear, sad affections responsible for servitude (study 2) and, finally, pervaded (auto)biographical narratives by stories and memories wrapped in the generational and children's TAE, marked by sad and dual meaning affections; reinforced by individualizing discourses of pseudo-freedom, of “partnership” with the instances of enslavement, of the complete absence of contradiction, of an objectified, disposable, objectified, massified subject, of absence of alterity, of erased, emptied civilizational agendas. Thus, it is necessary to invest in the power to act, in the authorship of the subject, in becoming-power, in social transformation.
