Abstract
Resumo Este artigo visa compreender a dinâmica da consciência política no Movimento Empresa Júnior (MEJ), examinando seu papel no fomento da formação cidadã e da identificação coletiva dos empresários júniores, num dos campi de uma universidade pública federal no sudeste do Brasil. A discussão se baseia no Modelo de Análise da Consciência Política para compreensão da participação em ações coletivas de Sandoval (2001). Trata-se de uma pesquisa qualitativa, cujos dados foram coletados através da observação participante, questionários, grupos focais e entrevistas semiestruturadas, submetidos à análise de conteúdo. Conclui-se que o MEJ apresenta a estrutura de um “movimento”, pois se aproxima mais do ideário de uma organização empresarial, que valoriza o discurso empreendedor. Além disso, a ausência de uma identidade coletiva mais sólida, enfraquece a noção de consciência política dos empresários júniores. Assim, o papel do MEJ como fomentador da consciência política e da participação dos gestores, que traria complementariedade entre a formação profissional e a cidadã, se afigura limitado.
Highlights
This article aims to understand the dynamics of political awareness within the Junior Enterprise Movement (JEM) by examining its role in fostering citizen training and junior entrepreneurs’ collective identification at a campus of a federal public university in Southeast Brazil, in the 2015 management
The interest in understanding these dynamics arose from gaps in research on university students’ political awareness and citizen participation (PALASSI and MARTINS, 2014), and criticisms of junior enterprise (JEs), which, in general, focus on entrepreneurship to the detriment of citizen awareness, what is a reflection of the process of commodification of educational institutions in Brazil (SEKI and SIMÃO, 2014)
It is worth mentioning that, when conducting a national literature review on the movement, there was no identification of works that discuss political awareness and JEM members’ participation either in collective actions of the movement or in other actions of this nature related to the JEM objectives
Summary
This article aims to understand the dynamics of political awareness within the Junior Enterprise Movement (JEM) by examining its role in fostering citizen training and junior entrepreneurs’ collective identification at a campus of a federal public university in Southeast Brazil, in the 2015 management. This article adopts the Model of Political Awareness Analysis for Understanding Participation in Collective Actions, by Sandoval (2001), as a theoretical framework for its empirical approach It is a qualitative research (CRESWELL, 2007), method that allows deepening of theoretical knowledge, performed to explain participants’ behaviors and attitudes, considering subjectivities in their respective historical and social contexts. It is worth mentioning that, when conducting a (inter) national literature review on the movement, there was no identification of works that discuss political awareness and JEM members’ participation either in collective actions of the movement or in other actions of this nature related to the JEM objectives Besides this introduction, this article is divided into four parts, namely: second part describes the theoretical framework, in order to ground the study; third part describes the research methodology; fourth part presents the results; and fifth part exposes the final considerations
