Abstract
Resumo Este artigo articula uma perspectiva feminista necessária aos Estudos Organizacionais à análise das práticas de resistência de caráter infrapolítico. O estudo teve por objetivo compreender o organizar da malha de práticas cotidianas que envolvem a estética de lances e as táticas e estratégias de resistência, inclusive de caráter infrapolítico, por meio da arte de uma artesã e das ações de uma rede de mulheres da qual ela faz parte. A metodologia de pesquisa se baseou na abordagem qualitativa, com enfoque em estudo de caso, respaldada por observação direta, pesquisa documental, diário de campo e entrevista em profundidade. A análise dos relatos identificou o organizar de diferentes práticas de resistência, da artesã e da rede de mulheres, que têm como base o reúso de materiais descartados por grandes empresas. No contexto da “estética de lances”, tais materiais surgem como fonte de suprimento, geração de renda e inspiração para a recriação artística de elementos simbólicos da cultura nordestina. No âmbito da rede de mulheres, a análise aponta, ainda, os laços de afeto e ressonância como elos de um movimento infrapolítico que mobiliza as mulheres em torno de objetivos de luta e resistência em diferentes espaços. A articulação teórica promove avanços no campo dos Estudos Organizacionais ao construir uma proposição que alia os estudos do cotidiano e da estética de Certeau (2014) às questões de resistência discutidas por Spicer e Böhm (2007) e aos debates feministas.
Highlights
Everyday practices have been the subject of research in Organizational Studies and researchers have been showing an increasing interest in the day-to-day issues that go to make up the happenings of life and the meanings that social actors are constructing, transforming and organizing (e.g., BARROS and CARRIERI, 2015; LASATER-WILLE, 2018)
We sought to understand how daily practices are organized that involve the aesthetics of tricks and the tactics and strategies of resistance - including those of an infra-political nature - through the art of a female artisan and the actions of a women’s network of which she is part
With regard to the observation procedure of the web of practices related to the aesthetics of “tricks” and resistance, it was decided to focus on the artistic production process of a peacock, for which different types of automobile filters were used, all of which came from the partnership the artisan had established with a large automobile dealership
Summary
Everyday practices have been the subject of research in Organizational Studies and researchers have been showing an increasing interest in the day-to-day issues that go to make up the happenings of life and the meanings that social actors are constructing, transforming and organizing (e.g., BARROS and CARRIERI, 2015; LASATER-WILLE, 2018). In harmony with today’s social transformations, Spicer and Böhm (2007) examine the practices of organizations from the perspective of resistance movements and stress that collective emotions and a feeling of solidarity have a relevant role to play in structuring everyday movements through similar patterns of affection and resonance For these authors, resistance practices come in many forms, either in the context of work or of civil society, and may be political or infra-political in nature, the latter being organized in a very informal way involving struggles for cultural recognition and justice. The authors point out that the analysis of organizations that are at the boundaries of social order, as opposed to traditional organization and management models, may constitute a fruitful field for the development of new approaches to organizational studies
