  62. 2:02with everything on sociology for the
  63. 2:04Enem exam with our Protocolo Enem
  64. 2:05teacher, Professor Juliano.
  65. 2:07>> Hey everyone, how are you all doing?
  66. 2:10It's me, Professor Juliano. You already
  67. 2:12know the drill.
  68. 2:15We are here today for our sociology
  69. 2:17session to cover, everyone, the entirety
  70. 2:20of sociology for the Enem, everything
  71. 2:22you can imagine there, the subjects that
  72. 2:25have been most addressed in recent years
  73. 2:27, all of sociology for the Enem in 50
  74. 2:30minutes.
  75. 2:32Therefore, folks, we cannot waste time
  76. 2:35because we will see, evidently, the most
  77. 2:37important concepts, the authors, the
  78. 2:39keywords that we need to be alert to in
  79. 2:42order to analyze the alternatives and
  80. 2:44mark the correct answer, right?
  81. 2:48And besides that, also do some questions
  82. 2:49there, which are some important
  83. 2:50questions that we need to go through.
  84. 2:53Got it? Let's go, people.
  85. 2:56The first point here is to understand
  86. 2:59that we have the discipline of sociology
  87. 3:01in the Enem, right, its branches from
  88. 3:04within, right, from social sciences
  89. 3:06themselves, political science,
  90. 3:08anthropology.
  91. 3:12Eh, and one of the most important
  92. 3:14references we have is this one by
  93. 3:16Anthony Giddens and Philip Sutton, who
  94. 3:18are renowned sociologists, right?
  95. 3:22And, sort of like, they...imagine that
  96. 3:24you have the most, one of the top
  97. 3:26sociologists that exist in the world;
  98. 3:28it's the guy who will create the
  99. 3:29sociology didactic material for us to
  100. 3:31work with. That's it, okay? That is why
  101. 3:34, even sometimes, entrance exams, when
  102. 3:36they are going to indicate a sociology
  103. 3:38reference, they indicate this one, okay
  104. 3:40? Why? Because it is the most complete.
  105. 3:42It will cover the main themes. And so I
  106. 3:44put it on the cover there to make sense
  107. 3:46, right? And what do we have for
  108. 3:47sociology in the Enem? Even Giddens
  109. 3:49himself has appeared in some exam
  110. 3:51questions eh in recent years too.
  111. 3:54Sociology in the Enem, folks, I have
  112. 3:56divided it for you here into five axes,
  113. 3:58let's say, right?
  114. 4:00A first axis in which we will see the
  115. 4:02classics of sociology.
  116. 4:04That group you study from the beginning
  117. 4:05, when you start studying sociology, you
  118. 4:07go through them, right? Durkheim, Weber
  119. 4:09, and Marx. Right? The most important
  120. 4:12themes treated within those authors, how
  121. 4:14they appear, right? And then we will do
  122. 4:16a little question there about Marx.
  123. 4:19Eh, we will talk then about culture,
  124. 4:21about ethnocentrism and diversity, how
  125. 4:23these things operate, about some authors
  126. 4:25who treat these themes, right?
  127. 4:29Work, the perspectives regarding work,
  128. 4:32work, the work relations that were one
  129. 4:34way, became another, and today work
  130. 4:37existing in a very specific form in the
  131. 4:39contemporary world that we are living in
  132. 4:42, okay?
  133. 4:45We will also, of course, talk about
  134. 4:47issues of social inequality, racial
  135. 4:49inequality, and gender issues that the
  136. 4:51Enem exam has also been addressing in
  137. 4:53recent times, is that clear?
  138. 4:57We will also talk about political issues
  139. 4:59, right, about citizenship, about social
  140. 5:01movements, and about several other
  141. 5:03topics that we will see throughout our
  142. 5:04class today.
  143. 5:06All good, everyone?
  144. 5:07The first thinker we will deal with here
  145. 5:10, then, is Durkheim, who is considered
  146. 5:12the first sociology professor at a
  147. 5:14university, right?
  148. 5:16And Durkheim, Weber, and Marx, the first
  149. 5:19three authors we have here from
  150. 5:21classical sociology, especially Durkheim
  151. 5:23and Weber, they have a common
  152. 5:25characteristic, which is seeking to
  153. 5:27define sociology as a discipline.
  154. 5:29Like, what is sociology? These guys are
  155. 5:31creating sociology, right?
  156. 5:33Heirs to the thought of Auguste Comte,
  157. 5:35as you know very well, but here they
  158. 5:37want, therefore, remember what they need
  159. 5:39to do?
  160. 5:40Durkheim and Weber are going to seek to
  161. 5:42develop a sociological method. That's
  162. 5:43why Durkheim's book is titled "The Rules
  163. 5:45of Sociological Method." So, how would
  164. 5:47we differentiate sociology from
  165. 5:49psychology, for example, right?
  166. 5:51Sociology works with the human being,
  167. 5:53which is a society; philosophy does too
  168. 5:55, history does too, biology works with
  169. 5:57the human being.
  170. 5:58What is the object of study of sociology
  171. 6:00?
  172. 6:01And so Durkheim, right, will develop his
  173. 6:03famous concept
  174. 6:06of social fact.
  175. 6:09The concept that Durkheim will establish
  176. 6:11for us here is this key concept called
  177. 6:13social fact.
  178. 6:15It is social; it is not an action of a
  179. 6:17specific individual, okay?
  180. 6:20Because it has to be something of
  181. 6:22society, an element of society that must
  182. 6:25be studied. It is not an individual
  183. 6:27action, it is not how an individual
  184. 6:28relates to such a thing, because that is
  185. 6:30psychology.
  186. 6:31And so the social fact has three
  187. 6:33characteristics.
  188. 6:35The social fact is coercive, exterior,
  189. 6:38and generalizable.
  190. 6:40It needs to fit into these three
  191. 6:41characteristics, otherwise it is not a
  192. 6:43social fact. Professor, what do you mean
  193. 6:44? Think about a marriage, for example.
  194. 6:46Marriage is a social fact. Marriage is
  195. 6:48coercive. There is an imposition, right
  196. 6:50? Girls, especially, reach a certain
  197. 6:51moment in life where they are told, "Oh
  198. 6:53, you have to get married." Why do they
  199. 6:54have to get married?
  200. 6:55It is coercive, it is exterior, meaning
  201. 6:58it already existed before the person was
  202. 7:00born.
  203. 7:01So, a girl born here in 20 th-century
  204. 7:04Brazil, this girl will suffer pressures
  205. 7:06from society to get married.
  206. 7:08This is a social fact.
  207. 7:10It is coercive, it is pressuring, it is
  208. 7:12exterior because it is external to the
  209. 7:14person, and it is general because it
  210. 7:16happens in society as a whole.
  211. 7:19And so Durkheim works with his various
  212. 7:21concepts, the various types of social
  213. 7:23facts that will exist, right?
  214. 7:26and he seeks to study these social facts
  215. 7:28that we have determined.
  216. 7:31Durkheim is also very well known for
  217. 7:34looking at society with a method, and
  218. 7:37for trying to explain to us the
  219. 7:39questions of why human beings live in
  220. 7:42society, why the human being lives in a
  221. 7:46group.
  222. 7:48And so he divides society, the history
  223. 7:51of humanity in general, into mechanical
  224. 7:54solidarity and organic solidarity.
  225. 7:58Mechanical solidarity would be that
  226. 8:00solidarity that goes up to the
  227. 8:01industrial revolution, where you have
  228. 8:03people who are all very similar within
  229. 8:05the group they live in, right?
  230. 8:08Take a group of French people who live
  231. 8:10in France, not obviously in France,
  232. 8:11right?
  233. 8:13I don't know, in Paris, in the 15th
  234. 8:15century, they will have very similar
  235. 8:16customs, very similar clothes, they will
  236. 8:18speak in a very similar way, right?
  237. 8:21Very similar habits, all among them.
  238. 8:23Therefore, the solidarity in these
  239. 8:25groups of traditional societies is
  240. 8:28because you see in the other your equal
  241. 8:30, and so you have a union established in
  242. 8:33this solidarity called mechanical
  243. 8:35solidarity. Law in mechanical solidarity
  244. 8:37is a repressive law.
  245. 8:39Get out of here because you are
  246. 8:40different, you are not part of our group
  247. 8:42, so get out of here, right?
  248. 8:44It is a society also marked by another
  249. 8:47Durkheim concept, a society marked by a
  250. 8:49strong collective conscience, okay?
  251. 8:52Organic solidarity is the solidarity of
  252. 8:55the capitalist world onwards, right?
  253. 8:58Why do people continue living together
  254. 9:00under capitalism?
  255. 9:02Because of the division of labor, the
  256. 9:04high specificity of the things that are
  257. 9:07done. So you don't produce everything
  258. 9:09you need to survive in your day-to-day
  259. 9:11life.
  260. 9:13Therefore, you depend on the other. So
  261. 9:15this dependence on the other, this
  262. 9:18division of functions and labor makes us
  263. 9:20live together. And since you depend on
  264. 9:23the work of others, the law is not
  265. 9:25repressive.
  266. 9:26The law is a law that will be
  267. 9:28restitutive.
  268. 9:30The person will be arrested, something
  269. 9:32like that, but then they will also
  270. 9:33return to society, right?
  271. 9:36Durkheim will also look at society and
  272. 9:38notice traits of societies where you
  273. 9:41have a stronger solidarity, right?
  274. 9:44And the famous case he studies related
  275. 9:46to suicide, right?
  276. 9:48with suicide being a social fact in the
  277. 9:50Durkheimian conception, right? And the
  278. 9:52concept of anomie, right? Anomie would
  279. 9:55be a society marked by a lack of norms,
  280. 9:58right? Or by norms that have been
  281. 10:00weakened.
  282. 10:01This would lead to social crisis. The
  283. 10:03person doesn't know the rules of the
  284. 10:05group they live in, of the society they
  285. 10:07are living in. And this society would
  286. 10:09enter into crisis, into shock, into
  287. 10:11decline, right? Therefore, for Durkheim
  288. 10:14, the social fact is the element of
  289. 10:15sociology we must observe.
  290. 10:17Now, for Max Weber, who writes later,
  291. 10:20right?
  292. 10:21Weber, he is an author, uh,
  293. 10:25the slide got cut off here, I just
  294. 10:27noticed, but that's no problem.
  295. 10:29Still among the classics here, Max Weber
  296. 10:31, Weber, he will look at society and
  297. 10:34define as the object of study of
  298. 10:36sociology, unlike Durkheim, he will
  299. 10:38determine what is called social action,
  300. 10:41right?
  301. 10:42Weber is known as the sociologist who
  302. 10:44studies what is called comprehensive
  303. 10:46sociology.
  304. 10:48Weber wants to look at society, people,
  305. 10:50with two very important and significant
  306. 10:53characteristics.
  307. 10:55Understand phenomena historically, okay
  308. 10:58?
  309. 11:00historically, therefore, and to look at
  310. 11:02society as a biologist looks through a
  311. 11:04microscope, is to analyze that specific
  312. 11:07point he is wanting to understand.
  313. 11:10That is why Weberian sociology is called
  314. 11:13comprehensive sociology, okay?
  315. 11:15Sociologists, in general up to Weber,
  316. 11:17Durkheim and Marx, for example, right?
  317. 11:20Marx wanted to study the whole, he
  318. 11:22wanted to study the capitalist system,
  319. 11:24how did it happen?
  320. 11:25But Weber, look at what Weber is going
  321. 11:27to do. Weber will say that human society
  322. 11:30will be divided as if it were a web
  323. 11:32process, right? So there are various
  324. 11:34parts here in this web, right?
  325. 11:37And then, for example, Marx would try to
  326. 11:39explain why this web exists in the way
  327. 11:41it does.
  328. 11:43And Weber no, Weber would look at a tiny
  329. 11:45part of this web and say: "I want to
  330. 11:47study this specific quadrant here, see?
  331. 11:50I want to know what this thing here is.
  332. 11:53I want to know why capitalism started in
  333. 11:55Western Europe, in protestant countries
  334. 11:58, and not in China, for example, right?
  335. 12:00That's the concept of causal imputation
  336. 12:02that Weber will establish for us.
  337. 12:06And then Weber establishes his so-called
  338. 12:09ideal types, okay?
  339. 12:12The Weberian ideal type is an
  340. 12:14intellectual tool, that is, a concept
  341. 12:17that is created to explain reality,
  342. 12:20knowing that this concept does not exist
  343. 12:23in society.
  344. 12:25It is a construction tool for us to be
  345. 12:28able to understand society. Ideal type
  346. 12:31is a concept to explain something.
  347. 12:34For example, the concept of mode of
  348. 12:36production, the concept of capitalism.
  349. 12:39These are concepts that we build to
  350. 12:41explain the world around us, okay?
  351. 12:44And then Weber works with his conception
  352. 12:47of social action, right? What is a
  353. 12:49social action? It is an action endowed
  354. 12:52with mutual meaning.
  355. 12:55It's the individual establishing the
  356. 12:57meaning or an action they are performing
  357. 12:59, hoping that a third party, right,
  358. 13:01another person, understands that
  359. 13:03action's meaning, okay?
  360. 13:06And
  361. 13:08this is established in various ways,
  362. 13:10right? Another important point of the
  363. 13:13Weberian sociology conception is the
  364. 13:16types of social actions.
  365. 13:19So, when you, for example, shake
  366. 13:21someone's hand here, is that universal?
  367. 13:23Not necessarily. When you give a thumbs
  368. 13:25up to someone here, what does it mean?
  369. 13:27Where did this idea come from, right?
  370. 13:30This is a social action, because when
  371. 13:31you do this, you expect the other person
  372. 13:33to understand that this means all good,
  373. 13:34everything's fine, all at peace, right?
  374. 13:37Or when you do the OK sign, it's a
  375. 13:39meaning the gesture will have.
  376. 13:42It is a gesture that you expect the
  377. 13:44individual receiving the message to be
  378. 13:47able to decode.
  379. 13:48Right?
  380. 13:50And in social groups, there are, right,
  381. 13:52types of social actions that will be
  382. 13:54exercised.
  383. 13:57There is a rational social action with
  384. 13:59respect to ends.
  385. 14:01For example, a rational social action
  386. 14:04with respect to ends is you studying for
  387. 14:07the entrance exam.
  388. 14:10You are taking an action that is social
  389. 14:12, because in the society you live in,
  390. 14:14there is something called studying,
  391. 14:16there is something called an entrance
  392. 14:17exam to access university. So it is a
  393. 14:20rational social action with respect to
  394. 14:24ends.
  395. 14:25You are acting, you are studying to get
  396. 14:28into university.
  397. 14:30There is a social action that can be a
  398. 14:33rational social action with respect to
  399. 14:35values.
  400. 14:38For example, when you go to a political
  401. 14:40demonstration for a certain candidate,
  402. 14:43you are taking a rational social action
  403. 14:45with respect to values, right?
  404. 14:49An affective social action, affective is
  405. 14:51not necessarily something good. An
  406. 14:53affective social action can be something
  407. 14:55related to the following issue.
  408. 14:58You applauding during a show is an
  409. 15:00affection you have, an emotion being
  410. 15:02manifested, but you learned to clap
  411. 15:04because it was socially established that
  412. 15:07clapping is something cool at that
  413. 15:09moment.
  414. 15:10When you make a face at a person because
  415. 15:12you want to say you're pissed off at
  416. 15:14them, that is a social action. You
  417. 15:16expect the other to understand the
  418. 15:18gesture you are making. Then there are
  419. 15:21traditional social actions as well,
  420. 15:24which are often related to religious or
  421. 15:27family issues, okay? According to the
  422. 15:30concept that Weber establishes for us.
  423. 15:32And Weber also establishes the concepts
  424. 15:35of types of domination, right?
  425. 15:38How does society live in an organized
  426. 15:41way? Then there are the types of
  427. 15:43traditional domination, right?
  428. 15:46When you have a religious leader, for
  429. 15:48instance, there's charismatic domination
  430. 15:50, where you have someone who speaks well
  431. 15:52, gives great speeches, and assumes
  432. 15:54power through their charisma.
  433. 15:57And there is also legal domination.
  434. 16:00The person in power, for example, a
  435. 16:02president who was democratically elected
  436. 16:04according to the rules of the game in
  437. 16:06that country, dominates legally because
  438. 16:08they were elected.
  439. 16:10Of course, these forms of domination can
  440. 16:13also be intrinsic, intersecting with one
  441. 16:15another, right? One present within the
  442. 16:17other as well.
  443. 16:19And Weber wants to understand the
  444. 16:21concept, right?
  445. 16:22Why capitalism developed in Europe, and
  446. 16:25he says it was due to the so-called
  447. 16:27capitalist spirit that derives from the
  448. 16:29Protestant ethic, that ethic from Calvin
  449. 16:31, right?
  450. 16:33The idea that accumulation, that work
  451. 16:36dignifies man, and that for you to
  452. 16:38perceive if you are heading toward your
  453. 16:42salvation in heaven, the way to find the
  454. 16:45sign God is giving you is if you prosper
  455. 16:48financially. If you prosper financially
  456. 16:50, you are going to heaven, and in this
  457. 16:52place, there is already a mentality of
  458. 16:54accumulation, and it's not about working
  459. 16:56and spending, it's about working and
  460. 16:58saving. Working and saving so you can
  461. 17:00prosper, okay?
  462. 17:03In these places that already had the
  463. 17:05mentality, the mindset, of working to
  464. 17:08save money and prosper, machinery
  465. 17:10emerged, a bourgeoisie emerged, a
  466. 17:12centralized state emerged, and all this
  467. 17:15, plus this spirit of capitalism—not in
  468. 17:17the religious sense, right?
  469. 17:20It would be a capitalist mentality. That
  470. 17:23is why capitalism emerged in those
  471. 17:25regions. All good? The third important
  472. 17:27thinker we have among the classics,
  473. 17:29folks, is Marx, right? Marx, as you know
  474. 17:32very well, is a great analyst of
  475. 17:33capitalism, right? His greatest work is
  476. 17:36" Capital, "which he wouldn't finish
  477. 17:38writing because he ended up passing away
  478. 17:40, right?
  479. 17:41And so Marx analyzes capitalism in the
  480. 17:43context of the Second Industrial
  481. 17:45Revolution; he looks at that society and
  482. 17:48wants to understand why society is so
  483. 17:50unequal, the origins of that inequality
  484. 17:52, and what makes that inequality
  485. 17:54continue to exist, right?
  486. 17:57Hence that famous Marx quote that the
  487. 17:59history of humanity is the history of
  488. 18:01class struggle, right?
  489. 18:05The existence of classes causes
  490. 18:07inequality to exist.
  491. 18:10And what makes classes exist?
  492. 18:13The existence of something called
  493. 18:14private ownership of the means of
  494. 18:16production.
  495. 18:19Private ownership of the means of
  496. 18:21production allows one person to
  497. 18:23accumulate much by exploiting another
  498. 18:25person's labor. That is Marx's
  499. 18:27perspective, right?
  500. 18:29And so, in capitalism, if the means of
  501. 18:31production are private, you will have
  502. 18:33two main social groups.
  503. 18:35On one side, the bourgeois, who is the
  504. 18:37one that owns the means of production,
  505. 18:39and on the other side, the proletarian.
  506. 18:41The proletarian does not own the means
  507. 18:43of production; he does not own the
  508. 18:45factory, he does not own the estate, he
  509. 18:47owns only one thing. And this one thing
  510. 18:50that he has, he must sell to survive in
  511. 18:52capitalism. The name of this is labor
  512. 18:55power.
  513. 18:56Therefore, he has to sell his labor
  514. 18:58power to the factory owner so that he
  515. 18:59can survive.
  516. 19:01And this class struggle, therefore, for
  517. 19:04Marx is the engine of history, right?
  518. 19:07A mechanism that will make the bourgeois
  519. 19:09profit and develop, and capitalism
  520. 19:11develop in the sense of accumulating
  521. 19:13more and more, not of improvement, right
  522. 19:15? One thing, one thing, another thing,
  523. 19:17another thing. It is the concept of
  524. 19:18surplus value.
  525. 19:20Surplus value is the profit that comes
  526. 19:22from unpaid labor, right?
  527. 19:24Surplus value is the difference where,
  528. 19:27for example, a worker who is in the
  529. 19:30factory working 8 hours, his daily wage
  530. 19:33, along with all taxes and raw materials
  531. 19:36, is paid with about 1 hour of his labor
  532. 19:39.
  533. 19:41These 7 remaining hours, this work that
  534. 19:43the proletariat is doing in the factory
  535. 19:45for those 7 hours, will be accumulated
  536. 19:48by whom?
  537. 19:50By the factory owner, who will take this
  538. 19:52money and reinvest it to produce more,
  539. 19:54to accumulate more.
  540. 19:57And this only happens because surplus
  541. 19:59value exists. This is Marx's central
  542. 20:01concept, right? Many Marxist thinkers
  543. 20:03will determine that the most important,
  544. 20:05determining concept of Marx is the
  545. 20:07concept of surplus value, right? It is
  546. 20:10the exploitation of one by the other in
  547. 20:12the conception and in Marxist theory,
  548. 20:13correct?
  549. 20:16And so, for that worker to accept the
  550. 20:17employment conditions given to him,
  551. 20:19right, there are two important issues.
  552. 20:21The first of them is unemployment.
  553. 20:24There will always be unemployment,
  554. 20:25because if everyone were working, you
  555. 20:27would have to value the worker, you
  556. 20:28would have to give more money to the
  557. 20:30worker; labor becomes more expensive
  558. 20:31because it becomes scarce, right?
  559. 20:34So, unemployment will always exist. And
  560. 20:36for this worker to accept the working
  561. 20:38conditions they are living in, they have
  562. 20:40to convince themselves that they can buy
  563. 20:42other things.
  564. 20:44Right?
  565. 20:45This alienation is the worker living in
  566. 20:47a capitalist context, who wants to work
  567. 20:50so they can buy other things that are
  568. 20:53being produced by other proletarians in
  569. 20:56other bourgeois factories. And this is
  570. 20:58what keeps capitalism turning, okay?
  571. 21:01And they are also alienated from what
  572. 21:03they produce themselves, right?
  573. 21:05Alienate—what is an" alien, "anyway? An
  574. 21:07alien is something that comes from the
  575. 21:08outside. Therefore, to alienate is to
  576. 21:10take away from you. Alienation is the
  577. 21:12person who works on the assembly line,
  578. 21:15making a car all day long, and that is
  579. 21:17taken away from them. The production
  580. 21:19doesn't stay with them in the end, and
  581. 21:21often they won't even be able to buy a
  582. 21:22car like that by the end of their own
  583. 21:23life, right?
  584. 21:25It is the concept of alienation that
  585. 21:26Marx develops for us. Along with the
  586. 21:28concept of ideology, as well, right?
  587. 21:31Marx determines that the dominant
  588. 21:33ideology of an era is the ideology of
  589. 21:36the ruling class of that era, right?
  590. 21:39Marx is the guy who wants to develop an
  591. 21:42analysis of society through the economy
  592. 21:44and determinations based on the
  593. 21:46relations of production, right?
  594. 21:48His method of analysis is what we call
  595. 21:50historical and dialectical materialism,
  596. 21:52right?
  597. 21:54He inverts the Hegelian perspective,
  598. 21:56arguing that we actually have an
  599. 21:58infrastructure that determines the
  600. 21:59superstructure, meaning the material
  601. 22:01issues of reality determine the ideas
  602. 22:03that dominate that reality, which feed
  603. 22:05back into the productive forces.
  604. 22:08Hence the dialectic. All good? I hit my
  605. 22:11microphone here. So let's do a little
  606. 22:13question about this. A question there
  607. 22:14from the 2021 ENEM, okay?
  608. 22:16At the same time, thanks to the ample
  609. 22:18opportunities I had to observe the
  610. 22:20middle class—this is Engels speaking,
  611. 22:22Marx’s partner, right?
  612. 22:24Your adversary—in other words, the
  613. 22:26middle class is someone's adversary.
  614. 22:28Whose? The middle class is the adversary
  615. 22:29of the proletarian. I quickly concluded
  616. 22:32that you are right, entirely right, in
  617. 22:34not expecting any help from them. Don't
  618. 22:36expect help from the bourgeois. That is
  619. 22:37what Engels is saying. Their interests
  620. 22:40are diametrically opposed to yours.
  621. 22:42Diametrically opposed, right? You have a
  622. 22:44circle there; the radius is this, the
  623. 22:46diameter is what is over there. So,
  624. 22:47therefore, you are here, and being
  625. 22:49diametrically opposed is being the
  626. 22:50person who is the total opposite of you
  627. 22:52, right?
  628. 22:53Even if it incessantly seeks to stir up
  629. 22:55contention and wants to persuade you
  630. 22:58that it feels the greatest sympathy for
  631. 23:01your fate, its actions belie its words.
  632. 23:04No matter how much the bourgeois says:"
  633. 23:05No, calm down, we'll give you something
  634. 23:06nice here. "The truth is they won't.
  635. 23:08That is what Engel is talking about in
  636. 23:10the text; the author presents ethical
  637. 23:12outlines that correspond to the concept
  638. 23:14of class struggle. Right? The bourgeois
  639. 23:17versus the proletariat. Foundation of
  640. 23:19the idea of surplus value. That is not,
  641. 23:21that is not the foundation of the idea
  642. 23:23of surplus value. It has nothing to do
  643. 23:24with that. Fundamentals of the
  644. 23:26scientific method. The author does not
  645. 23:28present this in the text in any way. He
  646. 23:31is not talking about the scientific
  647. 23:32method. Paradigms of the inquiry process
  648. 23:34. I don't even know what that is.
  649. 23:36Domains of commodity fetishism. Another
  650. 23:38Marxist concept, but one not present in
  651. 23:40the text, so forget about it.
  652. 23:42Got it?
  653. 23:45Advancing a little in sociology, we have
  654. 23:49the so-called Frankfurt School, right,
  655. 23:52and the concepts of the theory called
  656. 23:56critical theory, right, within the
  657. 24:00thinkers of critical theory and the
  658. 24:03Frankfurt School, what is going to
  659. 24:07happen?
  660. 24:09Critical theory is the following: there
  661. 24:11is traditional theory and there is the
  662. 24:13theory that is critical, an heir,
  663. 24:14evidently, to Marx's thought.
  664. 24:18Traditional theory is, as Marx already
  665. 24:21said, philosophy interpreting the world
  666. 24:24, okay?
  667. 24:25Therefore, traditional theory is, for
  668. 24:27example, Weber: what is the origin of
  669. 24:29inequality? It's this. Great, finished.
  670. 24:32Critical theory is: what is the origin
  671. 24:34of inequality? It's this one here. So,
  672. 24:36now that we know, we are going to act to
  673. 24:38prevent this inequality from continuing
  674. 24:40to exist.
  675. 24:42Imagine that traditional theory would be
  676. 24:44a photographer taking a picture of a
  677. 24:45starving child.
  678. 24:47Took the picture of the child, wow, the
  679. 24:49child was starving. See you later, big
  680. 24:51hug. That is traditional theory.
  681. 24:53Critical theory is:" My God, a child is
  682. 24:55starving. I recorded it, understood the
  683. 24:57reasons, and now I'm going to give that
  684. 24:59child food. "That is the difference
  685. 25:01between traditional theory and the
  686. 25:03theory that is critical, right?
  687. 25:06Because it will lead to transformation,
  688. 25:08very much based on Marx's thought, but
  689. 25:10of course, with many differences that
  690. 25:12will also exist here, okay?
  691. 25:15The two central, important authors of
  692. 25:17the Frankfurt School are Theodor Adorno
  693. 25:19and Max Horkheimer, okay? Adorno and
  694. 25:22Horkheimer, they will create the concept
  695. 25:24of the culture industry.
  696. 25:26What is the concept of the culture
  697. 25:28industry? It's just that in capitalism,
  698. 25:31everything turns into a commodity,
  699. 25:33including culture itself, right?
  700. 25:37Walter Benjamin is also a great, very
  701. 25:39important author and one of the most
  702. 25:40wonderful guys in the history of thought
  703. 25:42, isn't he?
  704. 25:43At some point in your life, read
  705. 25:45Benjamin, and you won't regret it.
  706. 25:47They will be the critics of culture
  707. 25:49under capitalism.
  708. 25:51Why?
  709. 25:53Because look, with the development of
  710. 25:55productive forces, of machines, right,
  711. 25:57and later of more advanced technologies
  712. 25:59,
  713. 26:01they will think the following:" Hey, you
  714. 26:04know, Walter Benjamin, for example,
  715. 26:06wouldn't this be interesting?
  716. 26:10Because now you can, for example,
  717. 26:12consume high-quality art by having it
  718. 26:15printed. So you'll print the Mona Lisa
  719. 26:17and there it will be; you'll be able to
  720. 26:18appreciate the work of art that is the
  721. 26:19Mona Lisa. How cool is that?
  722. 26:21But is this Mona Lisa you printed on
  723. 26:23your printer and stuck on your wall the
  724. 26:25same Mona Lisa that's there in the
  725. 26:27Louvre?
  726. 26:28What differentiates one from the other?
  727. 26:29Benjamin will say it's the aura.
  728. 26:33The aura, that spirit that surrounds the
  729. 26:36true Mona Lisa.
  730. 26:38Therefore, while Benjamin will say that
  731. 26:41the popularization of the work of art is
  732. 26:43important, it is also not the same work
  733. 26:45of art in itself. Something is lost, but
  734. 26:47it's important because it becomes
  735. 26:48popularized.
  736. 26:50Now, Adorno and Horkheimer will say: "
  737. 26:51Look, what's happening is the following
  738. 26:53." Up until then, culture had the
  739. 26:55function of provoking you.
  740. 26:58Culture was made so that people would
  741. 27:01look at it and feel strange, look at it
  742. 27:03and emerge from it as someone new, moved
  743. 27:05, shocked by it, thinking about
  744. 27:07something they had never thought about
  745. 27:09before, and from that, thinking
  746. 27:10something new.
  747. 27:13Culture within capitalism simply becomes
  748. 27:16a commodity.
  749. 27:19And for it to become a commodity, it
  750. 27:20needs to be a consumable product.
  751. 27:23For it to be consumable, it cannot be
  752. 27:25something different from the others; it
  753. 27:26has to be standardized.
  754. 27:29Culture in capitalism is standardized.
  755. 27:32Culture, therefore, does not have the
  756. 27:34intention of making you think critically
  757. 27:36.
  758. 27:37Culture in capitalism has the function
  759. 27:39of anesthetizing you, of producing for
  760. 27:42you the consecration of the already
  761. 27:44consecrated.
  762. 27:45Whatever has already worked, you will do
  763. 27:47once, twice, three, four, five,
  764. 27:48twenty-five, three hundred times.
  765. 27:51Culture, therefore, should not make you
  766. 27:53someone who looks at society and becomes
  767. 27:56a new person.
  768. 27:58It is for you to continue being who you
  769. 28:00are, without producing anything new.
  770. 28:04In other words, the consumption of
  771. 28:06artwork, film, literature, music, is not
  772. 28:09meant to transform you, but to alienate
  773. 28:11you.
  774. 28:13It is meant to make you not notice the
  775. 28:16inequalities, so you don't perceive life
  776. 28:19as it really is.
  777. 28:20You remain sedated within established
  778. 28:22cultural standards that don't want you
  779. 28:24to reflect and don't want you to think
  780. 28:27about the reality in which you are
  781. 28:29inserted.
  782. 28:30It is, therefore, a culture of
  783. 28:32consumption that aims for conformism.
  784. 28:36You will want that thing, and this
  785. 28:38culture is a culture that will be
  786. 28:40maximized by the owners of the very
  787. 28:41modes of production.
  788. 28:44So, culture in capitalism serves to
  789. 28:46promote the ideology of capitalism.
  790. 28:50The ideology of meritocracy, the
  791. 28:52ideologies that justify, therefore, the
  792. 28:54existence of those very inequalities,
  793. 28:56okay?
  794. 28:59And so he writes his very famous text,
  795. 29:00The Culture Industry, important terms
  796. 29:02related to the culture industry, right?
  797. 29:06Consecration of the consecrated and the
  798. 29:08massification of culture.
  799. 29:11To massify is the opposite of to
  800. 29:13democratize.
  801. 29:15To democratize is to allow people to
  802. 29:17have the means to understand works of
  803. 29:19art, thought, and reflection, right?
  804. 29:22For example, instead, so imagine, so
  805. 29:25imagine that we have here at the top a
  806. 29:28wonderful author who would be Machado de
  807. 29:31Assis, right?
  808. 29:33Machado de Assis, the best, very
  809. 29:36difficult, right?
  810. 29:38So, for you to reach Machado de Assis is
  811. 29:39difficult; you have to go through
  812. 29:41several steps to then get there and be
  813. 29:42able to understand Machado.
  814. 29:45But this takes time, this demands a lot
  815. 29:47, it's hard, right?
  816. 29:49People will have difficulty
  817. 29:50understanding it. Therefore, instead of
  818. 29:52getting the person to that level, you
  819. 29:54don't do that, no. You make something
  820. 29:55shallower, superficial, simpler.
  821. 29:58Then the person consumes it, likes it,
  822. 30:00and will buy another that is just like
  823. 30:01the first one. And then you will be
  824. 30:03selling. If you make the person buy
  825. 30:05Machado de Assis, it will take them a
  826. 30:06long time to buy something else.
  827. 30:08They will come out different, they will
  828. 30:09be able to criticize the very society
  829. 30:10they want. So no, let's not make people
  830. 30:12understand Machado de Assis; on the
  831. 30:14contrary, let's make them hate Machado
  832. 30:16de Assis. Yeah, school has a role in
  833. 30:18this, actually, right? Most people who
  834. 30:20want to, I, for example, didn't read
  835. 30:21Machado de Assis in high school, only
  836. 30:22read him later, right?
  837. 30:24All good? Let's do a little question
  838. 30:25about this.
  839. 30:27Entertainment, look how interesting, is
  840. 30:29the prolongation of work under late
  841. 30:31capitalism.
  842. 30:34It is sought by those who want to escape
  843. 30:35the mechanized labor process to put
  844. 30:37themselves back in a condition to face
  845. 30:38it. What does he mean by that?
  846. 30:41That your post-work entertainment would
  847. 30:44be as follows: you would leave work, go
  848. 30:47home, have some fun, get distracted,
  849. 30:49relax, and rest so that the next day you
  850. 30:52could face your mechanized job again.
  851. 30:55But look, at the same time,
  852. 30:57mechanization has achieved such power
  853. 31:00over people in their leisure and their
  854. 31:02happiness.
  855. 31:04It determines the manufacturing of goods
  856. 31:05destined for entertainment so deeply
  857. 31:07that a person can no longer perceive
  858. 31:09anything other than copies that
  859. 31:10reproduce the work process itself.
  860. 31:14So you no longer have something that is
  861. 31:16meant to distract you, to produce
  862. 31:17something new for you, to be something
  863. 31:19fun.
  864. 31:21It is something that does not make you
  865. 31:23think and that is produced on an
  866. 31:24assembly line in the same way as the
  867. 31:26product the person was making at the
  868. 31:28factory where they worked before going
  869. 31:29home.
  870. 31:31It is the next movie that is just like
  871. 31:33the previous one. It is the next song
  872. 31:34that is just like the last one, right?
  873. 31:38Oh, the Titãs song talks about this.
  874. 31:41The best song of the latest, the new
  875. 31:43times of the last, last week, right?
  876. 31:47In the text, free time is conceived as
  877. 31:49the consumption of cultural products
  878. 31:51developed within the same capitalist
  879. 31:52production system. That's it.
  880. 31:55Art shouldn't worry about sales, right?
  881. 31:59There is a quote from a singer I adore,
  882. 32:01Noel Gallagher, who talks exactly about
  883. 32:03this.
  884. 32:07Society did not want the Beatles.
  885. 32:09Society did not want Jimi Hendrix; they
  886. 32:11didn't know who he was.
  887. 32:14If society, if we, if art is produced to
  888. 32:17please the consumer, new things do not
  889. 32:19emerge.
  890. 32:21That is why not much new stuff comes out
  891. 32:22these days, with exceptions, good things
  892. 32:24that exist out there, which I also like
  893. 32:26, you know, so I don't sound like an old
  894. 32:28grumpy man, right? But Noel G will say,
  895. 32:30society didn't want Jimi Hendrix, he
  896. 32:32went there and did it and became the
  897. 32:34greatest guitarist of all time because
  898. 32:36he didn't want to please anyone. The
  899. 32:39cultural producer doesn't have to worry
  900. 32:40simply about pleasing others, otherwise
  901. 32:42they won't produce culture, they won't
  902. 32:43produce anything new, right? Otherwise,
  903. 32:45they will always produce the same thing
  904. 32:48, right? That's why the correct
  905. 32:50alternative here would be letter A.
  906. 32:51Let's move on right away so we can
  907. 32:53finish this. Beautiful people. Here,
  908. 32:55power and education are important
  909. 32:57concepts for your ENEM exam.
  910. 33:00And these authors we have here, Pierre
  911. 33:02Bourdieu and Michel Foucault, both
  912. 33:05French, are seminal for us to understand
  913. 33:0820 th-century thought, right? They are
  914. 33:11very important authors, truly very
  915. 33:13important, okay?
  916. 33:15For many, Foucault is the greatest
  917. 33:18intellectual of the 20th century because
  918. 33:20of what he produced, because of the
  919. 33:22concepts he developed and applied in his
  920. 33:24analyses, right?
  921. 33:27Foucault, Foucault, who was the son of
  922. 33:30doctors, grandson of doctors, and went
  923. 33:32off to study philosophy.
  924. 33:35He must have been the pride of his
  925. 33:37parents at the Sunday barbecue, right?
  926. 33:39Without a doubt. Bourdieu is also a
  927. 33:42thinker in philosophy and sociology that
  928. 33:44we will understand next. Well, Pierre
  929. 33:47Bourdieu takes Marx's concepts, right,
  930. 33:50where Marx's concept worked with the
  931. 33:52issue of capital as financial
  932. 33:55accumulation, right? And that this
  933. 33:57financial accumulation, this economic
  934. 34:00accumulation, was a promoter of
  935. 34:03inequalities. So, whoever has more money
  936. 34:05ensures that the other doesn't have it,
  937. 34:07therefore, inequality lies in
  938. 34:08accumulated capital.
  939. 34:10He also says that there isn't just
  940. 34:12financial capital, but that there is
  941. 34:14also what would be cultural capital, and
  942. 34:16that this cultural capital—and later
  943. 34:19social capital—are also capitals that
  944. 34:21perpetuate and maintain the existence of
  945. 34:23inequality.
  946. 34:25Cultural capital is a person who is
  947. 34:27wealthy, right, from an upper-class
  948. 34:29family, where this person studies in the
  949. 34:32best schools, has access to the best
  950. 34:35teachers, has access to the best books,
  951. 34:37and the best habits, accepted by that
  952. 34:40society as the best habits, right?
  953. 34:43Uh, and that, therefore, they already
  954. 34:45possess this capital that has been
  955. 34:47accumulated by their family's
  956. 34:48generations.
  957. 34:50So, at breakfast, at lunch, people
  958. 34:52discuss great works of literature, great
  959. 34:54philosophical concepts.
  960. 34:56This is cultural capital that has been
  961. 34:57accumulated, right?
  962. 34:59Uh, and this is an advantage for the
  963. 35:01person to enter adulthood already with
  964. 35:03this accumulated capital, and they will
  965. 35:06produce more capital that will be left
  966. 35:08accumulated for the next children who
  967. 35:10come along. Want a silly example? I, for
  968. 35:12example, I was raised by my grandmother
  969. 35:14.
  970. 35:15My grandmother didn't have books at home
  971. 35:17. I do, right?
  972. 35:18Right here to the side is my library,
  973. 35:19which I won't show because it might
  974. 35:20crash my computer. Here I have my little
  975. 35:22books right here.
  976. 35:24From here on out, suppose I have a child
  977. 35:25and they enter the picture too. We will
  978. 35:27talk about these things here. So he will
  979. 35:29be accumulating the knowledge I acquired
  980. 35:31from the books I read, and he will be
  981. 35:33accumulating that, he will read, then he
  982. 35:34will buy his own, and he will keep on
  983. 35:36accumulating. Then my grandson will have
  984. 35:38my son's cultural capital and my own,
  985. 35:41and so it goes.
  986. 35:42And this will allow this person to enter
  987. 35:45the capitalist world with better
  988. 35:48resources, not just financial ones,
  989. 35:50right? That is a problem with the
  990. 35:52Brazilian elite nowadays, isn't it? The
  991. 35:53Brazilian elite that doesn't have good
  992. 35:54cultural habits, right? But that is a
  993. 35:56conversation for another time. So
  994. 35:57cultural capital, right, is directly
  995. 36:00linked to this question of family origin
  996. 36:03.
  997. 36:04Elite schools, for example, you have
  998. 36:05universities that you know very well,
  999. 36:07Insper, for example, where you have an
  1000. 36:09international relations course where the
  1001. 36:10guy will pay the price of medical school
  1002. 36:12, he will pay 14, 15 thousand reais.
  1003. 36:16It's not just about the tuition or the
  1004. 36:18facility's structure, but that he will
  1005. 36:20be socializing with the Brazilian high
  1006. 36:22society.
  1007. 36:25And then this guy will make his, right,
  1008. 36:27his connections, so later in life, when
  1009. 36:29he goes to work or inherits the family
  1010. 36:31fortune, he will already have good
  1011. 36:33relationships that will ensure he stays
  1012. 36:35rich and often gets even richer, right?
  1013. 36:39Bourdieu also talks about issues
  1014. 36:41referring to symbolic violence, right?
  1015. 36:45A very famous text of his is called "
  1016. 36:47Masculine Domination," in which the
  1017. 36:49domination established by gender issues
  1018. 36:51is not, it is also constructed through
  1019. 36:54language, right?
  1020. 36:56Where speech, the construction of issues
  1021. 36:59attributed to men as always something
  1022. 37:02advantageous, something good, and what
  1023. 37:05is attributed to women as something bad
  1024. 37:08, as something pejorative, as something
  1025. 37:11inferior, right?
  1026. 37:13So, the man's value is strength, the
  1027. 37:15woman's value is weakness, the man's
  1028. 37:17value is reason, the woman's value is
  1029. 37:20sentiment, right?
  1030. 37:22And that is why women are very
  1031. 37:23sentimental, so they don't have the
  1032. 37:25capacity to manage a company.
  1033. 37:28She is too sentimental. Exactly, right?
  1034. 37:29To manage a company, a woman can't, but
  1035. 37:31to be the head of the majority of
  1036. 37:32families in Brazil, which are, you know
  1037. 37:34, single-mother families, then it's fine
  1038. 37:35, right? So, these concepts are
  1039. 37:37important for us to think about, okay?
  1040. 37:41Michel Foucault is the great theorist
  1041. 37:43regarding discourse, right, about
  1042. 37:45disciplinary power.
  1043. 37:47Where does this disciplinary power come
  1044. 37:49from? It comes from the scientific
  1045. 37:51discourses produced throughout history.
  1046. 37:54So, those who produce knowledge have the
  1047. 37:56power.
  1048. 37:58Power is not something that just belongs
  1049. 37:59to those who have knowledge. They
  1050. 38:00produce knowledge and they exercise
  1051. 38:02power. Power is established within
  1052. 38:04relationships, right?
  1053. 38:06Foucault breaks with that Marxist vision
  1054. 38:08of just class struggle, oppressors
  1055. 38:10versus oppressed.
  1056. 38:11That exists, but power also exists in
  1057. 38:14other issues as well. Power is exercised
  1058. 38:16in the small relationships of daily life
  1059. 38:19, right?
  1060. 38:21And these power relations happen in
  1061. 38:23specific environments that will have
  1062. 38:25specific discourses for that environment
  1063. 38:27, which will determine acceptable and
  1064. 38:30unacceptable behaviors, and will
  1065. 38:32determine which bodies are accepted and
  1066. 38:34which are not.
  1067. 38:37And it will seek, therefore, to
  1068. 38:39standardize bodily or behavioral
  1069. 38:41elements as well, right?
  1070. 38:44For a long time, people worked with the
  1071. 38:46idea that there were people who were
  1072. 38:47insane. What is a madman? Madness
  1073. 38:49doesn't exist, right? What exists is a
  1074. 38:51person with some biochemical disorder in
  1075. 38:53the brain. And that's it.
  1076. 38:56When do psychiatric institutions arise,
  1077. 38:58for example?
  1078. 39:00When people had some issue and were no
  1079. 39:02longer useful to capitalism.
  1080. 39:06So, this person who wasn't useful to
  1081. 39:07capitalism is removed from society and
  1082. 39:09thrown into a closed place so we don't
  1083. 39:10have to have contact with them, right?
  1084. 39:12That’s when psychiatric institutions
  1085. 39:15emerge, right? Prisons, right?
  1086. 39:17Regarding psychiatric hospitals,
  1087. 39:19Foucault will be a great scholar of
  1088. 39:21these issues in psychiatry too, right?
  1089. 39:24Inheriting his family's medical
  1090. 39:27traditions.
  1091. 39:30The leper is seen within a practice of
  1092. 39:32rejection, of exile, of fencing off.
  1093. 39:34They are left to get lost inside, like a
  1094. 39:36mass where there is no real importance
  1095. 39:38in differentiating.
  1096. 39:41The plague-stricken are considered under
  1097. 39:43a meticulous tactical policing, where
  1098. 39:46individual differentiations are the
  1099. 39:48limiting effects of a power that
  1100. 39:50multiplies, articulates, and subdivides
  1101. 39:52.
  1102. 39:54The great enclosure on one hand, the
  1103. 39:55fine training on the other.
  1104. 39:57Leprosy and its division, the plague and
  1105. 40:00its records.
  1106. 40:01One is marked, the other analyzed and
  1107. 40:03partitioned.
  1108. 40:05The leper’s exile and the plague’s
  1109. 40:06imprisonment do not carry the same
  1110. 40:08political dream.
  1111. 40:10The authoritarian models described in
  1112. 40:12the text point to a control system based
  1113. 40:14on the formation of disciplinary society
  1114. 40:16.
  1115. 40:18Yes, the disciplinary society will be
  1116. 40:19marked by someone who determines the
  1117. 40:21rules that you must follow.
  1118. 40:23Discipline is external, okay?
  1119. 40:26Different from what will happen later
  1120. 40:27with Zygmunt Bauman and Byung-Chul Han
  1121. 40:29at the end of our class, which we will
  1122. 40:30work on soon.
  1123. 40:32Got it? Let's move on.
  1124. 40:34Folks, elements of culture and identity
  1125. 40:36are very important for the Enem exam,
  1126. 40:38right?
  1127. 40:39Be very, very, very careful with this
  1128. 40:42concept called ethnocentrism, okay?
  1129. 40:46Ethnocentrism is our habit, as
  1130. 40:47individuals, of measuring the world by
  1131. 40:49our own ruler, right?
  1132. 40:52So, it's looking at someone else's
  1133. 40:54culture that is different from yours and
  1134. 40:55judging that culture as if it were wrong
  1135. 40:57and your culture were the right one,
  1136. 40:58okay?
  1137. 41:01For example, when I'm teaching students
  1138. 41:04from Tocantins or people from the North
  1139. 41:06, or if you're in the north of Brazil,
  1140. 41:08açaí is consumed with fish, right?
  1141. 41:12>> Açaí is consumed in a different way.
  1142. 41:15Here we consume açaí with granola,
  1143. 41:18condensed milk, powdered milk, anyway,
  1144. 41:21who's right? Us, right?
  1145. 41:23Obviously, but this conception that is
  1146. 41:25being brought up is looking at the world
  1147. 41:27wanting to judge it with your own values
  1148. 41:29as being definitively correct.
  1149. 41:31Therefore, the ethnocentric perspective
  1150. 41:34is a prejudiced perspective of believing
  1151. 41:37that your culture is the standard.
  1152. 41:42And what happens, therefore, is that
  1153. 41:44cultural anthropology shows us there is
  1154. 41:46no better or worse culture.
  1155. 41:49What exists are cultures that are
  1156. 41:51different.
  1157. 41:53Each culture has its own logic.
  1158. 41:55This discourse that there is a right
  1159. 41:58culture and a wrong culture served only
  1160. 42:01one purpose: for Europeans to enslave
  1161. 42:03Africans, to invade Africa and say, "
  1162. 42:06Look, you Black African, you are
  1163. 42:08incapable of reaching my level of
  1164. 42:10culture.
  1165. 42:13Therefore, I must enslave you, dominate
  1166. 42:14what you have there and extract it,
  1167. 42:15because, you know, it's a moral duty I
  1168. 42:17have. I didn't want to."
  1169. 42:20Ethnocentrism is this general
  1170. 42:21perspective of your culture as the
  1171. 42:23standard; when it's the European, it's
  1172. 42:25Eurocentrism, right?
  1173. 42:27Just change the prefix to swap it out.
  1174. 42:30And so, cultural relativism within
  1175. 42:32anthropology shows us that, in reality,
  1176. 42:34every civilization has its own specific
  1177. 42:36culture and logic, right?
  1178. 42:38That everything is historically
  1179. 42:40constructed, everything is socially
  1180. 42:42constructed, nothing is naturalized,
  1181. 42:43right?
  1182. 42:45And therefore, even gender issues
  1183. 42:47themselves, with important authors who
  1184. 42:49address this, such as Simone de Beauvoir
  1185. 42:52, and Judith Butler more recently as
  1186. 42:54well, right?
  1187. 42:57Another important point we have to
  1188. 42:58consider regarding culture is how
  1189. 43:00culture shapes people's identity and a
  1190. 43:02tradition, right, of a people.
  1191. 43:05And so, for this identity to be
  1192. 43:08maintained and perpetuated, it is
  1193. 43:10necessary to have access to this culture
  1194. 43:13and these cultural productions, which
  1195. 43:16are types of heritage that are tangible
  1196. 43:19and heritage that would be intangible.
  1197. 43:23Whenever something appears talking about
  1198. 43:25heritage, it will be talking about the
  1199. 43:27preservation of identity. If it
  1200. 43:29mentioned memory, it will be talking
  1201. 43:30about heritage preservation, because you
  1202. 43:32have to preserve the identity of a group
  1203. 43:33. Trust me, okay?
  1204. 43:36And then elements related to hybridism,
  1205. 43:38to the mixing of cultures, right?
  1206. 43:40Understand that there is no such thing
  1207. 43:41as a pure culture. Every culture is a
  1208. 43:43mixture of other cultures.
  1209. 43:47This part about culture, the part about
  1210. 43:48culture that the Enem exam will require
  1211. 43:50of you is: don't be prejudiced, get it?
  1212. 43:52Understand that everyone produces
  1213. 43:54culture. You might not like it and might
  1214. 43:56not agree with it, but it's culture,
  1215. 43:58okay?
  1216. 44:00So, uh, we move on to the questions that
  1217. 44:02will appear every year that you take it
  1218. 44:04, you'll have a question about this here
  1219. 44:07, about work, about the world of work,
  1220. 44:09the perspectives regarding work, right?
  1221. 44:13So, there was a type of work in the 19th
  1222. 44:15century called Taylorism, leading into
  1223. 44:17the 20th, where the stopwatch starts to
  1224. 44:20be used; Taylor will divide production
  1225. 44:22and time this production to try to save
  1226. 44:25as much time as possible, right? Because
  1227. 44:27time is money.
  1228. 44:29Then Ford goes to a Taylor factory to
  1229. 44:31understand it. Interesting. Oh, cool,
  1230. 44:33right? So you divided the production,
  1231. 44:35one guy stays here, another guy stays
  1232. 44:37here, one guy here, another guy here. So
  1233. 44:39this guy takes his product here, the
  1234. 44:40other guy takes the product here,
  1235. 44:41another guy takes it here, and this one
  1236. 44:43packs it. Cool.
  1237. 44:45But then when this guy is coming back
  1238. 44:47here and this guy is coming back here
  1239. 44:48and this guy is coming back here, during
  1240. 44:49this return you aren't making money,
  1241. 44:50right?
  1242. 44:53Which means, therefore, that you don't
  1243. 44:55need to—you have to find a way to make,
  1244. 44:57uh, what is being produced, right?
  1245. 45:00The product should go by itself from one
  1246. 45:01place to another. So what does Ford do?
  1247. 45:04He puts in the assembly line, puts a
  1248. 45:06conveyor belt to carry the product to
  1249. 45:07the next employee.
  1250. 45:10And so within Fordism, it's not just the
  1251. 45:11issue of how it's produced, which is
  1252. 45:13what's important for our sociology test
  1253. 45:14, right?
  1254. 45:16It's for us to understand that, uh,
  1255. 45:22the discipline that exists within a
  1256. 45:24Fordist and Toyotist environment is a
  1257. 45:26rigid discipline.
  1258. 45:28Discipline is promoted from the outside
  1259. 45:30, it is external, therefore, right?
  1260. 45:34You already have the beginning of some
  1261. 45:36labor laws in place, okay?
  1262. 45:38You have a rigidity of work, right? In
  1263. 45:41Fordism, you are going to be doing that
  1264. 45:42same thing for your whole life, right?
  1265. 45:45You already have the achievement of
  1266. 45:47labor rights in Fordism and Toyotism,
  1267. 45:50right?
  1268. 45:51So, the worker will have their rights
  1269. 45:53within the factory where they will be
  1270. 45:55working.
  1271. 45:56In Brazil, for example, Vargas creates
  1272. 45:59labor laws during his constitutional
  1273. 46:01government from '34 to '37.
  1274. 46:04Then he goes on to establish the CLT
  1275. 46:06during the Estado Novo.
  1276. 46:09So you have workers having security,
  1277. 46:11stability within the company where they
  1278. 46:13were working, as long as they kept doing
  1279. 46:16the same thing with quality.
  1280. 46:19Today we live in a world that is
  1281. 46:21different from that.
  1282. 46:23We live in a world marked by the
  1283. 46:25outsourcing of labor, a world marked
  1284. 46:27increasingly by the precariousness of
  1285. 46:29work relations, by "uberization," right
  1286. 46:31?
  1287. 46:33In which you don't have labor bonds, a
  1288. 46:35reduction of these bonds, right?
  1289. 46:37A characteristic, therefore, of
  1290. 46:39neoliberalism, right?
  1291. 46:41Selling you the idea that you are the
  1292. 46:43owner of yourself, a self-made man, you
  1293. 46:45are an entrepreneur of yourself, you are
  1294. 46:46an entrepreneur, right?
  1295. 46:48Nothing against that, okay? My wife is
  1296. 46:50an entrepreneur, I am an entrepreneur,
  1297. 46:51everyone has to fight for their own.
  1298. 46:54What we are bringing up here is how this
  1299. 46:56"uberization" of labor also promotes
  1300. 46:58precariousness in terms of security,
  1301. 47:01okay?
  1302. 47:02Then there is the cartoon, right?
  1303. 47:05"Ah, entrepreneurs, don't you sleep
  1304. 47:07better knowing that you are your own
  1305. 47:10boss?" Then the guy says: "I don't sleep
  1306. 47:12."
  1307. 47:13Meaning, therefore, that he is there
  1308. 47:15setting his own hours, doing the things
  1309. 47:16he needs to do, but he is in a rush, and
  1310. 47:18if he doesn't go after his own, he won't
  1311. 47:20get anything.
  1312. 47:21So, the contemporary world of work is a
  1313. 47:23world marked by the flexibilization of
  1314. 47:26labor.
  1315. 47:26One day you are working, the next you
  1316. 47:29are not necessarily.
  1317. 47:31Platformization, everything requested by
  1318. 47:33cell phone on a platform; soon schools
  1319. 47:34will be asking for teachers, "Oh,
  1320. 47:36tomorrow I need a philosophy teacher,"
  1321. 47:38you open it up and the guy goes to work
  1322. 47:39, right?
  1323. 47:41So, the contemporary world is a world in
  1324. 47:44which labor relations are liquid, right
  1325. 47:46?
  1326. 47:47For us to borrow an expression from
  1327. 47:49Zygmunt Bauman, even.
  1328. 47:52Behind the magic of Google Assistant, of
  1329. 47:54its ability to interpret 26 languages,
  1330. 47:57is an enormous team of linguists
  1331. 47:59distributed globally, working as
  1332. 48:02subcontractors, who must tediously label
  1333. 48:04the training data for it to work.
  1334. 48:08They earn low wages and are routinely
  1335. 48:10forced to work unpaid overtime.
  1336. 48:13Artificial intelligence doesn't run on
  1337. 48:17magic dust.
  1338. 48:19It runs through workers who tirelessly
  1339. 48:21train algorithms until they automate
  1340. 48:24their own jobs.
  1341. 48:27You know that CAPTCHA thing, right?
  1342. 48:29When you try to log into a site and it
  1343. 48:31asks you to spot the bicycles.
  1344. 48:34That’s you training an AI, isn't it? So
  1345. 48:36the AI can see and identify them. You
  1346. 48:38know that, right?
  1347. 48:40The text critiques technological change
  1348. 48:42due to the following consequence:
  1349. 48:44diversification of roles. The guy is
  1350. 48:46leaving one role and going to another.
  1351. 48:48No. Population mobility. What do you
  1352. 48:50mean by mobility? People moving from one
  1353. 48:51place to another. Employee autonomy.
  1354. 48:55The employee is autonomous. If they are
  1355. 48:57an autonomous employee, then why aren't
  1356. 48:59they being paid for what they do, right
  1357. 49:01?
  1358. 49:02Concentration of production, no.
  1359. 49:04Invisibility of the professional?
  1360. 49:06Yes, because you think it's a Google
  1361. 49:08algorithm producing that for you, when
  1362. 49:10in fact it's a person doing it elsewhere
  1363. 49:11, okay?
  1364. 49:13Does everyone understand? This is very
  1365. 49:15simple, right?
  1366. 49:17Questions about structure, racial
  1367. 49:18stratification, there are different
  1368. 49:20types of social levels, there are caste
  1369. 49:22societies, estate societies, and class
  1370. 49:24societies, right?
  1371. 49:26Class societies are more marked by
  1372. 49:28issues of social mobility, which are
  1373. 49:30important. An important theme for the
  1374. 49:32ENEM exam, structural racism.
  1375. 49:34Understanding that racism in Brazil,
  1376. 49:36right, according to this perspective, is
  1377. 49:39established in the structures that keep
  1378. 49:41Brazil running, okay?
  1379. 49:44In Brazilian sociology, a very important
  1380. 49:46topic for the ENEM exam is the critique
  1381. 49:49made by Florestan Fernandes of the
  1382. 49:51concept of racial democracy established
  1383. 49:53by Gilberto Freyre, that Brazil is the
  1384. 49:55result of a harmonious mix of three
  1385. 49:57races, when in fact it is the result of
  1386. 50:00much violence, especially, right?
  1387. 50:03The gender issue, I already mentioned a
  1388. 50:05little bit when we talked about the
  1389. 50:06budget. Here is a question about power
  1390. 50:08and citizenship, folks.
  1391. 50:11Power and citizenship has T.H. Marshall
  1392. 50:12as its main author, who is this guy here
  1393. 50:14, and José Murilo de Carvalho in Brazil
  1394. 50:16, okay?
  1395. 50:17Marshall says there are three types of
  1396. 50:19rights, right, which are civil,
  1397. 50:21political, and social rights.
  1398. 50:24Civil rights were won, for example,
  1399. 50:26during the English revolution, right,
  1400. 50:29where people are now citizens.
  1401. 50:32So you have civil rights, meaning you
  1402. 50:33will answer in court or be able to sue
  1403. 50:35someone in court like anyone else.
  1404. 50:37Everyone is equal before the law.
  1405. 50:39Political rights, being able to
  1406. 50:41participate in politics, okay?
  1407. 50:43And social rights, you having access to
  1408. 50:45school, access to healthcare, to public
  1409. 50:47transport, right?
  1410. 50:50And so José Murilo de Carvalho analyzes
  1411. 50:51Marshall and brings that to the order in
  1412. 50:53Brazil, where in fact we have social
  1413. 50:54rights first.
  1414. 50:56The people worry first about social
  1415. 50:58rights, then about political rights, and
  1416. 51:00perhaps civil rights.
  1417. 51:02We have already spoken about social
  1418. 51:03movements when we discussed other issues
  1419. 51:04, and we will finish here by talking a
  1420. 51:06bit about the world in globalization.
  1421. 51:08The world of globalization is marked by
  1422. 51:10the flexibilization of work
  1423. 51:11relationships.
  1424. 51:14It is marked, evidently, by increased
  1425. 51:16urbanization, right, by the problems
  1426. 51:18derived from urbanization.
  1427. 51:22And this globalized, urbanized, "
  1428. 51:24uberized" world is a world where social
  1429. 51:26media takes over everything, right?
  1430. 51:29Where social media is a new drug
  1431. 51:31consumed by the population, right?
  1432. 51:35And on social media, you have a network
  1433. 51:37that is supposed to be, in theory,
  1434. 51:38social; but it becomes a network that is
  1435. 51:41more individual than social, because
  1436. 51:42you’re just being, uh, narcissistic,
  1437. 51:45right, only seeing yourself, only your
  1438. 51:47own behavior, only the position you
  1439. 51:48defend yourself, right?
  1440. 51:50Therefore, you have people living in
  1441. 51:52bubbles, right? A suggestion I always
  1442. 51:54give to students: follow people you
  1443. 51:56disagree with. If you are on the right,
  1444. 51:57follow the guys on the left. If you are
  1445. 51:59on the left, follow the guys on the
  1446. 52:00right.
  1447. 52:01Because in society, in the real world,
  1448. 52:03that’s not how it works. And so, what
  1449. 52:05happens? Social media produces an
  1450. 52:07activism that, in the external reality
  1451. 52:10we see here, isn't how things work. But
  1452. 52:12then you have physical conflict
  1453. 52:14happening often because of someone who
  1454. 52:16got used to living on social media, okay
  1455. 52:18?
  1456. 52:19All these concepts are very important
  1457. 52:21and also explained by Zygmunt Bauman,
  1458. 52:23right? Bauman, who says we live in a
  1459. 52:25modernity that is no longer solid. The
  1460. 52:27guy who worked in a, I don't know, the
  1461. 52:30guy from the 40s, 50s, his life was
  1462. 52:32solid.
  1463. 52:33He knew he would have a job, that he
  1464. 52:35would go to college, that he would get
  1465. 52:37married, have a kid, buy a house, a car
  1466. 52:39, a country house, buy a beach house.
  1467. 52:42And he did all of that.
  1468. 52:43Nowadays, no. Nowadays you don't even
  1469. 52:45know if the job you'll graduate from
  1470. 52:47college for will exist, will be
  1471. 52:48functioning in the coming years, right?
  1472. 52:50It is precisely about this that in the
  1473. 52:52year 2026 these demonstrations happened
  1474. 52:54here. These demonstrations are happening
  1475. 52:56in France, right, in the fight for
  1476. 52:58social rights.
  1477. 52:59One would understand that rights are the
  1478. 53:01result of the organization of social
  1479. 53:03movements, right?
  1480. 53:05And for Bauman, bonds are fragile bonds
  1481. 53:07, different from those bonds of a more
  1482. 53:09traditional company, okay? Byung-Chul
  1483. 53:12Han, the last author we have, defines
  1484. 53:14the concepts of the society of fatigue,
  1485. 53:16right?
  1486. 53:17where you pressure yourself, there is no
  1487. 53:19longer a discipline coming from the
  1488. 53:21outside; it is you who looks inward and
  1489. 53:23sees yourself as someone who cannot do
  1490. 53:25the things you should be doing.
  1491. 53:26Therefore, you are the failure because
  1492. 53:28you knew everything you should have been
  1493. 53:29doing. And so you have people suffering
  1494. 53:31from burnout in a general way.
  1495. 53:34Got it?
  1496. 53:36According to Bauman, what is the
  1497. 53:37function of utopia in the context of
  1498. 53:39social transformations? To enable
  1499. 53:41affective memories? To point out
  1500. 53:43possible alternatives? Yes, that is the
  1501. 53:45possible alternative for Bauman here.
  1502. 53:48And my people, we finish our class here
  1503. 53:50. I went two minutes over, sorry, but I
  1504. 53:53think it was of great value to you,
