- 2:00to sign up, and stay tuned for the class
- 2:02with everything on sociology for the
- 2:04Enem exam with our Protocolo Enem
- 2:05teacher, Professor Juliano.
- 2:07>> Hey everyone, how are you all doing?
- 2:10It's me, Professor Juliano. You already
- 2:12know the drill.
- 2:15We are here today for our sociology
- 2:17session to cover, everyone, the entirety
- 2:20of sociology for the Enem, everything
- 2:22you can imagine there, the subjects that
- 2:25have been most addressed in recent years
- 2:27, all of sociology for the Enem in 50
- 2:30minutes.
- 2:32Therefore, folks, we cannot waste time
- 2:35because we will see, evidently, the most
- 2:37important concepts, the authors, the
- 2:39keywords that we need to be alert to in
- 2:42order to analyze the alternatives and
- 2:44mark the correct answer, right?
- 2:48And besides that, also do some questions
- 2:49there, which are some important
- 2:50questions that we need to go through.
- 2:53Got it? Let's go, people.
- 2:56The first point here is to understand
- 2:59that we have the discipline of sociology
- 3:01in the Enem, right, its branches from
- 3:04within, right, from social sciences
- 3:06themselves, political science,
- 3:08anthropology.
- 3:12Eh, and one of the most important
- 3:14references we have is this one by
- 3:16Anthony Giddens and Philip Sutton, who
- 3:18are renowned sociologists, right?
- 3:22And, sort of like, they...imagine that
- 3:24you have the most, one of the top
- 3:26sociologists that exist in the world;
- 3:28it's the guy who will create the
- 3:29sociology didactic material for us to
- 3:31work with. That's it, okay? That is why
- 3:34, even sometimes, entrance exams, when
- 3:36they are going to indicate a sociology
- 3:38reference, they indicate this one, okay
- 3:40? Why? Because it is the most complete.
- 3:42It will cover the main themes. And so I
- 3:44put it on the cover there to make sense
- 3:46, right? And what do we have for
- 3:47sociology in the Enem? Even Giddens
- 3:49himself has appeared in some exam
- 3:51questions eh in recent years too.
- 3:54Sociology in the Enem, folks, I have
- 3:56divided it for you here into five axes,
- 3:58let's say, right?
- 4:00A first axis in which we will see the
- 4:02classics of sociology.
- 4:04That group you study from the beginning
- 4:05, when you start studying sociology, you
- 4:07go through them, right? Durkheim, Weber
- 4:09, and Marx. Right? The most important
- 4:12themes treated within those authors, how
- 4:14they appear, right? And then we will do
- 4:16a little question there about Marx.
- 4:19Eh, we will talk then about culture,
- 4:21about ethnocentrism and diversity, how
- 4:23these things operate, about some authors
- 4:25who treat these themes, right?
- 4:29Work, the perspectives regarding work,
- 4:32work, the work relations that were one
- 4:34way, became another, and today work
- 4:37existing in a very specific form in the
- 4:39contemporary world that we are living in
- 4:42, okay?
- 4:45We will also, of course, talk about
- 4:47issues of social inequality, racial
- 4:49inequality, and gender issues that the
- 4:51Enem exam has also been addressing in
- 4:53recent times, is that clear?
- 4:57We will also talk about political issues
- 4:59, right, about citizenship, about social
- 5:01movements, and about several other
- 5:03topics that we will see throughout our
- 5:04class today.
- 5:06All good, everyone?
- 5:07The first thinker we will deal with here
- 5:10, then, is Durkheim, who is considered
- 5:12the first sociology professor at a
- 5:14university, right?
- 5:16And Durkheim, Weber, and Marx, the first
- 5:19three authors we have here from
- 5:21classical sociology, especially Durkheim
- 5:23and Weber, they have a common
- 5:25characteristic, which is seeking to
- 5:27define sociology as a discipline.
- 5:29Like, what is sociology? These guys are
- 5:31creating sociology, right?
- 5:33Heirs to the thought of Auguste Comte,
- 5:35as you know very well, but here they
- 5:37want, therefore, remember what they need
- 5:39to do?
- 5:40Durkheim and Weber are going to seek to
- 5:42develop a sociological method. That's
- 5:43why Durkheim's book is titled "The Rules
- 5:45of Sociological Method." So, how would
- 5:47we differentiate sociology from
- 5:49psychology, for example, right?
- 5:51Sociology works with the human being,
- 5:53which is a society; philosophy does too
- 5:55, history does too, biology works with
- 5:57the human being.
- 5:58What is the object of study of sociology
- 6:00?
- 6:01And so Durkheim, right, will develop his
- 6:03famous concept
- 6:06of social fact.
- 6:09The concept that Durkheim will establish
- 6:11for us here is this key concept called
- 6:13social fact.
- 6:15It is social; it is not an action of a
- 6:17specific individual, okay?
- 6:20Because it has to be something of
- 6:22society, an element of society that must
- 6:25be studied. It is not an individual
- 6:27action, it is not how an individual
- 6:28relates to such a thing, because that is
- 6:30psychology.
- 6:31And so the social fact has three
- 6:33characteristics.
- 6:35The social fact is coercive, exterior,
- 6:38and generalizable.
- 6:40It needs to fit into these three
- 6:41characteristics, otherwise it is not a
- 6:43social fact. Professor, what do you mean
- 6:44? Think about a marriage, for example.
- 6:46Marriage is a social fact. Marriage is
- 6:48coercive. There is an imposition, right
- 6:50? Girls, especially, reach a certain
- 6:51moment in life where they are told, "Oh
- 6:53, you have to get married." Why do they
- 6:54have to get married?
- 6:55It is coercive, it is exterior, meaning
- 6:58it already existed before the person was
- 7:00born.
- 7:01So, a girl born here in 20 th-century
- 7:04Brazil, this girl will suffer pressures
- 7:06from society to get married.
- 7:08This is a social fact.
- 7:10It is coercive, it is pressuring, it is
- 7:12exterior because it is external to the
- 7:14person, and it is general because it
- 7:16happens in society as a whole.
- 7:19And so Durkheim works with his various
- 7:21concepts, the various types of social
- 7:23facts that will exist, right?
- 7:26and he seeks to study these social facts
- 7:28that we have determined.
- 7:31Durkheim is also very well known for
- 7:34looking at society with a method, and
- 7:37for trying to explain to us the
- 7:39questions of why human beings live in
- 7:42society, why the human being lives in a
- 7:46group.
- 7:48And so he divides society, the history
- 7:51of humanity in general, into mechanical
- 7:54solidarity and organic solidarity.
- 7:58Mechanical solidarity would be that
- 8:00solidarity that goes up to the
- 8:01industrial revolution, where you have
- 8:03people who are all very similar within
- 8:05the group they live in, right?
- 8:08Take a group of French people who live
- 8:10in France, not obviously in France,
- 8:11right?
- 8:13I don't know, in Paris, in the 15th
- 8:15century, they will have very similar
- 8:16customs, very similar clothes, they will
- 8:18speak in a very similar way, right?
- 8:21Very similar habits, all among them.
- 8:23Therefore, the solidarity in these
- 8:25groups of traditional societies is
- 8:28because you see in the other your equal
- 8:30, and so you have a union established in
- 8:33this solidarity called mechanical
- 8:35solidarity. Law in mechanical solidarity
- 8:37is a repressive law.
- 8:39Get out of here because you are
- 8:40different, you are not part of our group
- 8:42, so get out of here, right?
- 8:44It is a society also marked by another
- 8:47Durkheim concept, a society marked by a
- 8:49strong collective conscience, okay?
- 8:52Organic solidarity is the solidarity of
- 8:55the capitalist world onwards, right?
- 8:58Why do people continue living together
- 9:00under capitalism?
- 9:02Because of the division of labor, the
- 9:04high specificity of the things that are
- 9:07done. So you don't produce everything
- 9:09you need to survive in your day-to-day
- 9:11life.
- 9:13Therefore, you depend on the other. So
- 9:15this dependence on the other, this
- 9:18division of functions and labor makes us
- 9:20live together. And since you depend on
- 9:23the work of others, the law is not
- 9:25repressive.
- 9:26The law is a law that will be
- 9:28restitutive.
- 9:30The person will be arrested, something
- 9:32like that, but then they will also
- 9:33return to society, right?
- 9:36Durkheim will also look at society and
- 9:38notice traits of societies where you
- 9:41have a stronger solidarity, right?
- 9:44And the famous case he studies related
- 9:46to suicide, right?
- 9:48with suicide being a social fact in the
- 9:50Durkheimian conception, right? And the
- 9:52concept of anomie, right? Anomie would
- 9:55be a society marked by a lack of norms,
- 9:58right? Or by norms that have been
- 10:00weakened.
- 10:01This would lead to social crisis. The
- 10:03person doesn't know the rules of the
- 10:05group they live in, of the society they
- 10:07are living in. And this society would
- 10:09enter into crisis, into shock, into
- 10:11decline, right? Therefore, for Durkheim
- 10:14, the social fact is the element of
- 10:15sociology we must observe.
- 10:17Now, for Max Weber, who writes later,
- 10:20right?
- 10:21Weber, he is an author, uh,
- 10:25the slide got cut off here, I just
- 10:27noticed, but that's no problem.
- 10:29Still among the classics here, Max Weber
- 10:31, Weber, he will look at society and
- 10:34define as the object of study of
- 10:36sociology, unlike Durkheim, he will
- 10:38determine what is called social action,
- 10:41right?
- 10:42Weber is known as the sociologist who
- 10:44studies what is called comprehensive
- 10:46sociology.
- 10:48Weber wants to look at society, people,
- 10:50with two very important and significant
- 10:53characteristics.
- 10:55Understand phenomena historically, okay
- 10:58?
- 11:00historically, therefore, and to look at
- 11:02society as a biologist looks through a
- 11:04microscope, is to analyze that specific
- 11:07point he is wanting to understand.
- 11:10That is why Weberian sociology is called
- 11:13comprehensive sociology, okay?
- 11:15Sociologists, in general up to Weber,
- 11:17Durkheim and Marx, for example, right?
- 11:20Marx wanted to study the whole, he
- 11:22wanted to study the capitalist system,
- 11:24how did it happen?
- 11:25But Weber, look at what Weber is going
- 11:27to do. Weber will say that human society
- 11:30will be divided as if it were a web
- 11:32process, right? So there are various
- 11:34parts here in this web, right?
- 11:37And then, for example, Marx would try to
- 11:39explain why this web exists in the way
- 11:41it does.
- 11:43And Weber no, Weber would look at a tiny
- 11:45part of this web and say: "I want to
- 11:47study this specific quadrant here, see?
- 11:50I want to know what this thing here is.
- 11:53I want to know why capitalism started in
- 11:55Western Europe, in protestant countries
- 11:58, and not in China, for example, right?
- 12:00That's the concept of causal imputation
- 12:02that Weber will establish for us.
- 12:06And then Weber establishes his so-called
- 12:09ideal types, okay?
- 12:12The Weberian ideal type is an
- 12:14intellectual tool, that is, a concept
- 12:17that is created to explain reality,
- 12:20knowing that this concept does not exist
- 12:23in society.
- 12:25It is a construction tool for us to be
- 12:28able to understand society. Ideal type
- 12:31is a concept to explain something.
- 12:34For example, the concept of mode of
- 12:36production, the concept of capitalism.
- 12:39These are concepts that we build to
- 12:41explain the world around us, okay?
- 12:44And then Weber works with his conception
- 12:47of social action, right? What is a
- 12:49social action? It is an action endowed
- 12:52with mutual meaning.
- 12:55It's the individual establishing the
- 12:57meaning or an action they are performing
- 12:59, hoping that a third party, right,
- 13:01another person, understands that
- 13:03action's meaning, okay?
- 13:06And
- 13:08this is established in various ways,
- 13:10right? Another important point of the
- 13:13Weberian sociology conception is the
- 13:16types of social actions.
- 13:19So, when you, for example, shake
- 13:21someone's hand here, is that universal?
- 13:23Not necessarily. When you give a thumbs
- 13:25up to someone here, what does it mean?
- 13:27Where did this idea come from, right?
- 13:30This is a social action, because when
- 13:31you do this, you expect the other person
- 13:33to understand that this means all good,
- 13:34everything's fine, all at peace, right?
- 13:37Or when you do the OK sign, it's a
- 13:39meaning the gesture will have.
- 13:42It is a gesture that you expect the
- 13:44individual receiving the message to be
- 13:47able to decode.
- 13:48Right?
- 13:50And in social groups, there are, right,
- 13:52types of social actions that will be
- 13:54exercised.
- 13:57There is a rational social action with
- 13:59respect to ends.
- 14:01For example, a rational social action
- 14:04with respect to ends is you studying for
- 14:07the entrance exam.
- 14:10You are taking an action that is social
- 14:12, because in the society you live in,
- 14:14there is something called studying,
- 14:16there is something called an entrance
- 14:17exam to access university. So it is a
- 14:20rational social action with respect to
- 14:24ends.
- 14:25You are acting, you are studying to get
- 14:28into university.
- 14:30There is a social action that can be a
- 14:33rational social action with respect to
- 14:35values.
- 14:38For example, when you go to a political
- 14:40demonstration for a certain candidate,
- 14:43you are taking a rational social action
- 14:45with respect to values, right?
- 14:49An affective social action, affective is
- 14:51not necessarily something good. An
- 14:53affective social action can be something
- 14:55related to the following issue.
- 14:58You applauding during a show is an
- 15:00affection you have, an emotion being
- 15:02manifested, but you learned to clap
- 15:04because it was socially established that
- 15:07clapping is something cool at that
- 15:09moment.
- 15:10When you make a face at a person because
- 15:12you want to say you're pissed off at
- 15:14them, that is a social action. You
- 15:16expect the other to understand the
- 15:18gesture you are making. Then there are
- 15:21traditional social actions as well,
- 15:24which are often related to religious or
- 15:27family issues, okay? According to the
- 15:30concept that Weber establishes for us.
- 15:32And Weber also establishes the concepts
- 15:35of types of domination, right?
- 15:38How does society live in an organized
- 15:41way? Then there are the types of
- 15:43traditional domination, right?
- 15:46When you have a religious leader, for
- 15:48instance, there's charismatic domination
- 15:50, where you have someone who speaks well
- 15:52, gives great speeches, and assumes
- 15:54power through their charisma.
- 15:57And there is also legal domination.
- 16:00The person in power, for example, a
- 16:02president who was democratically elected
- 16:04according to the rules of the game in
- 16:06that country, dominates legally because
- 16:08they were elected.
- 16:10Of course, these forms of domination can
- 16:13also be intrinsic, intersecting with one
- 16:15another, right? One present within the
- 16:17other as well.
- 16:19And Weber wants to understand the
- 16:21concept, right?
- 16:22Why capitalism developed in Europe, and
- 16:25he says it was due to the so-called
- 16:27capitalist spirit that derives from the
- 16:29Protestant ethic, that ethic from Calvin
- 16:31, right?
- 16:33The idea that accumulation, that work
- 16:36dignifies man, and that for you to
- 16:38perceive if you are heading toward your
- 16:42salvation in heaven, the way to find the
- 16:45sign God is giving you is if you prosper
- 16:48financially. If you prosper financially
- 16:50, you are going to heaven, and in this
- 16:52place, there is already a mentality of
- 16:54accumulation, and it's not about working
- 16:56and spending, it's about working and
- 16:58saving. Working and saving so you can
- 17:00prosper, okay?
- 17:03In these places that already had the
- 17:05mentality, the mindset, of working to
- 17:08save money and prosper, machinery
- 17:10emerged, a bourgeoisie emerged, a
- 17:12centralized state emerged, and all this
- 17:15, plus this spirit of capitalism—not in
- 17:17the religious sense, right?
- 17:20It would be a capitalist mentality. That
- 17:23is why capitalism emerged in those
- 17:25regions. All good? The third important
- 17:27thinker we have among the classics,
- 17:29folks, is Marx, right? Marx, as you know
- 17:32very well, is a great analyst of
- 17:33capitalism, right? His greatest work is
- 17:36" Capital, "which he wouldn't finish
- 17:38writing because he ended up passing away
- 17:40, right?
- 17:41And so Marx analyzes capitalism in the
- 17:43context of the Second Industrial
- 17:45Revolution; he looks at that society and
- 17:48wants to understand why society is so
- 17:50unequal, the origins of that inequality
- 17:52, and what makes that inequality
- 17:54continue to exist, right?
- 17:57Hence that famous Marx quote that the
- 17:59history of humanity is the history of
- 18:01class struggle, right?
- 18:05The existence of classes causes
- 18:07inequality to exist.
- 18:10And what makes classes exist?
- 18:13The existence of something called
- 18:14private ownership of the means of
- 18:16production.
- 18:19Private ownership of the means of
- 18:21production allows one person to
- 18:23accumulate much by exploiting another
- 18:25person's labor. That is Marx's
- 18:27perspective, right?
- 18:29And so, in capitalism, if the means of
- 18:31production are private, you will have
- 18:33two main social groups.
- 18:35On one side, the bourgeois, who is the
- 18:37one that owns the means of production,
- 18:39and on the other side, the proletarian.
- 18:41The proletarian does not own the means
- 18:43of production; he does not own the
- 18:45factory, he does not own the estate, he
- 18:47owns only one thing. And this one thing
- 18:50that he has, he must sell to survive in
- 18:52capitalism. The name of this is labor
- 18:55power.
- 18:56Therefore, he has to sell his labor
- 18:58power to the factory owner so that he
- 18:59can survive.
- 19:01And this class struggle, therefore, for
- 19:04Marx is the engine of history, right?
- 19:07A mechanism that will make the bourgeois
- 19:09profit and develop, and capitalism
- 19:11develop in the sense of accumulating
- 19:13more and more, not of improvement, right
- 19:15? One thing, one thing, another thing,
- 19:17another thing. It is the concept of
- 19:18surplus value.
- 19:20Surplus value is the profit that comes
- 19:22from unpaid labor, right?
- 19:24Surplus value is the difference where,
- 19:27for example, a worker who is in the
- 19:30factory working 8 hours, his daily wage
- 19:33, along with all taxes and raw materials
- 19:36, is paid with about 1 hour of his labor
- 19:39.
- 19:41These 7 remaining hours, this work that
- 19:43the proletariat is doing in the factory
- 19:45for those 7 hours, will be accumulated
- 19:48by whom?
- 19:50By the factory owner, who will take this
- 19:52money and reinvest it to produce more,
- 19:54to accumulate more.
- 19:57And this only happens because surplus
- 19:59value exists. This is Marx's central
- 20:01concept, right? Many Marxist thinkers
- 20:03will determine that the most important,
- 20:05determining concept of Marx is the
- 20:07concept of surplus value, right? It is
- 20:10the exploitation of one by the other in
- 20:12the conception and in Marxist theory,
- 20:13correct?
- 20:16And so, for that worker to accept the
- 20:17employment conditions given to him,
- 20:19right, there are two important issues.
- 20:21The first of them is unemployment.
- 20:24There will always be unemployment,
- 20:25because if everyone were working, you
- 20:27would have to value the worker, you
- 20:28would have to give more money to the
- 20:30worker; labor becomes more expensive
- 20:31because it becomes scarce, right?
- 20:34So, unemployment will always exist. And
- 20:36for this worker to accept the working
- 20:38conditions they are living in, they have
- 20:40to convince themselves that they can buy
- 20:42other things.
- 20:44Right?
- 20:45This alienation is the worker living in
- 20:47a capitalist context, who wants to work
- 20:50so they can buy other things that are
- 20:53being produced by other proletarians in
- 20:56other bourgeois factories. And this is
- 20:58what keeps capitalism turning, okay?
- 21:01And they are also alienated from what
- 21:03they produce themselves, right?
- 21:05Alienate—what is an" alien, "anyway? An
- 21:07alien is something that comes from the
- 21:08outside. Therefore, to alienate is to
- 21:10take away from you. Alienation is the
- 21:12person who works on the assembly line,
- 21:15making a car all day long, and that is
- 21:17taken away from them. The production
- 21:19doesn't stay with them in the end, and
- 21:21often they won't even be able to buy a
- 21:22car like that by the end of their own
- 21:23life, right?
- 21:25It is the concept of alienation that
- 21:26Marx develops for us. Along with the
- 21:28concept of ideology, as well, right?
- 21:31Marx determines that the dominant
- 21:33ideology of an era is the ideology of
- 21:36the ruling class of that era, right?
- 21:39Marx is the guy who wants to develop an
- 21:42analysis of society through the economy
- 21:44and determinations based on the
- 21:46relations of production, right?
- 21:48His method of analysis is what we call
- 21:50historical and dialectical materialism,
- 21:52right?
- 21:54He inverts the Hegelian perspective,
- 21:56arguing that we actually have an
- 21:58infrastructure that determines the
- 21:59superstructure, meaning the material
- 22:01issues of reality determine the ideas
- 22:03that dominate that reality, which feed
- 22:05back into the productive forces.
- 22:08Hence the dialectic. All good? I hit my
- 22:11microphone here. So let's do a little
- 22:13question about this. A question there
- 22:14from the 2021 ENEM, okay?
- 22:16At the same time, thanks to the ample
- 22:18opportunities I had to observe the
- 22:20middle class—this is Engels speaking,
- 22:22Marx’s partner, right?
- 22:24Your adversary—in other words, the
- 22:26middle class is someone's adversary.
- 22:28Whose? The middle class is the adversary
- 22:29of the proletarian. I quickly concluded
- 22:32that you are right, entirely right, in
- 22:34not expecting any help from them. Don't
- 22:36expect help from the bourgeois. That is
- 22:37what Engels is saying. Their interests
- 22:40are diametrically opposed to yours.
- 22:42Diametrically opposed, right? You have a
- 22:44circle there; the radius is this, the
- 22:46diameter is what is over there. So,
- 22:47therefore, you are here, and being
- 22:49diametrically opposed is being the
- 22:50person who is the total opposite of you
- 22:52, right?
- 22:53Even if it incessantly seeks to stir up
- 22:55contention and wants to persuade you
- 22:58that it feels the greatest sympathy for
- 23:01your fate, its actions belie its words.
- 23:04No matter how much the bourgeois says:"
- 23:05No, calm down, we'll give you something
- 23:06nice here. "The truth is they won't.
- 23:08That is what Engel is talking about in
- 23:10the text; the author presents ethical
- 23:12outlines that correspond to the concept
- 23:14of class struggle. Right? The bourgeois
- 23:17versus the proletariat. Foundation of
- 23:19the idea of surplus value. That is not,
- 23:21that is not the foundation of the idea
- 23:23of surplus value. It has nothing to do
- 23:24with that. Fundamentals of the
- 23:26scientific method. The author does not
- 23:28present this in the text in any way. He
- 23:31is not talking about the scientific
- 23:32method. Paradigms of the inquiry process
- 23:34. I don't even know what that is.
- 23:36Domains of commodity fetishism. Another
- 23:38Marxist concept, but one not present in
- 23:40the text, so forget about it.
- 23:42Got it?
- 23:45Advancing a little in sociology, we have
- 23:49the so-called Frankfurt School, right,
- 23:52and the concepts of the theory called
- 23:56critical theory, right, within the
- 24:00thinkers of critical theory and the
- 24:03Frankfurt School, what is going to
- 24:07happen?
- 24:09Critical theory is the following: there
- 24:11is traditional theory and there is the
- 24:13theory that is critical, an heir,
- 24:14evidently, to Marx's thought.
- 24:18Traditional theory is, as Marx already
- 24:21said, philosophy interpreting the world
- 24:24, okay?
- 24:25Therefore, traditional theory is, for
- 24:27example, Weber: what is the origin of
- 24:29inequality? It's this. Great, finished.
- 24:32Critical theory is: what is the origin
- 24:34of inequality? It's this one here. So,
- 24:36now that we know, we are going to act to
- 24:38prevent this inequality from continuing
- 24:40to exist.
- 24:42Imagine that traditional theory would be
- 24:44a photographer taking a picture of a
- 24:45starving child.
- 24:47Took the picture of the child, wow, the
- 24:49child was starving. See you later, big
- 24:51hug. That is traditional theory.
- 24:53Critical theory is:" My God, a child is
- 24:55starving. I recorded it, understood the
- 24:57reasons, and now I'm going to give that
- 24:59child food. "That is the difference
- 25:01between traditional theory and the
- 25:03theory that is critical, right?
- 25:06Because it will lead to transformation,
- 25:08very much based on Marx's thought, but
- 25:10of course, with many differences that
- 25:12will also exist here, okay?
- 25:15The two central, important authors of
- 25:17the Frankfurt School are Theodor Adorno
- 25:19and Max Horkheimer, okay? Adorno and
- 25:22Horkheimer, they will create the concept
- 25:24of the culture industry.
- 25:26What is the concept of the culture
- 25:28industry? It's just that in capitalism,
- 25:31everything turns into a commodity,
- 25:33including culture itself, right?
- 25:37Walter Benjamin is also a great, very
- 25:39important author and one of the most
- 25:40wonderful guys in the history of thought
- 25:42, isn't he?
- 25:43At some point in your life, read
- 25:45Benjamin, and you won't regret it.
- 25:47They will be the critics of culture
- 25:49under capitalism.
- 25:51Why?
- 25:53Because look, with the development of
- 25:55productive forces, of machines, right,
- 25:57and later of more advanced technologies
- 25:59,
- 26:01they will think the following:" Hey, you
- 26:04know, Walter Benjamin, for example,
- 26:06wouldn't this be interesting?
- 26:10Because now you can, for example,
- 26:12consume high-quality art by having it
- 26:15printed. So you'll print the Mona Lisa
- 26:17and there it will be; you'll be able to
- 26:18appreciate the work of art that is the
- 26:19Mona Lisa. How cool is that?
- 26:21But is this Mona Lisa you printed on
- 26:23your printer and stuck on your wall the
- 26:25same Mona Lisa that's there in the
- 26:27Louvre?
- 26:28What differentiates one from the other?
- 26:29Benjamin will say it's the aura.
- 26:33The aura, that spirit that surrounds the
- 26:36true Mona Lisa.
- 26:38Therefore, while Benjamin will say that
- 26:41the popularization of the work of art is
- 26:43important, it is also not the same work
- 26:45of art in itself. Something is lost, but
- 26:47it's important because it becomes
- 26:48popularized.
- 26:50Now, Adorno and Horkheimer will say: "
- 26:51Look, what's happening is the following
- 26:53." Up until then, culture had the
- 26:55function of provoking you.
- 26:58Culture was made so that people would
- 27:01look at it and feel strange, look at it
- 27:03and emerge from it as someone new, moved
- 27:05, shocked by it, thinking about
- 27:07something they had never thought about
- 27:09before, and from that, thinking
- 27:10something new.
- 27:13Culture within capitalism simply becomes
- 27:16a commodity.
- 27:19And for it to become a commodity, it
- 27:20needs to be a consumable product.
- 27:23For it to be consumable, it cannot be
- 27:25something different from the others; it
- 27:26has to be standardized.
- 27:29Culture in capitalism is standardized.
- 27:32Culture, therefore, does not have the
- 27:34intention of making you think critically
- 27:36.
- 27:37Culture in capitalism has the function
- 27:39of anesthetizing you, of producing for
- 27:42you the consecration of the already
- 27:44consecrated.
- 27:45Whatever has already worked, you will do
- 27:47once, twice, three, four, five,
- 27:48twenty-five, three hundred times.
- 27:51Culture, therefore, should not make you
- 27:53someone who looks at society and becomes
- 27:56a new person.
- 27:58It is for you to continue being who you
- 28:00are, without producing anything new.
- 28:04In other words, the consumption of
- 28:06artwork, film, literature, music, is not
- 28:09meant to transform you, but to alienate
- 28:11you.
- 28:13It is meant to make you not notice the
- 28:16inequalities, so you don't perceive life
- 28:19as it really is.
- 28:20You remain sedated within established
- 28:22cultural standards that don't want you
- 28:24to reflect and don't want you to think
- 28:27about the reality in which you are
- 28:29inserted.
- 28:30It is, therefore, a culture of
- 28:32consumption that aims for conformism.
- 28:36You will want that thing, and this
- 28:38culture is a culture that will be
- 28:40maximized by the owners of the very
- 28:41modes of production.
- 28:44So, culture in capitalism serves to
- 28:46promote the ideology of capitalism.
- 28:50The ideology of meritocracy, the
- 28:52ideologies that justify, therefore, the
- 28:54existence of those very inequalities,
- 28:56okay?
- 28:59And so he writes his very famous text,
- 29:00The Culture Industry, important terms
- 29:02related to the culture industry, right?
- 29:06Consecration of the consecrated and the
- 29:08massification of culture.
- 29:11To massify is the opposite of to
- 29:13democratize.
- 29:15To democratize is to allow people to
- 29:17have the means to understand works of
- 29:19art, thought, and reflection, right?
- 29:22For example, instead, so imagine, so
- 29:25imagine that we have here at the top a
- 29:28wonderful author who would be Machado de
- 29:31Assis, right?
- 29:33Machado de Assis, the best, very
- 29:36difficult, right?
- 29:38So, for you to reach Machado de Assis is
- 29:39difficult; you have to go through
- 29:41several steps to then get there and be
- 29:42able to understand Machado.
- 29:45But this takes time, this demands a lot
- 29:47, it's hard, right?
- 29:49People will have difficulty
- 29:50understanding it. Therefore, instead of
- 29:52getting the person to that level, you
- 29:54don't do that, no. You make something
- 29:55shallower, superficial, simpler.
- 29:58Then the person consumes it, likes it,
- 30:00and will buy another that is just like
- 30:01the first one. And then you will be
- 30:03selling. If you make the person buy
- 30:05Machado de Assis, it will take them a
- 30:06long time to buy something else.
- 30:08They will come out different, they will
- 30:09be able to criticize the very society
- 30:10they want. So no, let's not make people
- 30:12understand Machado de Assis; on the
- 30:14contrary, let's make them hate Machado
- 30:16de Assis. Yeah, school has a role in
- 30:18this, actually, right? Most people who
- 30:20want to, I, for example, didn't read
- 30:21Machado de Assis in high school, only
- 30:22read him later, right?
- 30:24All good? Let's do a little question
- 30:25about this.
- 30:27Entertainment, look how interesting, is
- 30:29the prolongation of work under late
- 30:31capitalism.
- 30:34It is sought by those who want to escape
- 30:35the mechanized labor process to put
- 30:37themselves back in a condition to face
- 30:38it. What does he mean by that?
- 30:41That your post-work entertainment would
- 30:44be as follows: you would leave work, go
- 30:47home, have some fun, get distracted,
- 30:49relax, and rest so that the next day you
- 30:52could face your mechanized job again.
- 30:55But look, at the same time,
- 30:57mechanization has achieved such power
- 31:00over people in their leisure and their
- 31:02happiness.
- 31:04It determines the manufacturing of goods
- 31:05destined for entertainment so deeply
- 31:07that a person can no longer perceive
- 31:09anything other than copies that
- 31:10reproduce the work process itself.
- 31:14So you no longer have something that is
- 31:16meant to distract you, to produce
- 31:17something new for you, to be something
- 31:19fun.
- 31:21It is something that does not make you
- 31:23think and that is produced on an
- 31:24assembly line in the same way as the
- 31:26product the person was making at the
- 31:28factory where they worked before going
- 31:29home.
- 31:31It is the next movie that is just like
- 31:33the previous one. It is the next song
- 31:34that is just like the last one, right?
- 31:38Oh, the Titãs song talks about this.
- 31:41The best song of the latest, the new
- 31:43times of the last, last week, right?
- 31:47In the text, free time is conceived as
- 31:49the consumption of cultural products
- 31:51developed within the same capitalist
- 31:52production system. That's it.
- 31:55Art shouldn't worry about sales, right?
- 31:59There is a quote from a singer I adore,
- 32:01Noel Gallagher, who talks exactly about
- 32:03this.
- 32:07Society did not want the Beatles.
- 32:09Society did not want Jimi Hendrix; they
- 32:11didn't know who he was.
- 32:14If society, if we, if art is produced to
- 32:17please the consumer, new things do not
- 32:19emerge.
- 32:21That is why not much new stuff comes out
- 32:22these days, with exceptions, good things
- 32:24that exist out there, which I also like
- 32:26, you know, so I don't sound like an old
- 32:28grumpy man, right? But Noel G will say,
- 32:30society didn't want Jimi Hendrix, he
- 32:32went there and did it and became the
- 32:34greatest guitarist of all time because
- 32:36he didn't want to please anyone. The
- 32:39cultural producer doesn't have to worry
- 32:40simply about pleasing others, otherwise
- 32:42they won't produce culture, they won't
- 32:43produce anything new, right? Otherwise,
- 32:45they will always produce the same thing
- 32:48, right? That's why the correct
- 32:50alternative here would be letter A.
- 32:51Let's move on right away so we can
- 32:53finish this. Beautiful people. Here,
- 32:55power and education are important
- 32:57concepts for your ENEM exam.
- 33:00And these authors we have here, Pierre
- 33:02Bourdieu and Michel Foucault, both
- 33:05French, are seminal for us to understand
- 33:0820 th-century thought, right? They are
- 33:11very important authors, truly very
- 33:13important, okay?
- 33:15For many, Foucault is the greatest
- 33:18intellectual of the 20th century because
- 33:20of what he produced, because of the
- 33:22concepts he developed and applied in his
- 33:24analyses, right?
- 33:27Foucault, Foucault, who was the son of
- 33:30doctors, grandson of doctors, and went
- 33:32off to study philosophy.
- 33:35He must have been the pride of his
- 33:37parents at the Sunday barbecue, right?
- 33:39Without a doubt. Bourdieu is also a
- 33:42thinker in philosophy and sociology that
- 33:44we will understand next. Well, Pierre
- 33:47Bourdieu takes Marx's concepts, right,
- 33:50where Marx's concept worked with the
- 33:52issue of capital as financial
- 33:55accumulation, right? And that this
- 33:57financial accumulation, this economic
- 34:00accumulation, was a promoter of
- 34:03inequalities. So, whoever has more money
- 34:05ensures that the other doesn't have it,
- 34:07therefore, inequality lies in
- 34:08accumulated capital.
- 34:10He also says that there isn't just
- 34:12financial capital, but that there is
- 34:14also what would be cultural capital, and
- 34:16that this cultural capital—and later
- 34:19social capital—are also capitals that
- 34:21perpetuate and maintain the existence of
- 34:23inequality.
- 34:25Cultural capital is a person who is
- 34:27wealthy, right, from an upper-class
- 34:29family, where this person studies in the
- 34:32best schools, has access to the best
- 34:35teachers, has access to the best books,
- 34:37and the best habits, accepted by that
- 34:40society as the best habits, right?
- 34:43Uh, and that, therefore, they already
- 34:45possess this capital that has been
- 34:47accumulated by their family's
- 34:48generations.
- 34:50So, at breakfast, at lunch, people
- 34:52discuss great works of literature, great
- 34:54philosophical concepts.
- 34:56This is cultural capital that has been
- 34:57accumulated, right?
- 34:59Uh, and this is an advantage for the
- 35:01person to enter adulthood already with
- 35:03this accumulated capital, and they will
- 35:06produce more capital that will be left
- 35:08accumulated for the next children who
- 35:10come along. Want a silly example? I, for
- 35:12example, I was raised by my grandmother
- 35:14.
- 35:15My grandmother didn't have books at home
- 35:17. I do, right?
- 35:18Right here to the side is my library,
- 35:19which I won't show because it might
- 35:20crash my computer. Here I have my little
- 35:22books right here.
- 35:24From here on out, suppose I have a child
- 35:25and they enter the picture too. We will
- 35:27talk about these things here. So he will
- 35:29be accumulating the knowledge I acquired
- 35:31from the books I read, and he will be
- 35:33accumulating that, he will read, then he
- 35:34will buy his own, and he will keep on
- 35:36accumulating. Then my grandson will have
- 35:38my son's cultural capital and my own,
- 35:41and so it goes.
- 35:42And this will allow this person to enter
- 35:45the capitalist world with better
- 35:48resources, not just financial ones,
- 35:50right? That is a problem with the
- 35:52Brazilian elite nowadays, isn't it? The
- 35:53Brazilian elite that doesn't have good
- 35:54cultural habits, right? But that is a
- 35:56conversation for another time. So
- 35:57cultural capital, right, is directly
- 36:00linked to this question of family origin
- 36:03.
- 36:04Elite schools, for example, you have
- 36:05universities that you know very well,
- 36:07Insper, for example, where you have an
- 36:09international relations course where the
- 36:10guy will pay the price of medical school
- 36:12, he will pay 14, 15 thousand reais.
- 36:16It's not just about the tuition or the
- 36:18facility's structure, but that he will
- 36:20be socializing with the Brazilian high
- 36:22society.
- 36:25And then this guy will make his, right,
- 36:27his connections, so later in life, when
- 36:29he goes to work or inherits the family
- 36:31fortune, he will already have good
- 36:33relationships that will ensure he stays
- 36:35rich and often gets even richer, right?
- 36:39Bourdieu also talks about issues
- 36:41referring to symbolic violence, right?
- 36:45A very famous text of his is called "
- 36:47Masculine Domination," in which the
- 36:49domination established by gender issues
- 36:51is not, it is also constructed through
- 36:54language, right?
- 36:56Where speech, the construction of issues
- 36:59attributed to men as always something
- 37:02advantageous, something good, and what
- 37:05is attributed to women as something bad
- 37:08, as something pejorative, as something
- 37:11inferior, right?
- 37:13So, the man's value is strength, the
- 37:15woman's value is weakness, the man's
- 37:17value is reason, the woman's value is
- 37:20sentiment, right?
- 37:22And that is why women are very
- 37:23sentimental, so they don't have the
- 37:25capacity to manage a company.
- 37:28She is too sentimental. Exactly, right?
- 37:29To manage a company, a woman can't, but
- 37:31to be the head of the majority of
- 37:32families in Brazil, which are, you know
- 37:34, single-mother families, then it's fine
- 37:35, right? So, these concepts are
- 37:37important for us to think about, okay?
- 37:41Michel Foucault is the great theorist
- 37:43regarding discourse, right, about
- 37:45disciplinary power.
- 37:47Where does this disciplinary power come
- 37:49from? It comes from the scientific
- 37:51discourses produced throughout history.
- 37:54So, those who produce knowledge have the
- 37:56power.
- 37:58Power is not something that just belongs
- 37:59to those who have knowledge. They
- 38:00produce knowledge and they exercise
- 38:02power. Power is established within
- 38:04relationships, right?
- 38:06Foucault breaks with that Marxist vision
- 38:08of just class struggle, oppressors
- 38:10versus oppressed.
- 38:11That exists, but power also exists in
- 38:14other issues as well. Power is exercised
- 38:16in the small relationships of daily life
- 38:19, right?
- 38:21And these power relations happen in
- 38:23specific environments that will have
- 38:25specific discourses for that environment
- 38:27, which will determine acceptable and
- 38:30unacceptable behaviors, and will
- 38:32determine which bodies are accepted and
- 38:34which are not.
- 38:37And it will seek, therefore, to
- 38:39standardize bodily or behavioral
- 38:41elements as well, right?
- 38:44For a long time, people worked with the
- 38:46idea that there were people who were
- 38:47insane. What is a madman? Madness
- 38:49doesn't exist, right? What exists is a
- 38:51person with some biochemical disorder in
- 38:53the brain. And that's it.
- 38:56When do psychiatric institutions arise,
- 38:58for example?
- 39:00When people had some issue and were no
- 39:02longer useful to capitalism.
- 39:06So, this person who wasn't useful to
- 39:07capitalism is removed from society and
- 39:09thrown into a closed place so we don't
- 39:10have to have contact with them, right?
- 39:12That’s when psychiatric institutions
- 39:15emerge, right? Prisons, right?
- 39:17Regarding psychiatric hospitals,
- 39:19Foucault will be a great scholar of
- 39:21these issues in psychiatry too, right?
- 39:24Inheriting his family's medical
- 39:27traditions.
- 39:30The leper is seen within a practice of
- 39:32rejection, of exile, of fencing off.
- 39:34They are left to get lost inside, like a
- 39:36mass where there is no real importance
- 39:38in differentiating.
- 39:41The plague-stricken are considered under
- 39:43a meticulous tactical policing, where
- 39:46individual differentiations are the
- 39:48limiting effects of a power that
- 39:50multiplies, articulates, and subdivides
- 39:52.
- 39:54The great enclosure on one hand, the
- 39:55fine training on the other.
- 39:57Leprosy and its division, the plague and
- 40:00its records.
- 40:01One is marked, the other analyzed and
- 40:03partitioned.
- 40:05The leper’s exile and the plague’s
- 40:06imprisonment do not carry the same
- 40:08political dream.
- 40:10The authoritarian models described in
- 40:12the text point to a control system based
- 40:14on the formation of disciplinary society
- 40:16.
- 40:18Yes, the disciplinary society will be
- 40:19marked by someone who determines the
- 40:21rules that you must follow.
- 40:23Discipline is external, okay?
- 40:26Different from what will happen later
- 40:27with Zygmunt Bauman and Byung-Chul Han
- 40:29at the end of our class, which we will
- 40:30work on soon.
- 40:32Got it? Let's move on.
- 40:34Folks, elements of culture and identity
- 40:36are very important for the Enem exam,
- 40:38right?
- 40:39Be very, very, very careful with this
- 40:42concept called ethnocentrism, okay?
- 40:46Ethnocentrism is our habit, as
- 40:47individuals, of measuring the world by
- 40:49our own ruler, right?
- 40:52So, it's looking at someone else's
- 40:54culture that is different from yours and
- 40:55judging that culture as if it were wrong
- 40:57and your culture were the right one,
- 40:58okay?
- 41:01For example, when I'm teaching students
- 41:04from Tocantins or people from the North
- 41:06, or if you're in the north of Brazil,
- 41:08açaí is consumed with fish, right?
- 41:12>> Açaí is consumed in a different way.
- 41:15Here we consume açaí with granola,
- 41:18condensed milk, powdered milk, anyway,
- 41:21who's right? Us, right?
- 41:23Obviously, but this conception that is
- 41:25being brought up is looking at the world
- 41:27wanting to judge it with your own values
- 41:29as being definitively correct.
- 41:31Therefore, the ethnocentric perspective
- 41:34is a prejudiced perspective of believing
- 41:37that your culture is the standard.
- 41:42And what happens, therefore, is that
- 41:44cultural anthropology shows us there is
- 41:46no better or worse culture.
- 41:49What exists are cultures that are
- 41:51different.
- 41:53Each culture has its own logic.
- 41:55This discourse that there is a right
- 41:58culture and a wrong culture served only
- 42:01one purpose: for Europeans to enslave
- 42:03Africans, to invade Africa and say, "
- 42:06Look, you Black African, you are
- 42:08incapable of reaching my level of
- 42:10culture.
- 42:13Therefore, I must enslave you, dominate
- 42:14what you have there and extract it,
- 42:15because, you know, it's a moral duty I
- 42:17have. I didn't want to."
- 42:20Ethnocentrism is this general
- 42:21perspective of your culture as the
- 42:23standard; when it's the European, it's
- 42:25Eurocentrism, right?
- 42:27Just change the prefix to swap it out.
- 42:30And so, cultural relativism within
- 42:32anthropology shows us that, in reality,
- 42:34every civilization has its own specific
- 42:36culture and logic, right?
- 42:38That everything is historically
- 42:40constructed, everything is socially
- 42:42constructed, nothing is naturalized,
- 42:43right?
- 42:45And therefore, even gender issues
- 42:47themselves, with important authors who
- 42:49address this, such as Simone de Beauvoir
- 42:52, and Judith Butler more recently as
- 42:54well, right?
- 42:57Another important point we have to
- 42:58consider regarding culture is how
- 43:00culture shapes people's identity and a
- 43:02tradition, right, of a people.
- 43:05And so, for this identity to be
- 43:08maintained and perpetuated, it is
- 43:10necessary to have access to this culture
- 43:13and these cultural productions, which
- 43:16are types of heritage that are tangible
- 43:19and heritage that would be intangible.
- 43:23Whenever something appears talking about
- 43:25heritage, it will be talking about the
- 43:27preservation of identity. If it
- 43:29mentioned memory, it will be talking
- 43:30about heritage preservation, because you
- 43:32have to preserve the identity of a group
- 43:33. Trust me, okay?
- 43:36And then elements related to hybridism,
- 43:38to the mixing of cultures, right?
- 43:40Understand that there is no such thing
- 43:41as a pure culture. Every culture is a
- 43:43mixture of other cultures.
- 43:47This part about culture, the part about
- 43:48culture that the Enem exam will require
- 43:50of you is: don't be prejudiced, get it?
- 43:52Understand that everyone produces
- 43:54culture. You might not like it and might
- 43:56not agree with it, but it's culture,
- 43:58okay?
- 44:00So, uh, we move on to the questions that
- 44:02will appear every year that you take it
- 44:04, you'll have a question about this here
- 44:07, about work, about the world of work,
- 44:09the perspectives regarding work, right?
- 44:13So, there was a type of work in the 19th
- 44:15century called Taylorism, leading into
- 44:17the 20th, where the stopwatch starts to
- 44:20be used; Taylor will divide production
- 44:22and time this production to try to save
- 44:25as much time as possible, right? Because
- 44:27time is money.
- 44:29Then Ford goes to a Taylor factory to
- 44:31understand it. Interesting. Oh, cool,
- 44:33right? So you divided the production,
- 44:35one guy stays here, another guy stays
- 44:37here, one guy here, another guy here. So
- 44:39this guy takes his product here, the
- 44:40other guy takes the product here,
- 44:41another guy takes it here, and this one
- 44:43packs it. Cool.
- 44:45But then when this guy is coming back
- 44:47here and this guy is coming back here
- 44:48and this guy is coming back here, during
- 44:49this return you aren't making money,
- 44:50right?
- 44:53Which means, therefore, that you don't
- 44:55need to—you have to find a way to make,
- 44:57uh, what is being produced, right?
- 45:00The product should go by itself from one
- 45:01place to another. So what does Ford do?
- 45:04He puts in the assembly line, puts a
- 45:06conveyor belt to carry the product to
- 45:07the next employee.
- 45:10And so within Fordism, it's not just the
- 45:11issue of how it's produced, which is
- 45:13what's important for our sociology test
- 45:14, right?
- 45:16It's for us to understand that, uh,
- 45:22the discipline that exists within a
- 45:24Fordist and Toyotist environment is a
- 45:26rigid discipline.
- 45:28Discipline is promoted from the outside
- 45:30, it is external, therefore, right?
- 45:34You already have the beginning of some
- 45:36labor laws in place, okay?
- 45:38You have a rigidity of work, right? In
- 45:41Fordism, you are going to be doing that
- 45:42same thing for your whole life, right?
- 45:45You already have the achievement of
- 45:47labor rights in Fordism and Toyotism,
- 45:50right?
- 45:51So, the worker will have their rights
- 45:53within the factory where they will be
- 45:55working.
- 45:56In Brazil, for example, Vargas creates
- 45:59labor laws during his constitutional
- 46:01government from '34 to '37.
- 46:04Then he goes on to establish the CLT
- 46:06during the Estado Novo.
- 46:09So you have workers having security,
- 46:11stability within the company where they
- 46:13were working, as long as they kept doing
- 46:16the same thing with quality.
- 46:19Today we live in a world that is
- 46:21different from that.
- 46:23We live in a world marked by the
- 46:25outsourcing of labor, a world marked
- 46:27increasingly by the precariousness of
- 46:29work relations, by "uberization," right
- 46:31?
- 46:33In which you don't have labor bonds, a
- 46:35reduction of these bonds, right?
- 46:37A characteristic, therefore, of
- 46:39neoliberalism, right?
- 46:41Selling you the idea that you are the
- 46:43owner of yourself, a self-made man, you
- 46:45are an entrepreneur of yourself, you are
- 46:46an entrepreneur, right?
- 46:48Nothing against that, okay? My wife is
- 46:50an entrepreneur, I am an entrepreneur,
- 46:51everyone has to fight for their own.
- 46:54What we are bringing up here is how this
- 46:56"uberization" of labor also promotes
- 46:58precariousness in terms of security,
- 47:01okay?
- 47:02Then there is the cartoon, right?
- 47:05"Ah, entrepreneurs, don't you sleep
- 47:07better knowing that you are your own
- 47:10boss?" Then the guy says: "I don't sleep
- 47:12."
- 47:13Meaning, therefore, that he is there
- 47:15setting his own hours, doing the things
- 47:16he needs to do, but he is in a rush, and
- 47:18if he doesn't go after his own, he won't
- 47:20get anything.
- 47:21So, the contemporary world of work is a
- 47:23world marked by the flexibilization of
- 47:26labor.
- 47:26One day you are working, the next you
- 47:29are not necessarily.
- 47:31Platformization, everything requested by
- 47:33cell phone on a platform; soon schools
- 47:34will be asking for teachers, "Oh,
- 47:36tomorrow I need a philosophy teacher,"
- 47:38you open it up and the guy goes to work
- 47:39, right?
- 47:41So, the contemporary world is a world in
- 47:44which labor relations are liquid, right
- 47:46?
- 47:47For us to borrow an expression from
- 47:49Zygmunt Bauman, even.
- 47:52Behind the magic of Google Assistant, of
- 47:54its ability to interpret 26 languages,
- 47:57is an enormous team of linguists
- 47:59distributed globally, working as
- 48:02subcontractors, who must tediously label
- 48:04the training data for it to work.
- 48:08They earn low wages and are routinely
- 48:10forced to work unpaid overtime.
- 48:13Artificial intelligence doesn't run on
- 48:17magic dust.
- 48:19It runs through workers who tirelessly
- 48:21train algorithms until they automate
- 48:24their own jobs.
- 48:27You know that CAPTCHA thing, right?
- 48:29When you try to log into a site and it
- 48:31asks you to spot the bicycles.
- 48:34That’s you training an AI, isn't it? So
- 48:36the AI can see and identify them. You
- 48:38know that, right?
- 48:40The text critiques technological change
- 48:42due to the following consequence:
- 48:44diversification of roles. The guy is
- 48:46leaving one role and going to another.
- 48:48No. Population mobility. What do you
- 48:50mean by mobility? People moving from one
- 48:51place to another. Employee autonomy.
- 48:55The employee is autonomous. If they are
- 48:57an autonomous employee, then why aren't
- 48:59they being paid for what they do, right
- 49:01?
- 49:02Concentration of production, no.
- 49:04Invisibility of the professional?
- 49:06Yes, because you think it's a Google
- 49:08algorithm producing that for you, when
- 49:10in fact it's a person doing it elsewhere
- 49:11, okay?
- 49:13Does everyone understand? This is very
- 49:15simple, right?
- 49:17Questions about structure, racial
- 49:18stratification, there are different
- 49:20types of social levels, there are caste
- 49:22societies, estate societies, and class
- 49:24societies, right?
- 49:26Class societies are more marked by
- 49:28issues of social mobility, which are
- 49:30important. An important theme for the
- 49:32ENEM exam, structural racism.
- 49:34Understanding that racism in Brazil,
- 49:36right, according to this perspective, is
- 49:39established in the structures that keep
- 49:41Brazil running, okay?
- 49:44In Brazilian sociology, a very important
- 49:46topic for the ENEM exam is the critique
- 49:49made by Florestan Fernandes of the
- 49:51concept of racial democracy established
- 49:53by Gilberto Freyre, that Brazil is the
- 49:55result of a harmonious mix of three
- 49:57races, when in fact it is the result of
- 50:00much violence, especially, right?
- 50:03The gender issue, I already mentioned a
- 50:05little bit when we talked about the
- 50:06budget. Here is a question about power
- 50:08and citizenship, folks.
- 50:11Power and citizenship has T.H. Marshall
- 50:12as its main author, who is this guy here
- 50:14, and José Murilo de Carvalho in Brazil
- 50:16, okay?
- 50:17Marshall says there are three types of
- 50:19rights, right, which are civil,
- 50:21political, and social rights.
- 50:24Civil rights were won, for example,
- 50:26during the English revolution, right,
- 50:29where people are now citizens.
- 50:32So you have civil rights, meaning you
- 50:33will answer in court or be able to sue
- 50:35someone in court like anyone else.
- 50:37Everyone is equal before the law.
- 50:39Political rights, being able to
- 50:41participate in politics, okay?
- 50:43And social rights, you having access to
- 50:45school, access to healthcare, to public
- 50:47transport, right?
- 50:50And so José Murilo de Carvalho analyzes
- 50:51Marshall and brings that to the order in
- 50:53Brazil, where in fact we have social
- 50:54rights first.
- 50:56The people worry first about social
- 50:58rights, then about political rights, and
- 51:00perhaps civil rights.
- 51:02We have already spoken about social
- 51:03movements when we discussed other issues
- 51:04, and we will finish here by talking a
- 51:06bit about the world in globalization.
- 51:08The world of globalization is marked by
- 51:10the flexibilization of work
- 51:11relationships.
- 51:14It is marked, evidently, by increased
- 51:16urbanization, right, by the problems
- 51:18derived from urbanization.
- 51:22And this globalized, urbanized, "
- 51:24uberized" world is a world where social
- 51:26media takes over everything, right?
- 51:29Where social media is a new drug
- 51:31consumed by the population, right?
- 51:35And on social media, you have a network
- 51:37that is supposed to be, in theory,
- 51:38social; but it becomes a network that is
- 51:41more individual than social, because
- 51:42you’re just being, uh, narcissistic,
- 51:45right, only seeing yourself, only your
- 51:47own behavior, only the position you
- 51:48defend yourself, right?
- 51:50Therefore, you have people living in
- 51:52bubbles, right? A suggestion I always
- 51:54give to students: follow people you
- 51:56disagree with. If you are on the right,
- 51:57follow the guys on the left. If you are
- 51:59on the left, follow the guys on the
- 52:00right.
- 52:01Because in society, in the real world,
- 52:03that’s not how it works. And so, what
- 52:05happens? Social media produces an
- 52:07activism that, in the external reality
- 52:10we see here, isn't how things work. But
- 52:12then you have physical conflict
- 52:14happening often because of someone who
- 52:16got used to living on social media, okay
- 52:18?
- 52:19All these concepts are very important
- 52:21and also explained by Zygmunt Bauman,
- 52:23right? Bauman, who says we live in a
- 52:25modernity that is no longer solid. The
- 52:27guy who worked in a, I don't know, the
- 52:30guy from the 40s, 50s, his life was
- 52:32solid.
- 52:33He knew he would have a job, that he
- 52:35would go to college, that he would get
- 52:37married, have a kid, buy a house, a car
- 52:39, a country house, buy a beach house.
- 52:42And he did all of that.
- 52:43Nowadays, no. Nowadays you don't even
- 52:45know if the job you'll graduate from
- 52:47college for will exist, will be
- 52:48functioning in the coming years, right?
- 52:50It is precisely about this that in the
- 52:52year 2026 these demonstrations happened
- 52:54here. These demonstrations are happening
- 52:56in France, right, in the fight for
- 52:58social rights.
- 52:59One would understand that rights are the
- 53:01result of the organization of social
- 53:03movements, right?
- 53:05And for Bauman, bonds are fragile bonds
- 53:07, different from those bonds of a more
- 53:09traditional company, okay? Byung-Chul
- 53:12Han, the last author we have, defines
- 53:14the concepts of the society of fatigue,
- 53:16right?
- 53:17where you pressure yourself, there is no
- 53:19longer a discipline coming from the
- 53:21outside; it is you who looks inward and
- 53:23sees yourself as someone who cannot do
- 53:25the things you should be doing.
- 53:26Therefore, you are the failure because
- 53:28you knew everything you should have been
- 53:29doing. And so you have people suffering
- 53:31from burnout in a general way.
- 53:34Got it?
- 53:36According to Bauman, what is the
- 53:37function of utopia in the context of
- 53:39social transformations? To enable
- 53:41affective memories? To point out
- 53:43possible alternatives? Yes, that is the
- 53:45possible alternative for Bauman here.
- 53:48And my people, we finish our class here
- 53:50. I went two minutes over, sorry, but I
- 53:53think it was of great value to you,
- 53:55right? I am Professor Juliano, and one
- 53:57detail: for those of you who made it
- 53:59this far, don't forget, we have a QR
