Estratégias de enfrentamento à pobreza e controle social no campo: políticas de assistência social e de trabalho em ChapadinhA/MA

Abstract

In the context of the Brazilian unequal and peripheral development project in contemporaneity, capital in crisis, promotes strategies for reestablishment of the social control system. Under liberal social ideology, social policies are realigned with a view to controlling work, through interventions on poverty, operated by the State, through mechanisms technical-bureaucratic. In this dynamic, Assistance Policy gains centrality Social and, notably, the Bolsa Família Program to the detriment of social policies referenced in work, subjected to processes of privatization, precariousness and selectivity. In the countryside, the capital project intensifies some of the most traditional aspects of the agrarian question: land concentration, inequality and poverty, through contemporary forms of capitalist organization of use, land ownership and possession. The municipality of Chapadinha/MA expresses locally the contradictions and interrelations between the expansion of soybean agribusiness, the redimensioning of poverty in the countryside and the refunctionalization of work and social assistance to the process of political and ideological submission of peasantry to capital
