Resumo: Procuramos analisar neste artigo um conjunto de práticas realizadas por trabalhadores situados em espaços rurais no âmbito do universo das confecções de vestuários no interior do estado brasileiro de Pernambuco. O Polo de Confecções do Agreste de Pernambuco compreende-se como um aglomerado constituído majoritariamente por micro e pequenas empresas caracterizado por sua estrutura descentralizada em que a produção de peças de roupas se dá sob regime de subcontratação arregimentando grande número de mão de obra informal e familiar. Dessa forma, nos chama a atenção como se combina uma ordem moral camponesa com práticas que caracterizam a acumulação flexível do capitalismo. No nosso entender, a forma como o trabalho familiar é utilizado mobiliza uma economia moral de forma a engendrar relações não mercantis na produção e comercialização de mercadorias. Dialogando com dados tirados de nossa pesquisa realizada no município de Surubim, discutimos as tensões que envolvem as várias estratégias de reprodução social tecidas por unidades familiares com os diferentes padrões de acumulação de capital.Palavras-chave: Agricultores Familiares.

Trabalho  MACHINE AND HOE: MORAL ECONOMY AND FLEXIBLE ACCUMULATION IN TERRITORY OF MANUFACTURE IN PERNAMBUCO, BRAZILAbstract: We analyze in this article a set of practices performed by workers located in rural spaces within the universe of clothing manufacturing within the Brazilian state of Pernambuco. The Polo de Confecções do Agreste de Pernambuco is understood as a cluster composed mainly of micro and small enterprises characterized by its decentralized structure in which the production of garments is under subcontracting regimenting large informal and family labor. It strikes us how a peasant moral order is combined with practices that characterize the flexible accumulation of capitalism. In our view, the way family work is used mobilizes a moral economy in order to engender nonmarket relations in the production and marketing of goods. Dialogue with data taken from our research conducted in the city of Surubim, we discuss the tensions surrounding the various strategies of social reproduction woven by family units with different patterns of capital accumulation.Keywords: Family Farmers.

The performance of companies has been of great interest in the organizational and academic world. In Brazil it became a matter of survival, given the high number of premature corporate deaths, especially in the field of micro and small enterprises. Following this same interest, the authors began this exploratory qualitative research to find information about the specifics of some companies that manage to remain in the market with reasonable competitiveness and for many years. In this universe, they selected three companies located in the city of Teresina (PI) that presented a significant boost in the face of a turbulent and unpredictable environment. Some characteristics, behaviors, and skills have been highlighted as likely indicators of dynamic capacity leading to the achievement of a competitive advantage, which, consequently, cause these companies to be remembered and chosen by consumers among others existing in the same place or region.

This study was intended to assess whether the bidding notices of Cerejeiras and Cabixi had put regional development foward, under the terms of Complementary Law 123/2006. The research is exploratory, quantitative, with a longitudinal cut, based on the bidding notices from the health and education departments, which were carried out in 2017 and 2018, extracted from transparency portals of the studied towns. The notices were organized and classified in a table, identifying each one of the items covered by the Complementary Law, comparing them with the law and what is contained in the notices. It was checked that the city halls apparently have little knowledge or clarification about the application of the law, since its public notices establish more tiebreakers criteria for Micro and Small Enterprises (MSEs) than other benefits allowed by law. It was also observed that the provided parts by law are not used. The construction contract notices did not provide for the subcontracting of MSEs. Most notices presented the preference for hiring local and regional companies incorrectly. There were no notices with quotas for the exclusive supply of MSEs in bids for goods of a divisible nature. In addition, it was noted that public agents from these towns need training related to the topic to apply the law and thus foster regional development correctly.

In a general way, micro and small enterprises (MPEs) are attractive for their rentability, but, because of some deficiencies in short term financial administration, they work in a high risk of bankruptcy. In this context, this paper aimed to identify and analyze the acting of strategical groups of MPEs according to the methodologies and practices in the working capital conduction, taking as reference the city of Viçosa, MG. In this paper, in which it was used the exploratory quantitive approach, 172 MPEs proprietors were interviewed, and this fact, through the factorial analyses followed by the cluster analyses, enables the identification of three groups with distincts characteristics, basing in restrictive aspects of risk of bankruptcy in these enterprises: low risk, medium risk, and high risk. Despite of the fact that it was noticeable a low risk of bankruptcy group, it is evident the importance of the short term financial administration in the region studied, since the maintenance of a correct administration is far from being unannimous because of the classification of nearly 30% of the enterprises in medium and high risk of bankruptcy groups. To finish, the identification of the enterprises with similar strategies and the best practices used in the short term financial administration can be an aplication instrument in the enterprises classified in medium and high risk of bankruptcy, since some conditioning factors of the risk of bankruptcy were identified.

In the business world, the management of an organization calls for the development of information to support decisions. However, this is not a reality for a significant part of micro and small enterprises in Brazil, as several studies have shown. On this theme, with a focus on individual micro-entrepreneurs, the present study investigated how these businesspeople manage their finances and development. Methodologically, the study was supported by field research with 21 entrepreneurs in different business segments from the city of Volta Redonda (Rio de Janeiro state). Results indicated that 19% of respondents do not control cash flow and 76% do not analyze their financial results. Of those that use some kind of control, 67% monitor their finances by handwritten notes in notebooks. Regarding the sales forecast, less than half of the surveyed people do this type of control. Therefore, the surveyed micro-entrepreneurs need to develop financial and accounting management systems, focusing on a better financial control of their businesses. Although not conclusive, we believe the results obtained are related to the respondents’ low level of education.

The aim of this study is to analyse the influence of interorganisational learning factors on the performance of Micro and Small Enterprises (MSEs) participating in a Local Productive Arrangement (LPA) network; specifically, the clothing arrangement located in the city of Santa Cruz do Capibaribe, in the state of Pernambuco, Brazil. Three aspects were analysed in the performance of the MSEs: cooperation, innovation, and market. For this, a quantitative survey method was employed, with a sample of 301 respondents, analysed through the modelling of structural equations of the PLS type. The results indicate a complex model with the variable interorganisational learning characterised as being of second order, as it is filled by first-order variables of reflexive characteristic, which obtained validation in the measurement and structural assumptions. The model suggests that interorganisational learning positively influences the performance of cooperation, innovation, and market of the MSEs that constitute the LPA.

People’S Perceptions

This article explores the violent, anti-immigrant riots that swept through informal settlements in South Africa in 2008, during which more than sixty foreigners were killed and more than one hundred thousand displaced. In the first part of the paper, I draw on research conducted in informal settlements around the city of Durban to argue that many people’s perceptions of foreigners are informed by ideas about witches and witchcraft, which articulate with widespread anxieties about rising unemployment, housing shortages, and a general crisis of social reproduction. These ideas provide a semiotic environment in which anti-immigrant violence becomes thinkable. In the second part of the paper, I argue that these ethnographic data help us interrogate existing theories of xenophobic violence, which tend to see it as a reaction to the cultural confusion and social anomie that globalization allegedly triggers. This dominant approach relies on assumptions about order and chaos that are native to Euro-American culture and thus do not necessarily apply cross-culturally. I show that these assumptions have a long and troubling history in South Africa, where colonial administrators and mid-century social scientists drew on them in their attempts to manage African populations.
