O texto que apresentamos, trata-se de um esforço teórico de compreensão das diferentes apropriações do conceito de tecnologia no campo de estudos sobre o trabalho e a educação no Brasil. No país, os debates acadêmicos sobre as relações entre trabalho e educação vêm ocorrendo sob a forte influência do prisma metodológico do materialismo histórico e dialético. Dessa forma, a escolha pela compreensão do locus da categoria tecnologia, no escopo da teoria marxiana, adquire centralidade nesta pesquisa, cujo caminho parece não ter sido suficientemente explicitado e debatido no contexto das mediações entre trabalho, tecnologia e educação. A referida opção encontra, todavia, uma celeuma a enfrentar, posta no interior dos Estudos Sociais sobre Ciência, Tecnologia e Sociedade, área onde movimentos, pesquisas acadêmicas e outros agentes disputam acalorado debate acerca da relação tecnologia e sociedade. Nesse campo, encontra-se uma forte tendência de classificação do pensamento marxiano no âmbito do determinismo tecnológico. No contraponto dessa rotulação, o texto divulga resultados parciais de uma tese em andamento que procura realizar dois movimentos: 1) Compreender os argumentos taxativos ao determinismo tecnológico no campo dos estudos sobre tecnologia e sociedade e dar a eles um tratamento analítico à luz da teoria marxiana, refutando tal classificação. 2) Analisar a produção do campo trabalho e educação no Brasil por meio da leitura e reflexão a partir da disseminação das pesquisas no interior do grupo Trabalho e Educação da ANPED, explicitando como a conceituação de tecnologia vem sendo adotada nas últimas décadas por esse agrupamento de intelectuais.ABSTRACTThe text is a theoretical effort to understand the different appropriations of the concept of technology in the field of Work and Education Studies in Brazil. In the country, academic debates about the relationship between work and education have been taking place under the strong influence of the historical and dialectical materialism methodological perspective. Therefore, understanding the locus of the technology category within the scope of Marxian theory becomes central to this research, path that seems to have not been described and debated enough in the context of the mediations between work, technology and education. This option, however, faces a controversy within the Social Studies on Science, Technology and Society, where social movements, academic research and other agents engage on a heated debate about the relationship between technology and society. In the field there is a strong tendency to classify Marxian thought in the context of technological determinism. Countering this labeling, the text discloses partial results of an ongoing thesis that seeks to: 1) Understand the taxonomic arguments against technological determinism in the field of Technology and Society Studies and give them an analytical treatment in the light of Marxian theory, refuting such classification. 2) Analyze the production on Work and Education in Brazil through a close reading of the research carried out by the Work and Education group of ANPED, explaining how the conceptualization of technology has been adopted in the last decades by this group of intellectuals.

Abstract This essay is the result of observations drawn from our decades of experience as a social worker and professor, particularly of classes in professional ethics in Social Work. It is also based on theoretical studies and qualitative empirical academic research about ethics/professional ethics and Social Work. The content was partially presented and debated in a lecture at the XV ENPESS. The arguments seek to deepen the debate about the relationship between pluralism and Social Work. Such a debate is essential to professionals in the field, since it is linked to the fundamental ethical principles of the current Code of Professional Ethics of Social Workers. It should be noted that there is a sufficient and critical apprehension of the subject by Social Work professionals and students must have an adequate and critical grasp of these issues, particularly considering the present moment when current conservative waves that are expressed with such importance in the social life of Brazilians and seem to have repercussions in this professional field.

The Relationship

This chapter explores four theoretical perspectives on technology and society — technological determinism, social constructivism, actor network theory (ANT), and posthumanism — and situates them within current empirical research on information and communication technologies (ICTs) and family dynamics. Technological determinism theorises the relationship between technological and social change that informs academic, policy and popular accounts about the place of technology in everyday life. Social constructivist approaches to technology include ‘social shaping of technology’, ‘social construction of technology’ and ‘technological systems’ perspectives. The chapter also explains the main assumptions of ANT and posthumanist approaches before proceeding with a discussion of how technological determinism, social constructivism and ANT have implicitly or explicitly shaped empirical research on ICTs and family life. It concludes by considering the implications of posthumanism for research on ICTs and family life.

Purpose – In 1990, Salovey and Mayer presented a framework for emotional intelligence (EI). This marked the beginning of 20 years of academic research, development, and debate on the subject of EI. A significant amount of previous research has attempted to draw out the relationship between EI and leadership performance. EI has been a uniquely controversial area of the social sciences. EI is based on three simple yet fundamental premises. This manuscript reviews the definitions and models in the field of EI with special emphasis on the Mayer ability model and the connection between EI and leadership. The paper aims to discuss these issues. Design/methodology/approach – This paper takes the form of a literature review. Findings – EI appears to have a foothold in both our popular vernacular and our academic lexicon. However, it is not entirely clear what future form it will take. Originality/value – This manuscript explores the current relationship between EI and leadership, discusses the various instruments and scales used to measure the construct, and examines the controversy and criticism surrounding EI. Finally, it illuminates some areas for additional research.

Opening Up

This paper considers the relationship between social science and the food industry, and it suggests that collaboration can be intellectually productive and morally rewarding. It explores the middle ground that exists between paid consultancy models of collaboration on the one hand and a principled stance of nonengagement on the other. Drawing on recent experiences of researching with a major food retailer in the UK, I discuss the ways in which collaborating with retailers can open up opportunities for accessing data that might not otherwise be available to social scientists. Additionally, I put forward the argument that researchers with an interest in the sustainability—ecological or otherwise—of food systems, especially those of a critical persuasion, ought to be empirically engaging with food businesses. I suggest that this is important in terms of generating better understandings of the objectionable arrangements that they seek to critique, and in terms of opening up conduits through which to affect positive changes. Cutting across these points is the claim that while resistance to commercial engagement might be misguided, it is nevertheless important to acknowledge the power-geometries of collaboration and to find ways of leveling and/or leveraging them. To conclude, I suggest that universities have an important institutional role to play in defining the terms of engagement as well as maintaining the boundaries between scholarship and consultancy—a line that can otherwise become quite fuzzy when the worlds of commerce and academic research collide.

In this response to Terence Keel and John Hartigan’s debate over the social construction of race, I aim to push the discussion beyond the terrain of epistemology and ideology to examine the contested value of racial science in a broader political economy. I build upon Keel’s concern that even science motivated by progressive aims may reproduce racist thinking and Hartigan’s proposition that a critique of racial science cannot rest on the beliefs and intentions of scientists. In examining the value of racial-ethnic classifications in pharmacogenomics and precision medicine, I propose that analysts should attend to the relationship between prophets of racial science (those who produce forecasts about inherent group differences) and profits of racial science (the material-semiotic benefits of such forecasts). Throughout, I draw upon the idiom of speculation—as a narrative, predictive, and financial practice—to explain how the fiction of race is made factual, again and again.

The present study investigates diffusion and adoption of corruption and factors that influence the rate of adoption of corruption in Ghana. In the current study, the diffusion and adoption of corruption and the factors that influence the speed with which corruption spreads in society is examined within Ghana as a developing economy. Data from public sector workers in Ghana are used to conduct the study. Our findings based on the results from One Sample T-Test suggest that corruption is perceived to be high in Ghana and diffusion and adoption of corruption has witnessed appreciative increases. Social and institutional factors seem to have a larger influence on the rate of corruption adoption than other factors. These findings indicate the need for theoretical underpinning in policy formulation to face corruption by incorporating the relationship between the social values and institutional failure, as represented by the rate of corruption adoption in developing economies.

The City

The qualitative and clear definition of the legal regime of the capital of Ukraine, the hero city of Kyiv, is influenced by its legislative enshrinement, however, it should be noted that discussions are ongoing and one of the reasons for the unclear legal status of the capital is the ambiguity of current legislation in this area. Separation of the functions of the city of Kyiv, which are carried out to ensure the rights of citizens of Ukraine and the functions that guarantee the rights of the territorial community of the city of Kyiv. In the modern world, in legal doctrine and practice, the capital is understood as the capital of the country, which at the legislative level received this status and, accordingly, is the administrative and political center of the state, which houses the main state bodies and diplomatic missions of other states. It is the identification of the boundaries of the relationship between the competencies of state administrations and local self-government, in practice, often raises questions about their delimitation and ways of regulatory solution. Peculiarities of local self-government in Kyiv city districts are defined in the provisions of the Law on the Capital, which reveal the norms of the Constitution in these legal relations, according to which the issue of organizing district management in cities belongs to city councils. Likewise, it is unregulated by law to lose the particularity of the legal status of the territory of the city. It should be emphasized that the subject of administrative-legal relations is not a certain administrative-territorial entity, but the social group is designated - the territorial community of the city of Kiev, kiyani. Thus, the provisions on the city of Kyiv partially ignore the potential of the territorial community.
