The Social

El término capital social es uno de los más utilizados en la literatura especializada de las últimas décadas. De hecho, resulta un concepto claramente evocador de diferentes contenidos pero difícilmente medible, en función de la definición que se haga de él. A partir de un trabajo de desagregación en componentes y de una propuesta metodológica concreta, hemos tratado de elaborar un índice sintético para medir el capital social y otro para los bienes relacionales. El contenido fundamental de este artículo recoge dicha propuesta y su aplicación sobre jóvenes (entre 18 y 29 años) que, teniendo o no la nacionalidad española, cuenten con un pasado migratorio familiar reciente (es decir, hijos de inmigrantes) y que residan desde hace un mínimo de 15 años en nuestro país. Además, se ha establecido una comparativa entre quienes constituyen nuestro campo de estudio y otros dos grupos distintos con los que comparten características importantes pero se diferencian en aspectos significativos: adultos inmigrantes residentes en España con los que comparten procedencia cultural y jóvenes españoles de entre 18 y 29 años sin pasado migratorio familiar reciente con los que comparten edad y, en muchos casos, nacionalidad.The term social capital is one of the most used in the specialized literature of recent decades. In fact, it is a concept clearly reminiscent of different contents, but difficult to measure, depending on the definition used. From a work of disaggregation into components and a concrete methodological proposal, we have tried to elaborate a synthetic index to measure the social capital and another one for the relational goods. The fundamental content of this article includes this proposal and its application to young people (between 18 and 29 years old) who, with or without Spanish nationality, have a recent past of family migration and a minimum of 15 years in our country. In addition, a comparison has been established between those who make up our field of study and two other groups with whom they share important characteristics but differ in significant aspects: immigrant adults living in Spain with whom they share cultural background and young Spaniards between 18 and 29 years old without recent family migration past with whom they share age and, in many cases, nationality.

If we sum up the tasks facing the Russian state in relation to the young generation, then all of them are associated with its harmonious inclusion in the social and political development of the country. At the normative level, the current need is declared for young people to form active citizenship and democratic political culture, which is possible only in a constant and equal dialogue between the authorities and young people. Ensuring the interaction of the younger generation with the political elite presupposes the existence of certain conditions - the creation and effective functioning of the information infrastructure of youth policy, as well as the conduct of an open active information policy. The article describes the results of a study of the political status of students of the capital of Tatarstan - Kazan, in particular, such parameters as youth interest in political information, trust in the sources of this information, and political participation. Together with the data of secondary studies, this made it possible to characterize the youth sector of political communication, identify the existing difficulties in the interaction of the government and youth, in particular, identify some difficulties in receiving and disseminating political information among the youth, which impede the development of a democratic political culture and the accumulation of social capital of the young generation.

El presente artículo tiene como objetivo analizar la construcción, sustentabilidad y usos del capital social comunitario en un movimiento social argentino que plantea la horizontalidad y la autonomía como valores fundamentales de organización social. A través del análisis de la dinámica de tres tipos de capital social —unión, puente, y nexo—, se observa que el movimiento en cuestión consigue crear rápidamente capital social comunitario y una identidad común diferenciadora. Sin embargo, el capital social rápidamente construido no logra sustentarse en el tiempo, debido a la incapacidad de sus integrantes en generar mecanismos descentralizados y eficientes de monitoreo mutuo, responsabilidad compartida y penalización moral que protejan el bien común y refuercen la identidad comunitaria a través de redes sociales densas.   ABSTRACTThe objective of this article is to analyze the construction, sustainability and uses of community social capital in a social movement in Argentina that identifies horizontality and autonomy as fundamental values of social organization. By analyzing the dynamics of three types of social capital —bonding, bridging and linking— we can observe that the movement studied here is able to rapidly create community social capital and  differentiating common identity. Nevertheless, the social capital rapidly constructed is not sustained over time, because the movement’s members are unable to generate decentralized, efficient mechanisms for mutual monitoring, shared responsibility and moral penalization that will protect the common good and strengthen community identity through dense social networks.

Qualitative research is a field of study that deals with exploring, describing, and interpreting the innate quality of entities and the social processes. In the recent past, an extensive growth in qualitative field of research has been witnessed, particularly in the occupational settings. It is a dynamic and exhilarating area that seeks to explain the research observations by means of insights which are hard to produce with quantitative methods. Most of the work is concerned with developing a theory (i.e., an inductive way to find out new solutions or identify new questions related to social being). In this chapter, the author has targeted the segment which is mostly the students pursuing research courses or conducting empirical work; the faculties and the mangers who are handling the diversity of the social beings at their workplaces, whose varied needs are persistently evolving, would be able to understand the notion of technique which is qualitative in nature. Certain studies conducted in past and present have also been illustrated to maintain the reader's interest.

This paper examines the entrepreneurial inclinations of young people who achieved excellence in vocational occupations. We propose a three-capital approach to the study of entrepreneurship. Relying on the existing theories and original qualitative and quantitative data analyses, findings from interviews with 30 entrepreneurial and 10 non-entrepreneurial WorldSkills competitors show that psychological capital, social capital and human capital can be combined to explore how young people who excel in vocational occupations develop entrepreneurial mindsets. We show that training for and participation in the largest vocational skills event globally - WorldSkills competition - develops selected aspects of three capitals. However, we also discover that the entrepreneurial motivation precedes competitors' involvement with WorldSkills.

Resumo: O objetivo com este artigo foi discutir as influências do capital social na constituição do campo organizacional do circo contemporâneo no Canadá. Para tanto, considera-se capital social como um conjunto de normas, redes e organizações por meio das quais os indivíduos obtêm acesso a poder e recursos para a tomada de decisão e formulação de políticas. Entende-se que a importância deste trabalho se encontra na relevância do estudo de organizações circenses, pela articulação entre as práticas culturais e econômicas que ocorrem em seu processo organizativo, especialmente no contexto canadense que se configura como referência mundial do campo do circo contemporâneo e ainda pouco estudado na área de Administração, especialmente no contexto canadense que se configura como referência mundial do campo do circo contemporâneo e ainda pouco estudado na área de Administração. A pesquisa foi desenvolvida na Cidade de Montréal, província de Québec, Canadá, em 2013. Foram entrevistados gestores das três organizações que atuam na regulamentação e disseminação das artes no circo canadense, e de oito das maiores companhias circenses contemporâneas. Os resultados indicam que trabalhar em grandes companhias circenses é um dos meios de constituir o capital social, possibilitando a formação, acesso a redes de profissionais e possíveis parceiros de trabalho. O capital social possibilita a articulação dos artistas em organizações para produzir vias alternativas de acesso a recursos financeiros e a participação em editais públicos de fomento. Uma das contribuições do estudo está nas evidências empíricas, quando da incorporação das práticas de gestão às práticas artísticas circenses.Palavras-chave: Capital social. Campo organizacional.

Therefore, we consider social capital as a set of rules, networks and organizations through which individuals gain access to power and resources for decision-making and policy formulation. We understand that the importance of this work in the relevance of the study of circus organizations, by the articulation between cultural and economic practices that occur in their organizational process, especially in the Canadian context that is configured as a world reference of the field of contemporary circus and still little studied in the area of Administration. The research was conducted in the City of Montréal, province of Québec, Canada, in 2013. We interviewed managers of the three organizations operating in regulation and dissemination of the arts in Canadian circus, and of eight major contemporary circus companies. The results indicate that work on major circus companies is one way to establish the capital, enabling training, access to professional network of the area and potential working partners. The social capital enables the articulation of artists in organizations to produce alternative ways of access to financial resources and participation in public tenders for development. One of the contributions of the study is in the empirical evidences, when incorporating the practices of management to the artistic practices circenses.Keywords: Social capital. Organizational field.

Abstract This paper presents a synthesis of the main characteristics of neoclassical, behavioral, and socioeconomic models. The main characteristics of this synthesis is that it includes social capital-produced relational goods whose value and meaning depend on their connections to people. We contrast relational goods with commodities. Then, we examine whether the synthesis can resolve some of the sometimes conflicting explanations and predictions of economic exchange models. Finally, we apply the synthesis to rural development and find it provides useful explanations and recommendations.

<p>Neste artigo, busca-se problematizar os processos de complexificação dos campos de produção e consumo em dois bairros populares, os bairros Brasil, em Vitória da Conquista, e Pernambués, em Salvador, através da identificação, da caracterização e da análise das centralidades de comércio e serviços, de suas dinâmicas internas e relações com a área da qual fazem parte na cidade. Além da pesquisa bibliográfica relativa à temática e à metodologia, a aplicação de questionários para empreendedores e público consumidor, realização de entrevistas com empreendedores, bem como a sistematização, a tabulação e a análise dos dados obtidos foram os principais procedimentos metodológicos utilizados, objetivando-se traçar os perfis sociais dos dois grupos, vistos aqui como agentes nos processos de complexificação das centralidades identificadas nos bairros. As pesquisas realizadas entre 2015 e 2016 buscaram também fomentar o debate sobre a existência ou não de um processo de ascensão de uma “nova classe média”, discurso tão amplamente divulgado pelo governo brasileiro e difundido pelos veículos de comunicação nos últimos anos. A análise de dois bairros populares em contextos urbano-regionais diferenciados no estado da Bahia nos permite afirmar que é inegável o processo de complexificação das centralidades de comércio e serviços nestes recortes. Por outro lado, há um evidente empobrecimento do capital social dos empreendedores entrevistados em ambos os bairros (lazer restrito, falta de tempo para os amigos e para frequentar equipamentos culturais), o capital escolar/cultural permanecendo praticamente inalterado e a continuidade dos estudos na universidade dependendo de um enorme esforço pessoal daqueles que se dispõem a fazê-lo. Percebe-se também que a ascensão social, ou melhor, a inserção pelo consumo pode interferir na vida de relações sociais dos bairros populares analisados, com o empobrecimento do capital social de empreendedores (e consumidores).</p><p><strong>Palavras–chave:</strong> comércio e serviços, ascensão social, bairro popular, bairro empreendedor, Salvador, Vitória da Conquista.</p><p><strong>Abstract </strong></p><p>This paper aims to discuss the processes of complexification of the fields of production and consumption through the identification, characterization and analysis of trade and services centralities, its internal dynamics and the relations sustained by them within the area of the city in which they are located. We proceeded the studies in two popular neighborhoods in two different cities in the state of Bahia, Brazil. The first neighborhood is called Brazil and it is located in Vitoria da Conquista and the second is called Pernambués and it is located in Salvador. In addition to bibliographical research on both, the subject and methodology, we applied questionnaires for entrepreneurs and consumers, conducted interviews with entrepreneurs and proceeded its systematization, tabulation and analysis of the data obtained as the main methodological procedures in this study. By choosing to do so, we aimed to portray the social profiles of the two groups (entrepreneurs and consumers), seen here as active agents in the processes of complexification of the centralities identified in the neighborhoods. The surveys that were conducted between 2015 and 2016 intended to promote the debate about the possibility of existence of the process of ascension of a "new middle class" in Brazil, a discourse extensively disseminated by the government and by the media in recent years. The analysis of the two popular neighborhoods in different urban-regional contexts in the state of Bahia allows us to affirm that the process of complexification of the centralities of commerce and services in these localities is undeniable. On the other hand, there is a discernible impoverishment of the social capital of the entrepreneurs interviewed in both neighborhoods (restricted leisure, lack of time for friends and to attend cultural facilities), school/cultural capital remaining practically unchanged and the continuity of university studies (when applied) depending on a huge personal effort of those who are willing to do so. It is also noticeable that social ascension, or rather, insertion through consumption, can interfere in the social life of the residents of the popular neighborhoods analyzed resulting in the impoverishment of the social capital of the entrepreneurs (and also of the consumers).</p><p style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: justify; line-height: normal;"><strong>Keywords</strong>: commerce and services, Social ascension, Popular neighborhoods, Entrepreneurial neighborhoods, Salvador, Vitória da Conquista</p>
