<p>Com base na compreensão marxista do capitalismo e pressupondo a correlação entre a posição na estrutura social e as possibilidades de uso e de apropriação do espaço, desenvolvi uma tese de doutorado na qual, entre outros aspectos, propus critérios para operacionalizar a categoria classe social. Este texto resulta de uma reavaliação desse trabalho, objetivando, portanto, refletir sobre tais critérios, a partir de uma experiência de pesquisa em Geografia. Para isso, apresento uma síntese do percurso teórico que resultou nos procedimentos adotados, exponho tais procedimentos, e avalio a adoção de critérios relativos à ocupação e à trajetória dos sujeitos para compreender sua classe. Essa discussão é feita, sobretudo, a partir dos achados de campo e da vinculação entre teoria e prática. Assinalo ainda a possibilidade de considerar suas interpretações do mundo e de suas práticas como elemento indicativo de sua posição na estrutura social.</p><p>Abstract</p><p>A COURSE TO THE SOCIAL CLASS CATEGORY OPERATIONALIZATION IN A GEOGRAPHY RESSEARCH</p><p>Based on Marxist understanding regarding capitalism and supposing that one’s position on the social structure influences their possibilities of space usage and appropriation, I have developed a doctorate thesis in which, among other aspects, I have proposed some criteria to operationalize the social class category. This text is a result of this paper’s reevaluation, therefore intend to reflect on such criteria, based on a Geography research experience. To achieve that, I present a synthesis of the theoretical course which led to the adopted procedures, expose such procedures, and analyze adopting criteria related to one’s occupation as well as their trajectory in order to understand their class. This discussion is made mainly based on the field findings and the linking between theory and practice. I also mark the possibility of taking their world interpretations and their practices in consideration as an element that indicates their position on the social structure.</p>

This paper investigates the concept of social roles in ethnographic fieldwork, its place in the global literature discussing qualitative research methods, and its application in the Ethiopian ethnographic fieldwork. I discuss that social roles are all about seeing one’s role and status, in this case, as researchers, in the social structure of a society or community we do the ethnographic research. Based on my own experience and the experience of other ethnographers elsewhere, I argue that a conscious use of our social roles is a <i>sin qua non</i> for successful ethnographic fieldwork. However, this concept has been given less emphasis in the literature of qualitative research methods. Social roles in the ethnographic fieldwork are especially less known in the Ethiopian ethnographic research experience. <b> </b>

Article clarified structure, global view of social class, and social structure function as the background of Orang-orang Proyek, a novel by Ahmad Tohari. Research applied analytic and dialectic descriptive method. Analysis was done by applying Genetic Structuralism theory by Lucien Goldmann to see the meaning of the novel by relating the structure of the novel with the human facts (social structure) as a background of the novel. The research results indicate that the novel structure described some oppositions, those are cultural, natural, social, and human oppositions; the novel’s structure expresses a global views, those are ideal-humanist and social-religious; when the novel was written, there were some corruption cases in the social structure in Indonesia that was adopted in the novel. Therefore, there seems a correlation between the novel structure and the social structure.

The objective of the present study was to compare the social structure and internal establishment of a Roma community in two historical periods: in the 18th century and the present. We analysed Samuel Augustini ab Hortis’s work, “Von dem Heutigen Zustände, Sonderbaren Sitten und Lebensart, Wie Auch von Denen Übrigen Eigenschaften und Umständen der Zigeuner in Ungarn” (On the Contemporary Situation, Distinctive Manners and Way of Life, as Well as the Other Characteristics and Circumstances of Gypsies in Greater Hungary), written in 1775–1776. Using content analysis, we subsequently compared his findings with our recent data from analogous qualitative research in a geographically-defined area of north-eastern Slovakia, the same region in which Augustini lived. Data collection was intensely conducted in 2012–2013 and once more in 2017–2019. The qualitative methods included direct observation, semi-structured interviews and focus groups. Four key informants and more than 70 participants collaborated in the study. The greatest difference we observed compared to the 18th century was the absence of a leader of the community, a “vajda”, whose status was taken over by a new social class of “entrepreneurs”. The most vulnerable group of the segregated and separated Roma communities are the “degesa”, the lowest social class. They face a phenomenon consisting of so-called triple marginalization: they live in one of the most underdeveloped regions of the country, they inhabit segregated settlements and they are excluded by their own ethnic group. The socioeconomic status of the richest classes has changed faces, while the socioeconomic status of the lowest has not. We found a misconception among helping professionals (e.g., social workers) regarding the homogeneity of the Roma community. This calls for more attention to the erroneous use of the ethnic-based approach in the helping professions.

The fact that white-collar workers share relatively similar experiences of economic hardship and proletarianization across nations but develop clearly different types of trade unionism renders the theoretical relevance of formalist and economist approaches to the class location and class character of whitecollar workers questionable. According to this perspective, notwithstanding ideological and logical variants, social class reflects an occupational conglomerate, and class constituents' consciousness, disposition, and action are determined by their position in the social structure. Analysis of social class becomes a simple task of filling empty strata with workers and debate centers on the demarcation lines within the occupational structure, generating theories of class structure without attention to class agents (Bourdieu 1984). By contrast, historico-cultural, ethnographic approaches to social class, pioneered by E. P. Thompson's monumental work in 1963, turn formalist, economist theories on their head by bringing class agents back in. The process by which workers become class members is considered complex, contingent, and relational: lifestyles, dispositions, modes of collective action, and political orientations blend at a historical juncture in such a way that a class character substantially distinct and sustained enough forms and becomes an important dimension of social structure.
