Pós-humanismo nas relações de trabalho: ciborgues a serviço do capital?

Abstract

This course conclusion work's main objective was to explore the elements that make up the process of cyborgization and the expression of the cyborg body in the hyper-technological context of the current world of work. To investigate the proposed problem, we developed research guided by the historical-dialectic materialist method, with a qualitative approach, based on bibliographic-documentary data collection. Along the way, we obtained as results of data categorization the influences of capitalist productive restructuring in the world of work, shaping a new organization of working life immersed in the technological context, bringing to light the cyborgization of processes and work relations, which are characterized as post-humans because they are unrealizable without technological mediation. Data analysis revealed the elements forced by capitalism in relation to the super-exploitation of the workforce and, in contrast, the possibilities for organizing the working class in terms of using technologies to their own advantage. The study contributes to updating the repertoire of Applied Social Sciences research on the symbiotic human-machine relationship, following a path that is not very common in the currently available production.
