Formas de controle capitalista: fundamentos e expressões contemporâneas da exploração do trabalho

Abstract

This work, entitled "Forms of capitalist control: fundamentals and contemporary expressions of labor exploitation", aims at analyzing the fundamentals and how it sets up the control over the work in the course of capitalist development, seeking to clarify the nature of the control and diversity as well as the metamorphosis of the processes of labor exploitation. Based on Marxist social theory seeks to critically analyze the socio-historical foundations of capitalist society as well as the processes of organizing productive activity due her. Firstly, are recovered early forms of organizing production (manufacturing and large industry) and the control of capital over labor in these forms of organization. It is noteworthy that at the moment is that the activity is centered in charge of only a capitalist (cooperative work) which starts the control of capital over labor. Subsequently, we analyze the forms of control in contemporary patterns of work organization - Taylorism-Fordism and flexible production - reflecting about why to guard against the processes of subordination / real subsumption of labor to capital and to what extent they differ from initial processes. Highlights the tendency of capital from its structural crisis, to use persuasive techniques and new management models about working under the discourse of participation and workers' autonomy, in order to capture worker's subjectivity. We emphasize that this discourse of autonomy tries so only mask the exploration and fit workers to the current logic of capitalist accumulation, marked by flexibility.
