Participação no quotidiano profissional: uma análise de um grupo de taxistas da praça Radisson Blu, na Cidade de Maputo

Abstract

The present research analyzes the participation processes of taxi drivers in the City of Maputo in the your professional daily life. From the analyzed literature on political participation this has been analyzed from two perspectives. The first analyzes participation centered on the State or in the relationship and between people and the State and the second analyzes the participation in the day-to-day people. The first perspective allows, on the one hand, to understand how the State establishes and exercise power in its relationship with society, on the other hand it remains to understand the participation of citizens in their interactions with each other in their daily lives. For your shift the second perspective if on the one hand it allows to perceive that people participate in the exercise of power in their day-to-day lives, on the other hand, does not explain how people participate in day-to-day work. In view of the limitations I made an ethnographic study from a group of taxi drivers in the taxi rank from the Radisson Blu hotel, where based on the ethnographic material I show cases of participation of taxi drivers in the elaboration of rules that govern the taxi rank, in the dismissal and election of the heads of the taxi rank. Unlike studies that analyze state-centered participation or the relationship between people and the State, in the present study I show the participation of taxi drivers as a group in the organization of the taxi rank in the day-to-day activities. The data from this study reinforce the idea of ​​participation in daily life based on narratives about the participation of a group of taxi professionals. (TRADUÇÃO NOSSA)
