Assessoria extensionista a movimentos sociais no campo tecnológico: pesquisa participante com o coletivo de cozinheiras de uma ocupação de moradia

Abstract

This study arises from the participant research of approximately two years in the advisory extension in organizational management of the OTA / Soltec / NIDES / UFRJ Project to the Women's Collective Cookers at Solano Trindade / MNLM-DC occupation, being expanded, after this period and the premature end of the advisory action, for the investigation and counterpoint with the experience of advisory in management of the CaCi / Soltec / NIDES / UFRJ Project with the MST-RJ, as well as by the study of experience of NGO CAPINA, with leaders from different social movements. From this expansion as well as the collection of systematizations produced about the distinct advisory processes considered, we seek a dialogue between these experiences and also between them and the related literature, in order to identify the extent to which impressions, reflections and previous analyzes, conformed by the particular characteristics and traits of Solano Trindade and extension assistance to the Women's Collective, would be present and relevant in these cases. In other words, through theoretical-practical alternation between these concrete experiences, on the one hand, and the theoretical framework on participatory methodologies, university extension, Critical Theory Technology, technical advice and theory of social movements, on the other hand, we seek to contribute, both with discussions and learning, especially methodological, about the particularities of extension consultancy to associated work collectives linked to social movements, regarding for the generation of work and income, aiming to overcome the condition of vulnerability socioeconomic, which is experienced by occupation families, based on better-founded future practices and better suited to the reality of such collectives and their members. Finally, with this study, we intend to generate contributions for reflections about the approximation and the relationship between public university and social movements, effected, from the participatory work practices of extension consultants, in particular in the technological and in the current context of attacks and threats experienced by both actors. These reflections that should be a political instrument for technoscientific arguments against the approximation induced and increasingly acute, from the public university towards the entrepreneurial ethos and economic and financial purposes associated with a higher education and R & D market, widely encouraged by the State and booming.
