No exercício profissional, o assistente social intervém em situações que se referem à organização da vida e aos modos de viver em sociedade, identificando as necessidades sociais em saúde e realizando as mediações com as políticas sociais. Este artigo tem como objetivo analisar as condições materiais de vida e trabalho dos pacientes atendidos pelos assistentes sociais no serviço de transplante hepático do Hospital Universitário Walter Cantídio, em Fortaleza, Ceará. Trata-se de uma pesquisa de natureza quanti-qualitativa, construída a partir da experiência no Programa de Residência Integrada Multiprofissional em Atenção Hospitalar à Saúde vinculado à Universidade Federal do Ceará. Na coleta de dados recorreu à análise bibliográfica e documental de 65 entrevistas sociais realizadas com os pacientes na fase pré-transplante. Utilizou-se dos estudos teórico-empíricos relacionados aos determinantes sociais da saúde, agravamento da questão social e instrumentalidade do processo de trabalho do assistente social. Os resultados apontaram que as condições de vida e trabalho dos usuários são marcadas pela tensão entre capital e trabalho, que afeta os níveis de emprego e seus sistemas protetivos, o acesso aos direitos trabalhistas, à universalidade da saúde pública e da educação gratuita. Considera que a Seguridade Social, instrumento de cobertura de riscos e vulnerabilidades, deve compor uma agenda estratégica da luta. Nesta arena de conflitos, os assistentes sociais são desafiados a posicionar-se frente às contradições da ordem capitalista.

As an explanatory method in studies of social movements, analyses of collective action frames have generally focused on the variable efficacy of the frames of social movement organizations (SMOs)in the mobilization of potential participants. However, this work has for practical reasons used the acknowledged analytic simplification that SMOs only target potential participants–and not opponents, elite decision makers, or the media–when constructing their frames. To incorporate multiple targets into future studies of SMO frame construction, this paper expands on the idea of a multi‐organizational field. I propose that the characteristics of the targets in the field and the social structural and cognitive boundaries between them determine SMO frames. This perspective is demonstrated by analyzing changes in the collective action frames of SMOs in the religious pro‐choice movement from 1967 to 1992. I argue that this perspective may explain findings where a frame fails to "resonate" with potential participants–the frame may not have been created with them in mind.

The new policy advocated by the Eisenhower Foundation is well illustrated by the neighborhood, education, and employment opportunity extended to high-risk young people by the Dorchester Youth Collaborative in Boston. But such promising programs, and other state and local initiatives, require far more resources than they now are receiving from Washington. The challenges that lie ahead include continued deinstitutionalization of status offenders, reform of a correctional system in which minority youth are assigned to public institutions and whites are placed in private facilities, and effective control of handguns.

Résumé. Cet article jette un regard original sur les débats contemporains en Relations internationales (RI) à la lumière de la sociologie de Pierre Bourdieu. Sa riche théorie sociale permet d'établir des ponts entre les approches conventionnelles et celles qui sont issues de la mouvance critique en RI. Plus précisément, nous identifions six contributions que pourrait apporter une approche bourdieusienne. Sur le plan métathéorique, cette approche se caractériserait par une épistémologie réflexive, une ontologie relationnelle et une théorie de la pratique, trois axes qui s'inscrivent à la jonction des grands débats théoriques en RI. D'un point de vue plus centré sur l'application, la sociologie de Bourdieu permet l'étude de la politique mondiale en tant qu'imbrication complexe de champs sociaux, l'ouverture de l'État comme champ de pouvoir, de même qu'une meilleure prise en compte de la nature symbolique de la puissance.Abstract. This article takes a fresh look at current debates in International Relations (IR) in the light of Pierre Bourdieu's sociology. We argue that Bourdieu's social theory could help build bridges between conventional and critical approaches in IR. More specifically, we identify six contributions that a Bourdieusian approach can make. At the meta-theoretical level, such an approach would be characterized by a reflexive epistemology, a relational ontology and a theory of practice – three dimensions that address key theoretical debates in IR. On a more applied level, Bourdieu's sociology enables us to study world politics as a complex of "embedded social fields", to open up the state's field of power, and to factor in the symbolic nature of power.
