The social representations (SR) of wear in teaching are investigated according to the dimensional
approach of Moscovici. Information was collected through interviews (N = 38) with a screenplay written based
on runs of successive evocations raised in the previous phase of research on the wear in teaching. The interviews
formed a corpus, analyzed for their contents with the aid of the software Alceste: the corpus symbolism pointed
out the missing class family, education and appreciation of the classroom. Analysis of the data reveals an RScentered recognition of teaching, moving between plans domestic, social and classroom.

The work of Maria Isaura Pereira de Queiroz has been influential in the understanding of social change in Brazil. Her analyses of the modifications, persistence, adaptations and resistance that have flourished in many spheres of social life provide elements for a reading of the social-anthropological singularities of current change processes that have gone on in the country since the 1950s. Based on an analysis in which the microsociological and macrosociological aspects are combined, she has not only drawn a sociological profile of some environments (rural neighbourhoods, for example), but also developed an approach that shows how Brazilian society has changed under increasing urbanization and industrialization - processes which create interactions, practices and specific contexts that are unique to Brazil and do not merely mirror the trajectory followed by other nations.

O crescimento econômico da década de 2000 permitiu ao Brasil recuperar a capacidade de gerar empregos, expandir a renda das famílias e reduzir as desigualdades. No entanto, desde 2011, a economia brasileira padece de uma dificuldade persistente em obter maior crescimento, devido à continuidade da crise internacional e à redução da taxa de investimento. Este artigo discute alguns dos desafios do crescimento brasileiro para alcançar uma distribuição da renda mais equitativa, tendo em vista a institucionalidade das políticas públicas setoriais, da infraestrutura nacional e do trabalho social.

From an analysis of the Habermasian argumentation carried out in his work "Knowledge and Interest" of 1968, which we worked on from the 1987 translation; and anchored in the works of the Brazilian philosophers Durão, published in his book "A crítica de Habermas à dedução transcendental de Kant" of 1996 and Hansen, in his article published in Revista Crítica, entitled "Os riscos da crítica da sociedade" of 1998, we reflect, in this article, about how Habermas rescues the Theory of Knowledge from the distorted way behaved by Comtean positivism, passing through Freud and Marx to recover it as a Critical Theory of Society. We present the advent of the Information Age and the accompanying communication facilities to present the model of Distance Education as an effective way of extending the reach of Social Criticism as a self-reflection that makes the knowledge as a critical instrument not only for the individual but also of society.

This study aims to present clinical practice under various work contexts, recently held from North to South of Brazil. The psychodynamic clinic of labour is characterized by the analysis of mental processes mobilized by the meeting between the subject and the impositions generated by the work organization five clinical practices are presented that are developed in laboratories of labor psychodynamics at the University of Brasilia (DF), Federal University of Amazonas and Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil. These practices provide a systematic methodology in labour clinic resulting in unique practices depending on the sociocultural and institutional reality of each studied category. The reported experiences show the demand diversity and the importance of the clinic listening of work suffering. The reports show that the distance between the prescribed and the true rules which triggers the suffering is also the researchers' tasks, requiring mobilization and creation of suitable alternatives in each reality. It also indicates the need for future studies to articulate other fields that contribute to deepen the use of listening devices. It seems a powerful reference for psychoanalysis. This articulation contributes to suffering's analytical listening and supports a construction proposal of an Analytical Clinic of Labour.

The objective of this article is to reflect the current conformation of Brazilian Social Security which permits the universalization of the same. Based on the protected and unprotected social concepts adopted by the National Council of Social Welfare (CNP), which reflects on the scope on social security to the socially unprotected. This is an exploratory study conducted by a normative framework of social security in Brazil. It is concluded that such concepts lead to an understanding of social protection where there is a complementary relation between the right to social security and social assistance without the possibily of universalization of this protection. The universalization requires not only inseparability and complementarity between the two polices – as well as the political, economic and social polices where work and the guarantee of social reproduction of individuals be taken as citizenships rights.

databases: DEDALUS, LILACS, MEDLINE and SciELO, based on the periods of
1995-2008. It is concluded that there is much to do. Should then reduce the gap
between rhetoric and practice, so that the QWL is not just another fad and will not
disappear before the first difficulty to be faced.
