Resumo de The Corrosion Of The Character (1)

In this brief series of three summaries I will look for to point the main topics of the book the Corrosion of the Character, whose authorship belongs the Richard Sennett, eminent North American sociologist, who makes in this workmanship a philosophical and sociological analysis of the globalization in the contemporâneidade. In the present relative summary apresentoos topical àprimeira has left of such workmanship. 1 - The new capitalism is marked by the global market. Another characteristic is the massive use of new technologies that become the life most dynamic compelling the people if to prepare for frequent changes, including job exchanges. The new form of the capitalism also if characterizes for the old taboo in addition - we can cite the biggest number of women who start to work, some even though with the sustenance responsibility of the home. However, the current capitalism brought indesejados effect, as the fear to lose the control of proper life, therefore the market each time more is motivated by the consumer, and, not to be stops backwards the companies, the autonomous worker, if they become in bigger degree subservientes the schedules of the people (customers). The fear of the loss of control mentions the time control to it. As other consequences of the new capitalism we can cite the emotional life that starts to be in 2º plain, the removal of the friends and decline of the traditional careers. The world if became more dynamic and the changes of job, or same of career during the more common life if they become each time. The market if becomes changeable as before never seen, passing each time more if to think about short term, reflecting this in the career, in the job? The companies if characterize for the ?force of the weak bows?, the job start to be of short term, have a lack of perspective of lasting commitment with the company thus generating a certain lack of institucional loyalty. The employees tend to be ?negotiable? as soon as discover that they cannot count on the company. At last, the previous world to the ?new capitalism? was more bureaucratic, previsible. The current one has the mark of flexibility and the dynamism, but also of short prazo.2 - For Diderot, the routine in the work was not degradante, in contrast, was equal to any another form of learning. Already Smith saw the routine of negative form, something degradante, source of mental ignorance for not making or lack of knowledge of as to make the change. The routine, therefore if became autodestrutiva because the workers lost the control on its proper efforts. In the current capitalism the routine starts to more give to place each time to the dynamism, however inside of this dynamism the routine exists: The routine of the lack of security in the job, of the uncertain future, the usual reevaluation of the career, and this ?dynamic routine? is so or more destructive how much to the routine under the point of view of Smith.3 - the creation of more flexible institutions is a form of the society to brighten up the negative side of the routine. Three elements of the modern forms of flexibility exist: Discontinous Reinvenção of the institutions, the flexible Specialization of production and the concentration of being able without centralization. The flexible specialization of the production nothing more is that a system of permanent innovation. The purpose is for each faster time in the market varied products more. It would be a form of adaptation to the permanent change and a form not to control this change. The necessary requirements that the organization must have to implement this technique are the taken fast of decision, high technology, rapidity in the communications and basically to have disposal to leave that the demands of external market determine the structure of the company, who obviously could be mutant to the flavor of the market. The concentration of being able without centralization is one modern technique to give freedom, but at the same time to keep the control very is used for work groups, companies with branch offices or agencies, etc. In the majority of the cases are imposed a goal to be reached and are given to freedom it group to reach this goal of the form that to find more convenient. Generally these goals are beyond what normally it would be alcançável and the control if gives through spread sheets or maps of accompaniment. However the control is given to the administrators of the company through information systems offering total control on ?the independent? acts of the group. 4 - The work if becomes unreadable in the flexible capitalism because it has loss of the identity of the worker, not of the worker, the person in itself, but of the diligent classroom in general way. It does not have emotion in the form ?to make?, the work it starts to be cold, it exists alienation and indifference as for the product of the work, the worker does not have more the domain of the process, does not know more the original craft what it causes weak identification with the work. Another observed aspect when the work if becomes unreadable is the lack of solidarity inside of the group, the work passes to be individualized, has minor exchange of emotions between the workers.
