A economia solidária enquanto estratégia de emancipação política : o “olhar” fenomenológico que o grupo mudar lança sobre seu processo de formação

Abstract

This research of Masters in Education deals with some experiences of confrontation labeled as “limit-situation” that are being constructed in a collective and selfmanaging way by actresses and actors at the so called "Baixada Cuiabana" area. It's central to understand how some people who participate of the Social Movement of the Solidary Economy perceive their own politic formation process and their production of knowledge built by and for the work itself. We work with the idea that the Solidary Economy is set as a political and pedagogical strategy, which has diverse meanings built in itself, both objective and material as much as subjective and incorporeal, aiming at possibilities of improvement in the quality of life of the people involved. The posture assumed towards this reality is one dialecticphenomenological, according to Maurice Merleau-Ponty in dialogue with the Popular Education by Paulo Freire. Taking part in several moments of the schooling process, either in the Regional Workshops, Seminars and Conferences, Meetings and Fairs, in the State and Country's Solidary Economy, either in meetings of the State Forum of Solidary Economy (FEES), in the Brazilian Forum for Solidary Economy (FBES) or of the Mato Grosso's Network for Socio-economy & Education (REMSOL), made possible for a definitive insertion into the studied reality, that can be considered sufficient for a qualitative phenomenological research. Thus, we consider the Ethnography and the Dense Description, according to Geertz, the best tools for having theoretical-methodological conditions to lead the interpretations. The vision of the researcher is a significant part in the political and historical, cultural and social understanding of the phenomenon. She is one of those people who search, through a necessary communion to the process of “giving birth”, a new form of establishing relationships in society, a different and possible world.
