Resumo: |
The samba schools are Brazilian peculiar organization and have been the focus of analysis in sociology and anthropology for decades. In the Organizational Studies context, this form of organization and their practices of organizing for producing the Brazilian carnival have been very little explored. Studying this world can contribute to understand how a popular organization performs organizational practices able to produce the macro-actor samba school, responsible for the parades that made the Brazilian carnival known worldwide. In this regard, the aim of this thesis is to investigate and analyze the practices of organizing of the parade production in a special division samba school in São Paulo, Brazil. For that purpose, I took as reference the work of organizing the harmony sector, whose activities are central in the production process of the parade. The thesis is in line with practice turn in the Organizational Studies, which assumes that the reality phenomena are local practices productions and take place through them and material arrangements in which human and non-humans are engaged in its constitution. Given these notions, I used to ActorNetwork Theory, an approach that provides an analytical repertoire able to help understand the social ordering process as the effect of a heterogeneous network of elements, in which diverse and conflicting interests are negotiated and a temporarily stability achieved. The fieldwork was conducted through ethnography methods in the harmony sector of the Vai-Vai samba school. During the research I made observations, interviews and gathered a set of documents regarding the parade production process. Taking my relationship with the subjects of the research as starting point, I analyzed the transformations in my identity throughout the research and the implications for the work. By following the actors and their practices of organizing I could identify the main spaces and the material arrangements in which such practices unfold and the set of controversies that are established around the various involved interests. In each of the spaces I (re)traced the elements of the actornetwork and showed how practices of organizing coexist with disorganization processes. This presented as a strong feature of the parade production practices. I discuss in the thesis that the practices of organizing occur through translation processes between the harmonies and several other human and non-human actors. I argue how the samba school boundaries are fluid and the dichotomies commonly used to analyze them hide a heterogeneous organization. I conclude that the practices of organizing consist of a series of actors (human and non-human) that translate their interests and constant efforts are made in order to stabilize the actornetwork in a persistent (re)constitution state. In conclusion I also emphasize that the non-human elements are active agents in the practices of organizing and in the fieldwork research and we should pay more attention to their presence. |
