Economic determinist attempts to deduce specific political conclusions or strategies from Marx's general theory do not jibe with Marx's own extensive political activity. Instead, Marx's development as a political theorist and organizer passed from observation of (French Revolution, Chartism) or participation in (1848, the International Workingmen's Association) existing radical movements to formulation of new theories and strategies, and then to application of these strategies in subsequent movements. In applying his general theory to formulating strategies and historical explanations, Marx utilized a framework of mainly political auxiliary statements to define the specific international and national historical setting. Faced with the defeat of a strategy or a tension between the strategy and an older theory, Marx reformulated his theory in different ways, sometimes altering these auxiliary statements rather than the general theory to explain unexpected events, more rarely changing the general theory itself. These new explanations reinforced his strategies. This impact of political experience on Marx's thinking illustrates his famous definition, drawn from Theses on Feuerbach, of revolution as a "practical-critical" activity. Taken as a whole, Marx's new explanations underline the role of politics in historical materialism and conflict with Marx's general expectation that economic oppression alone would ultimately drive the proletariat to make socialist revolution.

Resumo O presente artigo objetiva debater os impactos e os desafios postos ao Serviço Social em face das transformações societárias no capitalismo contemporâneo que têm se refletido em todos os aspectos da vida social. A análise deste trabalho fundamenta-se na pesquisa bibliográfica através de revisão de literatura das obras de Paulo Netto, Guerra, Iamamoto e Souza. A partir das análises, evidencia-se que a crise do capital gera transformações, as quais têm demandado alterações societárias de todas as ordens e dimensões da vida social, de que não se têm esquivado as profissões, sobremodo o Serviço Social. A profissão se insere no processo de precarização tanto na formação como no exercício profissional, através de vínculos flexíveis, instáveis e, muitas vezes, destituídos de direitos trabalhistas e previdenciários. Constatam-se os ataques às políticas sociais, com a mercantilização, a seletividade e a focalização destas, bem como a reposição de práticas e teorias conservadoras, que têm achado terreno fértil à sua disseminação.

As mudanças sociais e tecnológicas ocorridas nos últimos anos exigem das profissões uma sensibilização sobre as temáticas voltadas à responsabilidade social. Repensar a formação do profissional bibliotecário, definindo um perfil que atenda aos diferentes grupos sociais e que esteja vinculada a responsabilidade social, nos leva a questionar: quais são os aspectos da responsabilidade social abordados durante a formação do bibliotecário? A partir dessa questão, analisou-se aspectos conceituais das bibliografias dos programas das disciplinas do curso de biblioteconomia da Universidade Federal do Ceará (UFC). Observou-se que a responsabilidade social foca a qualidade das relações para o crescimento da sociedade, tendo o profissional bibliotecário uma responsabilidade, como agente de transformador, no desempenho de suas atribuições na chamada sociedade da informação.

AbstractSocial reforms in Romania have been, from the beginning of the 1990s and throughout the EU post‐accession phase, the battlefield for many domestic and international actors. The article identifies, from an historical institutionalist perspective, the international actors who decisively influenced reforms of social protection in Romania during the transition, with a special emphasis on the EU pre‐ and post‐accession stages. Further, the article attempts to understand the impact of the various external influences on the sustainability and effectiveness of domestic reforms, by assessing the convergence, or the decoupling, between the rationales – i.e. ideologies and values – that explicitly grounded social reforms in Romania and the domestic public rhetoric on social risks and values. Answers to these questions can provide important insights in regard to both the impact of the EU upon new member states and the challenges of EU enlargement for the EU and its core member states.

In Europe and around the world, social policies and welfare services have faced increasing pressure in recent years as a result of political, economic, and social changes. Just as Europe was a leader in the development of the welfare state and the supportive structures of corporatist politics from the 1920s onward, Europe in particular has experienced stresses from globalization and striking innovation in welfare policies. While debates in the United Kingdom, Germany, and France often attract wide international attention, smaller European countries-Belgium, Denmark, Austria, or Finland-are oft

Depuis ses fondations dans les années 1940 en France, le travail social est traversé par une tradition clinique et psychanalytique qui irrigue les pratiques, les dispositifs institutionnels et les dynamiques de formation du secteur. Depuis 2007, ces logiques cliniques sont éprouvées par les réformes des formations en travail social, avec un risque de standardisation des pratiques professionnelles. À contre-courant des inquiétudes générées par l'universitarisation progressive des formations du champ social, Marcelo Ricardo Pereira – psychanalyste et professeur brésilien – témoigne de la nécessité d'articuler psychanalyse, clinique et travail social dans la formation et les pratiques des travailleurs sociaux.

"This book focuses on anti-oppression social work research through a collection of chapters that explore principles for engaging with communities, research in organizational contexts, and the importance of fluidity and practices of unknowing as guides for anti-oppression research. Through discussion of methodologies such as phenomenology, surveys, autoethnography, and critical arts-based methods, the authors provide insights about the application of these approaches to studies with marginalized populations and on a variety of social issues. Reflecting critically about these research frameworks, the authors invite readers to explore the complexities of research on topics such as whiteness, racism, trans experiences, as well as working within feminist contexts and institutional social service settings."--

The speed and uncertainty of environmental change in the Anthropocene challenge the capacity of coevolving social–ecological–technological systems (SETs) to adapt or transform to these changes. Formal government and legal structures further constrain the adaptive capacity of our SETs. However, new, self-organized forms of adaptive governance are emerging at multiple scales in natural resource-based SETs. Adaptive governance involves the private and public sectors as well as formal and informal institutions, self-organized to fill governance gaps in the traditional roles of states. While new governance forms are emerging, they are not yet doing so rapidly enough to match the pace of environmental change. Furthermore, they do not yet possess the legitimacy or capacity needed to address disparities between the winners and losers from change. These emergent forms of adaptive governance appear to be particularly effective in managing complexity. We explore governance and SETs as coevolving complex systems, focusing on legal systems to understand the potential pathways and obstacles to equitable adaptation. We explore how governments may facilitate the emergence of adaptive governance and promote legitimacy in both the process of governance despite the involvement of nonstate actors, and its adherence to democratic values of equity and justice. To manage the contextual nature of the results of change in complex systems, we propose the establishment of long-term study initiatives for the coproduction of knowledge, to accelerate learning and synergize interactions between science and governance and to foster public science and epistemic communities dedicated to navigating transitions to more just, sustainable, and resilient futures.
