| dc.description.abstract | This study addresses the fundamental socio-historical aspects that constitute recycling through the organized collectors from MNCR, as protagonists of instituting relationships and processes among the inequalities of social question that occur in the context of recycling of solid waste. This research was performed to deepen the study of the social question of recycling from its human, historical and instituting aspects mid a societal context in which takes space the integrated management of solid waste, from the force of the National Solid Waste Policy (PNRS). The theoretical perspective adopted for the research work is based on the concepts of the theory of collective action frames, the approach of the collective identity of Alberto Melucci, and the radical instituting imaginary perspective proposed by Cornelius Castoriadis. Putting in discuss these three theoretical contributions and interacting with the reflective methodology of Melucci can interpret in a rigorous way the strategic and instituting praxis that seeks to transform unequal and heteronomous economic, political and social relations into autonomous social relations and processes. These theoretical perspectives, in touch with the proposed methodology also allow to interpret and visualize the conditioning and limiting aspects of this praxis in relation to effective meanings present in the institutions of the state and market. The results confirm the thesis that the social question of recycling, thematized by MNCR, provides processes and instituting relations through the improvement of frames (ecological, social/sectoral and integrated) and the radical imaginary associated to the conformation a political ethical field, as well as to the strategic project of “Popular Recycling”. This study also lies in its last part, the heteronomous limitations conditioned by the institutions that are imposed on the autonomous imaginary of this movement. Such imaginary has in its constitution a magma of meanings that helps to improve the identity of this collective subject and to develop societal responsibilities shared on the generation and the final destination of solid waste. | en |
