Disposições para crer sobre o sindicalismo: um estudo com juízes do trabalho no sul do Brasil.

Abstract

The present thesis is about the acting southern Rio Grande do Sul labor judges’ dispositions to believe concerning syndicalism and the syndicalist movement. From the starting point that the magistrates belong to a social group keepers of specific capital, the intent of this thesis is to show the process of the judicial elites’ socialization, through their constitutive dispositions, inside and outside their professional universe. For such, this study helps identify intellectual and cultural regularities of these judges, observing their opinions about relationships between syndicates and corporations and their qualifications regarding social and political positions in the State. In order to do that, there was use of the theoretical-methodological referential of Pierre Bourdieu and Bernard Lahire about habitus constitutive dispositions of the socialized individual construction, establishing similarities and differences between the concepts developed by these authors. In this sense, the labor judges acknowledges syndicalism as integrating part of capitalism’s social contradictions, in which the Judiciary emerges incontestably ending conflict resolutions, granted its objective intellectual conditions and its law classification and nomination power. Six semistructured interviews were realized with the magistrate, and each one was approached as a study case, beginning from their individual trajectories. The reconversion of capital acquired by the judges didn’t prove to be very diverse in this sample, as they tend to protect the judiciary system and conserve the hierarchical structures in which assent, defending the democratic relation between syndicates and corporations and basing themselves in normative criteria in which they see themselves as capable impartial mediators for conflict resolution.
