In this sense, the research started from the following guiding question: How do the policies of recognition, elaborated within the context of the "new capitalism", contribute to the consolidation of solidary relations? The materiality of analysis of this research will be derived from an empirical inquiry, with the data collected through a partially structured interview. In this research, giving voice to the beneficiaries of the Bolsa Família Program represents a direct contact with the world of life of individuals who are not recognized by society, listen to their version of history, their anguish and their dreams, seeking to analyze their productions the world of life. In this sense, this research is characterized as qualitative-quantitative, unfolded in two interwoven spheres: a) the first one composed by a bibliographical research, with literature review about the proposed theme; and b) the second occurred through empirical research, conducted through structured interviews, in two cities from the State Rio Grande do Sul: Pelotas and Roque Gonzales.
