Resumo
The present doctorate assay is related to the syndical issue of our living days, and
searches for subsidiaries in order to begin answering the set of interrogations placed
on the theoretical debate nowadays through the Brazilian syndical experience study,
exemplified by the metallurgist in São Carlos - SP.
Deep transformations in the economical, political, social and cultural spheres mark
the contemporary world. This huge set of changes reaches the people s daily routine,
modifying their lives, objective and subjectively.
In face of this process of intense changes, it I common to hear that the State,
Politics, the Political Parties, Capitalism are in crisis, that is, they are facing severe
obstacles in order to follow ahead. In this context there has been an attempt for a
better understanding of what has been defined in the specialized literature, specially
in the Political Science, Sociology and Economy as the syndicalism crises: its
meanings and consequences.
Would the syndicate, considered throughout history as a social and political
representation and defense organization of the labor class, be today, loosing their
reason o existence and their function in the globalized capitalist system?
For this vital issue, searching to go beyond the interpretations which carryout
their analysis only towards the economic impacts, this work covers the cultural of the
labor class, using the experience concept for that purpose as wella as how E. P.
Thompson understands it: throughout the time, the demands each time more
privatized and sectorial lost of sight the political, emancipatory and collective sense.
