A teoria social de Guerreiro Ramos: a formação de um habitus sociológico na periferia do capitalismo
Abstract
This thesis has as its object of study the social theory of the Brazilian sociologist Alberto
Guerreiro Ramos (1915–1982), developed during the years 1935–1955. The main objective of
this thesis is to analyse the author's journey through the Brazilian intellectual field and show
how he formulated its social theory, both from the point of view of the social conditions and
from of the structure of meaning that organizes its concepts. From a theoretical-
methodological point of view, we use the concepts of habitus and social fields, derived from
the work of French sociologist Pierre Bourdieu, with a hermeneutic perspective of
interpretation of concepts. Our guiding hypothesis is that Ramos developed his sociological
theory, especially between 1946 and 1953, conditioned, on the one hand, by the metatheory
that the author adopted in his youth (between 1935–1943) and by his experience in institutions
such as the Administrative Department of the Public Service, Black People's Experimental
Theater (Teatro Experimental do Negro) and the Economic Advisory Office of the presidency
of the second Vargas government. Of special note in this process was the author's
confrontation with American sociology, especially that originating from the Chicago School,
disseminated and consolidated in Brazil by Donald Pierson. For this intellectual combat the
author used, in addition to the meta-theory of his youth, also the theories of blackness,
ECLAC developmentalism and German sociology. We concluded that the author's social
theory was structured as a sociology of knowledge capable of thinking about the imbalances of
rationalization processes in the periphery of capitalism and also capable of providing subsidies
for the individual to understand and overcome, within certain limits, their conditioning social.
