Terceiro setor, educação e juventude: um estudo sobre as práticas da Instituição de Incentivo à Criança e ao Adolescente (ICA) de Mogi Mirim-SP
Abstract
The present work aims to identify and analyze the practical of the Institution of
Incentive to the Infant and to the Adolescent (ICA) of Mogi Mirim/SP, in what it has
contributed (or not) for the consolidation of the neoliberal project in course in our
country, and as that practice has influenced, and in which direction, for the formation of
its public. Inaugurated in 1997, ICA attends at the present 203 infants and youths
between 11 and 18 years. Like this, the research deals with the themes of the Youth and
of the Education in the interior of the practices of an educational institution that is, also,
a non governmental-organization and part of what being named "third sector". Initially,
was done a bibliographical lift and a literature revision for each one of the themes, what
supplied the parameters for the study proposed. Regarding the empirical field, were
utilized different strategies of inquiry, to know: documentary search in the institution
files, interviews with the social actors involved - administrative, educators and youths
attended - and participant observation. To the light of the authors studied, certified that
what been named as "third sector" participates of the reproduction of the social injustice
with a talk in defense of the benefectoring and an ideology of the 'social responsibility
generosity' that hides its functionality to the neoliberal State. In that context, the results
here presented show the charity practiced by ICA, that has one of its foundations the
adherence to the dominant ideology of the youths to which itself return: those arising
from the poor and popular extracts. The action of the institution, at the same time
guarantees some rights to the population attended, reproduces, of certain way, the
economic, social inequalities and inherent politics to the capitalist output way and our
structure social relations. Remain, of that way, the evidence of the "social question" as a
challenge for the construction of the citizenship and of the democracy in a classes
society.
