Abstract EN:
The aim of this thesis is to examine current institutional mechanisms in a brazil's state education system. The author seeks to define the internal dynamics of a public institution, its characteristics and the type of individual that it educates. From the outset he deals with the affective references of the conflict-ridden system, as well as impulsive aspects from the institution's viewpoint. Also examined are the identity and the social and institutional construction processes. The author analyses the involvement of father-figures, bosses, the state, and their influence on the undermining of the individual. Thenceforth he sets out three basic institutional mechanisms that are in harmony with brazil's particular culture. Equally he analyses the questions of autonomy and authority which are directly or indirectly linked to guilt and punishment. The thesis is based on the perception of a professional training process through identification. Thus he demonstrates how an ensemble of set reactions furnish models that regenerate and determine the manner in which individuals interact within the institution and develop their exploration. Exploration that generates several styles of institutional relationship (mutual, unilateral and denial; the latter splitting, weakened relationship, guilt-provoking and idealized). Then stressing the distinction between individual and subject he establishes the demarcation between teachers and educators. From there he shows the collective reactions of the system in its communication process, and describes what he calls the "social syndrome of exhaustion". Finally the author develops the concept of citizenship as a symbol, and highlights its roots in ethics and in the state relationship process. The intermediary concept in the process of change bas been re-examined, underlining some of the methodological particularities responsible for blockages and resistance in face of change.
Abstract FR:
L'objectif de cette these est l'etude des mecanismes institutionnels existant dans un systeme educatif public au bresil. L'auteur cherche a definir la dynamique interne d'une institution publique, ses caracteristiques et le type d'individu qu'elle forme. En premier lieu, il aborde les references affectives du systeme pleines d'antagonismes, ainsi que les aspects pulsionnels sous l'angle de l'institution. Les processus d'identification et de construction des modeles sociaux et institutionnels y sont egalement etudies. L'auteur analyse les representations du pere social (leader/etat) et leur influence sur l'affaiblissement des individus. A partir de la, il elabore trois mecanismes institutionnels de base qui sont en consonance avec la specificite culturelle du bresil. Il analyse aussi la question de l'autonomie et de l'autorite qui sont directement ou indirectement liees a la culpabilite et a la punition. L'auteur fonde son etude sur l'apprehension d'un processus de formation professionnelle par le biais de l'identification. Il demontre ainsi comment un corpus de reactions instituees fournissent des modeles qui se reproduisent et determinent la facon dont les individus interagissent sur l'institution et construisent leur reconnaissance. Reconnaissance qui genere plusieurs modes d'appartenance institutionnelle, specifiques a l'univers etudie (affaiblie, culpabilisante et idealisee). Ensuite, il etablit la distinction entre individu et sujet, et montre des reactions collectives du systeme dans son processus de communication, qu'il nomme " syndrome social d'epuisement ". Enfin, il developpe le concept de citoyennete au niveau symbolique et met en evidence ses fondements lies a l'ethique et a la structuration du processus d'appartenance et de filiation a l'etat. Le concept d'intermediaire dans le processus de changement a ete reexamine en soulignant quelques specificites methodologiques responsables des blocages et des resistances face au changement.
