Descripción
Sumario:This material presents an analytical research about knowledge and its influence on the construction of collective work on the recyclable waste pickers’ network of the Brazilian state, Ceará (CE). The activities developed by the waste “pickers” are important to the environment and society, but are discriminated and marginalized by society. This study aims to analyze if the formal knowledge level of the recyclable waste pickers influence in their choice for collective work on a pickers’ network. Based on the main theoretical about the discussed theme, such as Gonçalves (2005), Piaget (2007), Quirino (2010) and the Law 12.305/2010, relationships were analyzed among knowledge, cooperation, the network and the “pickers”. The methodology is based on the systematic approach combined with a qualitative research on a case study. The data was collected with the managers and the recyclable material pickers through semi structured interview. From the results it was revealed that the adherence to collective work is not related the formal knowledge obtained by waste pickers, since they have almost no schooled knowledge.JEL-Code | J21; QR3; R10.
