A efetivação da Política Nacional de Resíduos Sólidos a partir das contribuições de esfera pública em Habermas e Iris Young

Abstract

This master's research discusses how the following Habermasian categories: civil society (collects social pathologies and addresses them to the political public sphere) and public sphere (public space as an elementary social phenomenon) can combat the colonization of the world of life (culture, society and personality) by the system (market and bureaucratic-state structures) in the specific case of solid waste collectors in Pinheiro/MA. Poverty and its stereotypes are presented, in addition to dealing with aporophobia, the lack of the poor in the gears of social exchanges and the negative image that the poor have of themselves. The search for social justice, emancipation and autonomy for waste pickers permeates critical theory, whose principle is to diagnose the present time, analyze it and, finally, correct social pathologies, as well as institutionalize the public use of reason. As the collector does not have the rhetorical ability to insert himself in the public sphere through a pragmatic-argumentative discourse and demand compliance with the National Solid Waste Policy (Law 12.305/10), by the Habermasian model of deliberative democracy, his voice is translated into overcome the discursive rigor of Habermasian procedural democracy, paying attention to real speech situations to achieve equality in the field of discourse.
