ROTATIVO SÃO LUÍS: Dinâmica de classificação dos guardadores de carro

Abstract

Analysis of discourses related to the process of classification and identification of flanelinhas who work in the public (and pay) system of rotative parking in São Luís Centre named Rotativo São Luís . The proposal of this research was to discuss what I call dynamic of classification of car guards, understood as the construction, by representatives of Car Guards Union, of classification and differentiation criteria between flanelinhas of the referred system, as well as the reasons and ways of employment of such criteria. I considered the process of classifying as capability of identify differentiations between individual and social groups, resulting, among other things, in unequal treatments or demands of behavior. In the interpretation of Pierre Bourdieu (1996, p. 110), this process would convert to what he calls social magic, once it would give existence to the nominated thing, establishing its borders and delimiting its limits.
