De direito operário a direito proletário: acumulação de capital e regulamentação do trabalho rural no Brasil (1930-1964)

Abstract

From the 1930s onwards, the labor market in Brazil was structured and normalized by promoting labor legislation, a process that opened space for the development of the industrialization process. However, these regulatory frameworks only had applicability to labor relations marked by urban wage earning, and work in the countryside began to undergo changes only in the 60s, representing a structural instrument for the rise and implementation of the functional arrangement to capitalist accumulation in our country. In this context, in this dissertation we associate the process of mechanization and industrialization of agricultural production with the expansion of the scope of labor regulation, functional to the recomposition of the processes of accumulation given in the country, given that until the 1960s, what we agreed upon calling it Labor Law only applied to female and urban industrial and commerce workers, and there was no need to speak of labor legislation aimed at agricultural work. At the same time, relating this labor legislation with the accumulation process, we will seek to identify the historical conditions of capital accumulation in the Brazilian reality and how the expansion, in order to contemplate the completeness of workers subject to the logic of wage-earning within the law of work, it fulfills in the social order.
