Abstract

This project studies the spaces of social control of the Popular Participation System and Citizen of Canoas. This dissertation's goal is to analyse the pedagogical mediations and contracts established in the spaces of social control, of the system, highlighting the commissions responsible for public works of the Participatory Budget (PB), the County Health Council and the County Council of the PB, based on the identification of the possible meanings that are inscribed in the discursive reality, and that allow a better understanding of the organization of these social control tools in the PB and their relationship with a broader context, in which the Participatory Budget and language are situated. The investigation also relies on aspects of participatory research, having as a goal the dialogue with diverse sectors involved in the system. The dissertation is the result of the participation in different spaces of social control of the System of Popular and Citizen Participation of Canoas during the year of 2016. The results of the research are presented in two articles intitled: Social Control, collective recognition and education for citizenship in the Discourse of the System of Popular and Citizen Participation of Canoas; The discursive construction in the Participatory Budget as a pedagogical mediation. The first article pretends to reflect about how the spaces of social control contribute to the collective recognition as a process of education to citizenship. The second analyzes the communication contract of the different subjects in spaces of social control that demonstrate the pedagogical mediations. The results confirm the importance of the sense of collectivity in the spaces of social control in the process of education for citizenship through popular participation, revealing how the subjects involved utilize linguistic strategies aiming the success of the communication contract as a pedagogical mediation.
