VIEGAS, Moacir Fernando. Approximations between the concept of use of self and the theory of value of João Bernardo. Cad. psicol. soc. trab. [online]. 2013, vol.16, n.1, pp. 107-117. ISSN 1516-3717.

The investigations based on the ergologic knowledge show that the activity developed by workers is not reduced to a heterogeneous perspective, building, differently, initiatives which set practices and original social representations. Concepts as debate of rules and the use of self express how the social relations lived at work are pervaded by conflicts of practices and ideas in a permanent negotiation of the social being. However, regarding this discussion, it shows that the experience at work goes beyond the economic issue, it does not exclude it, as it is in this context that happens the argument for the use of self and also the debate of rules. Our intention in this article is to discuss the approximations between, in one hand, the category of value which is understood as a contradictory social relation, in which the workers fight to take ownership of the product of their own work and the capitalists fight to take the advantage over what they make, and, in the other hand, the debate of rules and values and use of self concepts. In some way, we propose ourselves a question about the ergologic theory on bringing contributions to it, focusing on an interdisciplinary and omnilateral approach of the experienced social practices in the relations with the product.

Keywords : The use of self; Debate of rules; Value; Ergology.
