\nBook by Nadya Araujo Guimaraes on unenployment is launched in France.\u00a0\u00catre ch\u00f4meur \u00e0 Paris, S\u00e3o Paulo, Tokyo – Une m\u00e9thode de comparaison internationale<\/a>,\u00a0authored Didier Demazi\u00e8re, Nadya Araujo Guimar\u00e3es, Helena Hirata and Kurumi Sugita, Presses de Sciences Po, 2013, 320 p.<\/p>\n

The condition of being unemployed is marked by the obligation to seek job, but this definition hides heterogeneous international realities.\u00a0 The aim of this book is to explore the diversity of meanings of unemployment: how the unemployed live and interpret their situation in Paris, S\u00e3o Paulo and Tokyo? Unemployment has the same meaning everywhere?<\/p>\n

The book traces the paths in which unemployment is experienced by men and women of different ages and social media in these three cities. This comparative approach identifies multiple scales of variation: International, with a universe of meanings common to the unemployed in the three countries; national, with the affirmation of reference models specific to each territory; and transnational, with overlap experiences with gender, age and social class, regardless of the country. Outcome of investigations by in depth biographical interviews and a new method of internationimprensa@esmp.sp.gov.bral<\/a> comparison, this book renews the knowledge on unemployment in a way as unique as exciting.<\/p>\n

NEW BOOK ON LABOUR AND SERCHING FOR EMPLOYMENT<\/b><\/a><\/p>\n

\n


\n<\/span>The experience of job seeking: interactions, experiences and meanings<\/a>, author Priscila Faria Vieira, Annablume Publisher\/CEM; Fapesp\/CNPq, 284 pages (in Portuguese). From the investigations carried out by the Centre for Metropolitan Studies (CMS\/INCT\/CEPID, this book looks into the act of job seeking via institutions of labor intermediation. The author develops an analysis assuming that the act of searching for a job cannot be reduced to an economic phenomenon, based on a rational calculus, which joins suppliers and demanders of jobs nor can be treated as simple strategic indicator of unemployment as certain sociology perspectives assume. On the contrary, the book shows that searching for a job is a social, moral and subjective experience and, in this sense, it becomes fundamental to understand the interactions as well as the everyday experiences lived by job seekers. The analysis was based on an empirical investigation conducted between 2005 and 2009 in downtown S\u00e3o Paulo city, specifically on Bar\u00e3o de Itapetininga Street with the highest spatial concentration of job agencies in the Metropolitan Region, which is the largest market for labor intermediation in Brazil. The analytical techniques included ethnographic observation, interviews with agents involved in the process and the analysis of documentation.<\/p>\n
