Abstract: Fortes constrangimentos limitam o potencial da política de Rendimento Social de Inserção para combater o ressurgimento da pobreza material e actual perda de coesão social. O direito à inserção é seriamente comprometido pelo crónico défice de oportunidades de emprego e o declínio do Estado-Providência. Todavia, a tradução do conhecimento científico sobre a exclusão económica, social e simbólica em modos de acção permite tirar partido da estreita margem de poder instituinte de que dispõe a intervenção local. A elevação do capital social e cultural dos beneficiários do RSI a fim de reformular o seu habitus e o retorno à formação a fim de adquirir trunfos efectivos para a vida profissional e social são os principais eixos da experimentação desenvolvida pela associação Qualificar para Incluir.
De fortes contraintes limitent le potentiel des politiques de Revenu Social d’Insertion pour lutter contre la pauvreté matérielle et l’actuelle perte de cohésion sociale. La concrétisation du droit à l’insertion est compromise par le déficit chronique d’emplois et le déclin de l’Etat Providence. Toutefois, la traduction de la connaissance scientifique de l’exclusion économique, sociale et symbolique en modes d’action permet de tirer parti des étroites marges de pouvoir instituant de l’intervention locale. L’élévation du capital social et culturel des titulaires du RSI afin de reformuler leur habitus et le retour à la formation comme ressource pour la vie sociale et professionnelle sont les principaux axes du dispositif experimental mis en oeuvre par l’Association Qualificar para Incluir.
Strong constraints limit the potential of the Social Insertion Income (SII) policy to fight the resurgence of material poverty and the current loss of social cohesion. The right to insertion is seriously compromised by the chronic deficit of job opportunities and the withdrawal of the Welfare State. However, by translating scientific knowledge of economic, social and symbolic exclusion into modes of action, it is possible to take advantage of the narrow scope of institutional power that remains in the scope of local intervention. Raising the social and cultural capital of SII beneficiaries in order to reformulate their habitus and promoting their return to training in order to acquire an effective asset for their professional and social life are the main axes of the social experiments undertaken by the association Qualificar para Incluir.
