BARBOZA PEREZ, Maribel. De actores cooptados a actores suprimidos: Desde Burawoy a la teoría crítica de la gerencia . Revista Venezolana de Gerencia [online]. 2007, vol.12, n.37, pp.50-65. ISSN 1315-9984.

This article analyzes the thesis of Michael Burawoy as to the relation conflict- consent. The theoretical axis is contained in the concept of “the game of making out”. This refers to the possibility of contingent actions on the part of “actors” who apparently have a potential actuary in order to display autonomous strategies. This argument implies an epistemological turnabout within the discussion of the work process which attempts to detach itself form the structuralism associated with Marxist cannon and orient itself towards a central visibility of the daily labor subjectivity of the actor. The argumentative discourse of the author however obliquely exposes this visibility: labor actors are now presented as subedited to games produced instrumentally, in a reason arrangement of the productive conversion of the “endemic conflict” of capitalism, by think-workers or meta-organizers of production. Herein is registered a useful theoretical discontinuance that is incorporated within the explicative framework of the Critical Theory of Management. This return to the concept of Buraway games, continues to construct explicitly the representation of actors as produced subjects.
