Public policies: imperatives and promises of social inclusion

This article proposes to analyze part of the results of a research that examines public policies for social inclusion, focusing on the implementation process, the services offered by the municipal departments of education, health and social development of a city in Rio Grande do Sul and the individuals that perform programmatic actions resulting from these policies. Based on the fields of Gender Studies, Cultural Studies and Sociology of Health, on the aspects that approach to Michel Foucault's post-structuralism, discusses imperatives and promises of social inclusion that contribute to establish responsibilization procedures of subjects both for the success or failure of the actions specified in these policies for social inclusion and the search for solutions to the problems they experience in everyday life throughout those services. It is also discussed that this discursivity institutes modes of work organization, as well as professional ways of doing.
