Os limites da subsunção do trabalho intelectual no processo produtivo de software

Abstract

The principle of modern production is to combine modern production techniques, new knowledge, combined with increasingly sophisticated computerized development processes to increase production and processing continuous model itself. The Third Industrial Revolution, characterized by extreme specialization of intellectual labor and tendency to erase the borders between manual and rights, must be analyzed from the perspective of automation based microelectronics, its historical implications and consequences over production process. This paper aims to contribute to this discussion studying the codification of intellectual work from the creation of computing artifacts, or more specifically, the establishment of languages and computational methods that allow the broad process codification of knowledge, fruit of development and production of software for this purpose. The text makes the analysis of two separated types of intellectual work s subsumption. The first type, connected the emergence of the programming language, is characterized by the programmer framework to software tools aimed at the programming process. This activity is strongly linked to language programming methodologies and software development, is required to design the computer program in a process of creating software by software. In this type of production, the software assumes the role of design tool and develops a product that is also a software. In other words, the CAD / CAM systems are built from software tools within a development process marked by similar stages as the automated industrial production: design and implementation. The second type of subsumption is due to the product originated from the first type. Software developed for industry, such as CAD / CAM, allow both the planned design of industrial products and the objectified execution operated by automated machines controlled by software. The industrial software designed to run on machines automated are capable of reprogramming on factory floor through simplified interface in Computer Numerical Control - CNC, thereby expanding the activities of machine s operators and thus extending the boundaries of work in subsumption capital.
