Trabalho, Educação e Saúde - TES (Work, Education and Health) is an open access scientific journal, edited by the Joaquim Venâncio Polytechnic School of Health, from Oswaldo Cruz Foundation.
This essay addresses the intentions and theoretical and political developments surrounding the use of the term 'exclusion' and its counterpart, inclusion. It addresses the conceptual statute of the expression 'social exclusion' and its association with a 'new social issue' and concepts such as citizenship and poverty. It points to the potential explanatory, transformative use of the concept of 'secondary expropriations' to reflect on the diversity of contemporary social situations that express the structural inequality of the capitalistic system. Additionally, it seeks to pinpoint the debate on issues that are linked with the notion of social exclusion, such as the end of the centrality of work, the new morphology of the working class, and the composition of the reserve army. It concludes by breaking down questions that update the demand for the deepening of fundamental Marxian categories.
