Abstract

This article presents a bibliographic-documentary analysis of the theoretical-methodological foundations of the ethical-political project of Brazilian Social Work, its construction and materialization, as well as its current challenges. It was possible to perceive that, having an initial impulse from the Movement for the Latin American Reconceptualization of Social Work, the construction of a professional ethical-political project was only possible in the Brazilian scenario when the profession reached intellectual maturity, breaking with traditional conservatism, restructuring its theoretical-methodological framework and understanding oneself within social relations. Thus, the professional ethical-political project of Brazilian Social Work was historically consolidated in an unfavorable scenario, with the advance of neoliberalism, worsening considerably in the decades that followed after 1990. This is because, with the emergence of ultra-neoliberalism and its dynamics and complexity, new and more intense challenges are imposed in the material and ideological fields so that the ethical-political project of the category can prosper and remain hegemonic.
