This research arises from studies of women's management practices from the place of self-management within the scope of the Feminist Solidarity Economy Network (Resf) and, therefore, the term feminist practices of self-management was developed throughout the research, considering the practices that are performed in the Solidarity Economy (ES). The objective of this research is to identify and analyze one of the feminist practices of self-management observed in the field: the development of collective and networked learning. The main theoretical contributions used to mediate the discussion are based on studies of feminist management practices, on the perspective of substantive rationality, on studies on organizational learning and the post-colonialist view that adheres to the context of women in the SE. The data collection was implemented based on thematic oral history in semi-structured interviews with women from Resf and direct and indirect field observation between the years 2018 and 2021, recorded in field diaries. The perspective adopted for data analysis is critical discourse analysis. The results point to the following findings: (I) no hierarchization of the organization of learning practices; (II) intense exchange of information inside and outside the network based on reciprocal ties; (III) a form of learning that prioritizes experiences with a system of activities in which knowing is not separated from doing. For the women, knowledge is integrated and distributed in the life of the community, which necessarily requires the involvement that comes from the sense of belonging and mutual care that unites them.
Purpose – The research aims to discuss substantive rationality in the context of Solidarity Economy (SE) and women's self-management practices in the Solidarity and Feminist Economy Network [SFEN], based on the voices of women themselves.Design/methodology/approach – The research uses an exploratory and qualitative, from the perspective of thematic oral history. It is a search for representativeness of other forms of organization through otherness and a post-colonial view of the Administration.Findings - The productive groups of women of the SFEN are configured as substantive organizations. Under the self-management paradigm, reveal an alternative way of producing and commercialization, bringing together the dimensions of work and life in order to allow the construction of an inclusive economy, which could be alignment with the enclave “isonomy” of Guerreiro Ramos.Research limitations/implications – As an exploratory study, it was not possible in this article go deepen the gender issue in the daily practice of women in the productive group.Practical implications – The use of the self-management paradigm in an inclusive economy situation presents these production groups with a real alternative to understanding themselves as active participants in the economy.Social implications - The study brings the reflection of the participants of the productive groups about their active position in society, generates a self-assessment of their activities, serving the analysis also as an opening for reassessments and reapplications of the self-knowledge process of such groups.Originality/value – There is a gap in management research discussing solidarity economy, self-management, feminist organizations and substantive organizations by Guerreiro Ramos.

Resumo Esta pesquisa surge dos estudos das práticas de gestão de mulheres a partir do lugar da autogestão no âmbito da Rede Feminista da Economia Solidária (Resf) e, por isso, desenvolveu-se ao longo da pesquisa o termo práticas feministas de autogestão, considerando-se as práticas que se performatizam na Economia Solidária (ES). O objetivo desta pesquisa é identificar e analisar uma das práticas feministas de autogestão observadas em campo: o desenvolvimento da aprendizagem coletiva e em rede. Os principais aportes teóricos articulados partem estudos sobre práticas de gestão feministas, da perspectiva da racionalidade substantiva, dos estudos sobre aprendizagem organizacional e a visão pós-colonialista que adere ao contexto das mulheres na ES. A coleta de dados foi implementada a partir da história oral temática em entrevistas semiestruturadas com mulheres da Resf e observação direta e indireta em campo entre os anos de 2018 e 2021, registradas em diários de campo. A perspectiva adotada para a análise dos dados é a análise crítica do discurso. Os resultados apontam para os seguintes achados: (I) não hierarquização da organização das práticas de aprendizagem; (II) troca intensa de informações dentro e fora da rede baseada nos laços de reciprocidade; (III) uma forma de aprendizagem que prioriza as experiências com um sistema de atividades no qual o conhecer não é separado do fazer. Para as mulheres, o conhecimento é integrado e distribuído na vida da comunidade, o que requer necessariamente o envolvimento que advém do sentimento de pertencimento e cuidado mútuo que as une.
