Cartas desde los rincones de Chile para quienes se están formando en Trabajo Social

Abstract

In the context of the society of uncertainty, of the massive circulation of information and of the instantaneity of communications, which are shaping new virtual subjectivities, which forces us to broaden the notion of direct social intervention, from face-to-face relationships. Towards the inclusion of technosociability, those who work in the field of direct social intervention, send messages to future generations of social work professionals. These messages were obtained through qualitative research at the national level, which contemplated the development of life stories of such professionals. The sense of simplicity, friendship and affection, expressed in interviews with future generations of the profession, allows these messages to be assimilated to exemplary letters that respond to the master-disciple binomial and take the persuasive function as predominant function. This article gives an account of the values, professional traditions and orientations for action, offered by social work professionals who currently make up the student world of the discipline, in an increasingly reticular society.
