Abstract

The article aims to analyze the conception of democracy in the Brazilian Social Work from the 1980s. For this, a bibliographical research was carried out with two of the main periodicals of the Social Work of national circulation in the 1980s and 1990s, to understand the conception of democracy that stood out among the vanguards of the profession during the decades researched. It was found that the conception of democracy was giving rise to the defense of democratization as it consolidated the process of democratic transition. It was also possible to verify that the idea of democracy forged within the profession was like to the various social movements of these decades, which cooled with the election of democratic and popular governments and led to criticism by the very vanguard of the profession. In this sense, both the formulation of democracy as the only way to build socialism in Brazil, and the defense of democratization, demonstrated its inability to break with the status quo.
