Abstract

The purpose of this article is to discuss the main concepts developed by Antonio Gramsci and his influence on Brazilian social service in the twenty-first century. It calls attention to the construction and affirmation of a professional political culture in social service that is focused on rights. It concludes, based on a bibliographic review, that Gramscian thinking is important to social service in Brazil by bringing to light the idea that there are disputes between “professional cultures”, a conservative political culture and another constructed under the influence of the Marxist tradition.
