Itinerações terapêuticas e processos de alcoolização: dinâmicas entre cuidados, controles e sofrimentos sociais.

Abstract

This ethnography analyzes the alcoholization processes (MENÉNDEZ, 1982; 1991) and the care itinations (BONET, 2014) from the field insertions next to the Offices on the Street, a project developed by the Ministry & Municipal Health Department with a Harm Reduction approach , and the Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) mutual aid groups, with an Abstinence approach: both in the city of João Pessoa / PB. Essentially, participant observation was developed with the objective of understanding how these attention models are constructed. In this perspective, these ethnographic fronts, in addition to promoting "entrance doors" for the execution of this research, could give me the opportunity to meet with alcoholic subjects in the respective contacts with diverse therapeutic actions. The activities of control and care for alcoholization were thus analyzed in their perspectives of movement. Intuitive to show the discourses, regulations, practices and their agencies, I will present the sociocultural conjunctures of these processes, fundamentally because empirical associations operate from the multiplicity of flows and strategies and produce, at the same time, distinct arrangements that aim to produce lifelines.
