O corpo divergente: uma análise da prática de autoescarificação em um adolescente.

Abstract

This work intends to investigate sociologically the production of meanings around the practice of self-scarification in an adolescent. Revisiting his memories and establishing links with his present, this research seeks to elucidate the meanings adopted in the practice of cuts and how this deviant body resolution that transcends the notion of bodily preservation denotes the intensity of a subject who inserted in a paradox transfers his pain and anguish over the form of scarification. The cuts in this research are read as survival and resistance strategies, in which our interviewee establishes, through the cut, a relationship of control and connection with himself and with the outside world, despite all the stigmas and precariousness in the process of social understanding, this body that deviates from all norms survives.
