Resumo:
This work argues in favor of Harm Reduction (HR) strategies
as activist care practices. To this end, it presents a theoretical
problematization of health care strategies triggered by HR policy,
highlighting vectors of potency (moving life towards the luidity of
singular inventions) and crystallization (binding life in universal
moralist traditions and submissive to capitalist modes). Two operators
guide the problematization: (a) Activism, as a positioning
that enhances the becoming of groups (Guattari, 1985) and banditry
(Eric Hobsbawm, 2000); (b) Care, as a practice of estrangement
from health regulations. To this end, this study is based on
the contributions of the Philosophy of Diference and advocates
the production of activism as care and care as activism, as a possibility
of constructing other forms of political corporeality in the
face of afective-political strategies of control.
