WHAT CAN GROUPS DO IN PUBLIC POLICIES?

SCHIZOANALYTICAL CRITICISM AND PROPOSITIONS

Authors

Abstract

We analyze contributions of the schizoanalytic group device to the constitution of singularizations and collective movements in public policies, identifying practices that mobilize processes and exposing the potential of an ethical experience in the construction of psychosocial praxis. The research is theoretical essay and its methodology allowed to agency a cartographic reading. Its references outline a critical designation of social policies, connected to contributions by authors who discuss the schizoanalytic group process and by Spinozian ethics. Exploring the notions of tetravalence and transversality, we defend group as an ethical-political ethos, capable of composing ways of reframing and boosting creations by erecting a context that allows to affect and be affected, in the collective composition of experiments. Faced with the violent advance of neoliberalism, it is urgent to compose devices of resistance and creation in the face of the challenge of overcoming inequalities, ethical-political suffering and the abyssal fall to individualism.
