By bodies in vertigion and for gender equity in health

workers in cartography

Abstract

We analyze the narrative experience of a cartographic intervention research in the problematization of gender with mental health workers, reflecting on the social dynamics and their subjectivation processes in a Child and Youth Psychosocial Care Center (CAPS IJ) in southern Brazil. The cartographic methodological approach used workshops for the collective construction of knowledge. The problematization articulates local theories, about the production of subject-body, and the discussions about gender and intersectionality. We reflect from two positions of experiences: in the first, we reflect on the production of bodies in vertigo, when the relational perspective of gender causes dislocations in dominant body-practices, causing deviations towards equity actions; and in the second, we analyze blindness and institutionalized mutism in bodies with regard to the gender structure, to point out the contemporary challenge for public policies related to the insertion of the gender theme in the practices of permanent health education.
