Empreendemos pesquisa descritiva no condomínio residencial “Projeto Viver Celso Garcia CPV”, localizado no bairro do Belenzinho, zona leste da capital paulista, tendo aportes da antropologia (etnografia) e epidemiologia descritiva como principal meio para melhor compreensão de nosso objeto de estudo. As entrevistas permitiram complementar a coleta de dados. Entrevistamos 16 moradores e um informante-chave não residente, por meio de formulário adaptado a partir de Peluso & Blay (2008), Lipp (1999), Holmes & Rahe (1976) e Cohen et al (1983). As entrevistas foram realizadas durante o segundo semestre de 2009 e a análise e tratamento no primeiro semestre de 2010. As respostas foram categorizadas interpretadas com base na adaptação da técnica de “Análise de Conteúdo” de Pondé et al 2009) e Minayo (2007). A etnografia foi fundamentada nos conceitos de Georges Canguilhem em sua obra “O Normal e Patológico” (2009) e os dados epidemiológicos foram pesquisados nos bancos de dados a partir do SIAB - Sistema de Informações da Atenção Básica. A abordagem etnoepidemiológica possibilitou encontrar, no caráter polissêmico e multifacetado do estresse, uma predominância de sensações polarizadas entre os descritores “frustrantes e gratificantes”, evidenciando enfrentamentos diferenciados dependentes dos modos de andar a vida. Permitiu também perceber estresse enquanto “fidelidades ou infidelidades” associadas à relação totalidade orgânica individual-meio de acordo com a produção de normas individuais ou coletivas que modulam os modos de andar a vida, segundo conceitos de Georges Canguilhem. O estudo mostrou-se adequado como recurso para compreensão da capacidade e necessidade de produção de normas em sistemas complexos como os que estão envolvidos na síndrome geral de adaptação e as desordens adaptativas nas condições urbanas de morar e viver. / This study investigated the perception that the residents of a condominium in the city of Sao Paulo have about their stress and life conditions, with the goal of establishing a critical reflection based on a ethnoepidemiologic proposal. We employed descriptive research on residential condominium called "Projeto Viver Celso Garcia – CPV” in the district of Belenzinho, east of the state capital, with contributions of anthropology (ethnography) and descriptive epidemiology as the main means for better understanding our object of study. The interviews allowed us to complement additional data collection; held with 16 residents and a key non-resident informant, using a questionnaire adapted from Peluso & Blay (2008), Lipp (1999), Holmes & Rahe ( 1976) and Sheldon Cohen et al (1983). The interviews were conducted during the second half of 2009 and the analysis and treatment in the first half of 2010. The responses were categorized and interpreted based on adapting the technique of "content analysis" in Pondé et al (2009) and Minayo (2007). The ethnography was based on the concepts of Georges Canguilhem in his book "The Normal and Pathological" (2009) and epidemiological data were based on research to databases from the SIAB - Information System of Primary Care. The approach allowed ethnoepidemiologic find in the multifaceted and ambiguous character of stress, a predominance of polarized feelings among the descriptors "frustrating and gratifying" showing different ways dependent on the ways of walking life. It also allowed us to see the stress as "faithfulness or unfaithfulness" associated with “individual organic whole – environment” according to the production of individual or collective norms that modulate ways of walking life following ideas of Georges Canguilhem. The study was suitable as a resource for better understanding of the need for capacity and production of norms in complex systems such as those which are involved on the general adaptation syndrome and adaptive disorders in urban conditions of living as well. / TEDE / BV UNIFESP: Teses e dissertações

ALBUQUERQUE, Kelly Moreira de. Investigação epistemológica sobre as dualidades conceptuais normal/patológico e saúde/doença em Freud: uma perspectiva lewiniana. 2012. 122f. – Dissertação (Mestrado) – Universidade Federal do Ceará, Programa de Pós-graduação em Psicologia, Fortaleza (CE), 2012. / Submitted by Márcia Araújo (marcia_m_bezerra@yahoo.com.br) on 2013-11-25T13:13:52Z No. of bitstreams: 1 2012-DIS-KMALBUQUERQUE.pdf: 1155745 bytes, checksum: 8316916ef6742d4e73993b755c02eaea (MD5) / Approved for entry into archive by Márcia Araújo(marcia_m_bezerra@yahoo.com.br) on 2013-11-25T13:50:38Z (GMT) No. of bitstreams: 1 2012-DIS-KMALBUQUERQUE.pdf: 1155745 bytes, checksum: 8316916ef6742d4e73993b755c02eaea (MD5) / Made available in DSpace on 2013-11-25T13:50:38Z (GMT).

By means of Kurt Lewin’s epistemological perspective, we seek to know how these dualities could correspond to Galilean and Aristotelian ways of scientific thought. Having evidenced that Freud had shown an oscillation between the modes of scientific thought, we have sought, through Freud’s own works, some indication which would help as a supplementary Galilean reference. We considerate, then, that Freud’s view on plasticity and adhesiveness of libido present the idea of a continuum between the two phenomena. That is, instead of opposing them in the way of the Aristotelian dichotomies, Freud has dialectically connected them as dualities and series of phenomena which show internal and continuous variation among themselves. This testifies the existence of some phases of transition between normality and pathology and health and disease. Once Freud had only conceived but never formalized his idea in epistemological terms, we have tried to do this. By means of Canguilhem theory life normativity and the differences between normality and health as well as abnormality and pathology, we have found out that: (1) the above mentioned dualities correspond to the Galilean way of thought; this occurs mainly when Freud refers to neurosis; Freud conceived them as a series of phenomena that show internal and continued interconnection. (2) Despite the difference between their fields of reference, the logic found in Freud is somewhat comparable to what Canguilhem attributed to life normativity. / Trata-se de uma investigação sobre as dualidades conceptuais saúde/doença e normal/patológico em Freud. Mediante a perspectiva epistemológica de Kurt Lewin, buscamos saber o quanto estas dualidades expressariam o modo de pensamento galiléico e o que há do modo aristotélico. Ora, uma vez que Freud oscilou entre as duas formas de pensamento, procuramos, no seu próprio texto, algumas indicações que pudessem servir como referência galiléica suplementar. Consideramos que ao falar sobre plasticidade e adesividade libidinais, ele teria estabelecido um continuum entre estas categorias em relação: em vez de opô-las em dicotomias aristotélicas, ele as teria conectado dialeticamente como verdadeiras dualidades ou séries de fenômenos que compreenderiam uma variação contínua entre si. Tal justificaria o reconhecimento de que fases de transição estariam sempre presentes entre a normalidade e a patologia, e saúde e doença, respectivamente. Supondo que Freud tenha apenas raciocinado mediante tal lógica, não chegando a formalizá-la epistemologicamente, tentamos formalizá-la com a ajuda do que Canguilhem expôs sobre a normatividade de vida e as diferenças entre normalidade e saúde e, anormalidade e patologia. Verificamos que (1) as dualidades acima referidas expressam amplamente o modo de pensamento galiléico, mormente quanto às neuroses; ele as concebeu como séries de fenômenos que compreendem uma variação contínua entre si. (2) Apesar da distinção entre seus campos de referência, a lógica que descobrimos haver em Freud é algo comparável com o que Canguilhem atribuiu à normatividade vital.

Farmer suicide is at crisis levels in the United States and India. This crisis is both a problem of experiential knowledge within infrastructure as well as a problem of discourse power. I argue that the logical abstraction required to conceptualize and evaluate farmer suicide cannot be separated from the overall experience of farmer suicide. Rather than existing as distinctly separate phenomena, these elements are co-constitutive. Despite the Centers' for Disease Control identification and designation of farmer suicide as complex, statistically relevant, and elevated, nearly all the policy efforts addressing farmer suicide focus on narrow economic impact and narrow economic relief. While these economic vectors are important, the problem is multifaceted and requires a broadening of policy discourse to include additional factors (e.g. philosophical, existential, psychological, etc.). Using Hannah Arendt's work on politics and the human condition, I connect the conditionality of homo faber (human fabricator/maker), animal laborans (laboring animal), and vita activa (active life) with farmer struggle and suicide. Through the work of Georges Canguilhem and Achille Mbembe, I critique and analyze the predominant discourse and framing of suicide as a disease. Last, but not least, I propose decolonial theory and degrowth theory as viable critical pathways to shift the scale of farming infrastructure towards a more equitable and just future.

Earth Matters examines the relationships between alternative religion in North America and the natural world through the twin lenses of the history of religions and cultural anthropology. Throughout, nature remains a contested ground, defined simultaneously the limits of cultural activity and by an increasing expansion of claims to knowledge by scientific discourses. Less a historical review than a series of fugues of thought, Earth Matters engages with figures like the French vitalist, Georges Canguilhem, the American environmentalist, John Muir; the founder of Deep Ecology, Arne Næss; the collaborators on Gaia Theory, James Lovelock and Lynn Margulis; the physicist and New Age scientist, Fritjof Capra; and the Wiccan writer and activist, Starhawk. These subjects move in spirals throughout the thesis: Canguilhem opens the question of vitalism, the search for a source of being beyond the explanations of the emerging sciences. As rationalism expands its dominance across the scientific landscape, this animating force moves into the natural world, to that protean space between the city and the wild and in the environmental thinkers who initially moved along those boundaries. As the twentieth century moves towards a close, mechanistic thinking simultaneously reaches heights of success previously unimagined and collapses under the demand for complexity posed by quantum physics, by research in genetic interactions, by the continued elusive relationship of mind to health. This allows the wild to return inside through the internalization of consciousness sparked by the American New Age, but also provides a new model to understand the natural world as complex zone open to a wide variety of strategies, including the multiplicities of understanding offered through contemporary neopaganisms. Earth Matters argues for the necessity of the notion of ecology, both as an environmental concern but also as an organizing principle for human thought and behavior. Ecologies are by their nature complex and multi-variegated things dependent upon the surprising and unpredictable interaction of radically different organisms, and it is through this model that we are best able to understand not only ourselves but also our communities and our efforts to make sense of the external world.

This dissertation addresses a challenge facing Michel Foucault’s conception of systemic power, a challenge I call ‘the problem of organization.’ Foucault argues that power is exercised through systems (‘dispositifs’) that are made up of various elements, such as institutions, procedures, techniques, and discourses, that co-operate in the execution of strategies of mastery and control. However, this view gives rise to a question: What accounts for the organization in purpose and function exhibited by systems of power, such as the criminal justice system or the public health apparatus, if the strategies they put into operation are not consciously arranged or centrally coordinated by any specific person or group? I argue that Foucault answers this challenge by conceiving such systems as technological, drawing on accounts of technology found in the work of Georges Canguilhem, Martin Heidegger, and Friedrich Nietzsche. Foucault holds that this organization emerges not in accordance with a conscious plan, as in a conspiracy, nor through an evolutionary process, as in an organism, but instead, like in a technology, through the decentralized coordination made possible by the production and circulation of knowledge.
