Violência como fator de vulnerabilidade para a saúde de mulheres usuárias de drogas do centro do município de São Paulo / Violence as vulnerability factor for the women users of psychoactive substances in downtown area of São Paulo

Spiassi, Ana Lúcia 21 June 2016 (has links)
Com este trabalho buscamos descrever situações de violências sofridas e perpetradas por mulheres usuárias de substâncias psicoativas que se encontram em situação de rua na região central de São Paulo e identificar a percepção destas mulheres em relação à violência que sofrem. Utilizamos uma metodologia qualitativa de pesquisa baseada em entrevistas com um roteiro semiestruturado, organizadas através do Programa NVivo11-Starter e analisadas pelo conteúdo produzido. Os principais temas trazidos nestes encontros foram: infância, chegada na cena de uso de substância psicoativa da região central, vivência com outros atores do local (profissionais da saúde, forças de segurança, parceiros sexuais e afetivos, agentes do tráfico de drogas), avaliação sobre a especificidade da presença feminina naquele ambiente e expectativas. Todas as mulheres que entrevistamos foram e/ou são expostas à violência de parceiro íntimo, das forças policiais, da segurança do tráfico, dos homens usuários de drogas que coexistem na cena aberta de uso na região da Luz e não acessam serviços e ferramentas de proteção disponíveis contra violência de gênero disponíveis na cidade / This study sought to describe situations of violence suffered and perpetrated by homeless women users of psychoactive substances in downtown area of São Paulo and identify the perception of these women in relation to violence suffering. For this purpose used a qualitative research methodology based on interviews with a semi-structured guide, organized by NVivo11-Starter program and analyzed the content of reasoning produced. The main themes brought these meetings were childhood arrival in drug use scene, experience with other local actors (health professionals, security forces, sexual and affective partners, drug trafficking agents), evaluation of the specificity female\'s presence in the social environment and their expectations. All the women we interviewed were and / or are a victim of intimate partner violence, police, traffic safety, drug users men who coexist in the drugs open site of Luz district and do not access services and security tools available against gender violence in the city. The wealth of the stories brought by the women, with the challenges they face and the impact they may have on the health care offered to this women\'s group of women, indicate the need to analyze important aspects this study from a research base that is statistically 5 relevant to extend the knowledge and the ability to act for the improvement of the care offered

Positive and Negative Support Roles in the Social Networks of Vulnerable People

Aglipay, Mary M. O. 24 July 2013 (has links)
Introduction: Social networks have shown promise in curbing drug dependency and infectious diseases among marginalized populations. The purpose of this study is to elucidate how relationship strength in social networks is associated with risk behaviours for infectious diseases. Methods: Two reviews were conducted: 1) a systematic review exploring the association between risk behaviours and relationship strength 2) a review on the utilization of respondent driven sampling (RDS). We also analyzed network data to determine the association between recent injection drug use and recent crack use. Results: Our reviews revealed that few studies link relationship strength and risk behaviours; moreover, RDS is effective method of sampling from marginalized populations. Finally, our analysis demonstrated that close relationships are associated with drug use. Conclusion: “Close” relationships are important in arbitrating injection drug use and crack smoking. More research addressing the issues of using data from dynamic social processes and hard-to-reach populations is needed.

Moving house: the renovation of the everyday

Dawson, Louisa, Art, College of Fine Arts, UNSW January 2007 (has links)
This paper describes my research project and body of work, which investigates social inequalities through the different language and functions of everyday objects. The research moves on from my previous Honours research project on the dou ble nature of caravan parks in NSW and looked at the changing demographics of these locations. I noted the increase of semi-permanent, residential 'homes' for low income earners and the unemployed, in these holiday locations. This paper examines broader social issues of homelessness and social inequalities within our society. I look at the complexities in the definitions of homelessness and the ways in which people find themselves in the position where they rely on welfare agencies and government support. I also investigate different representations of homelessness by artists and other social commentators, ranging from the hopeless victim to the vagrant. This section locates my social concerns with the context of theoretical debate and artistic representation. I have used everyday and mundane objects in my artworks to discuss these social concerns. Everyday objects posses a language and commonality that is familiar to all members of society. This language is developed from the different historical, cultural and functional qualities that everyday objects possess. I discus this in relation to the development of the everyday object in artistic practices from the early 20th century to today. Of specifically importance to my practice is the influence of contemporary German artists and their manipulation of objects to make works with political and social content. Throughout this paper I have discussed individual art works which illustrate my social concerns and the practicalities of the everyday. Revealing how I juxtapose certain objects to question the uneven nature of travel and home, with regards to possessions and mobility. Additionally I challenge the normal functions of objects to reveal new absurd possibilities of use.

Muitos desses encontros ocorrem nas chamadas cenas de uso de crack, popularmente conhecidas como cracolândias. Dessa maneira, também joga-se luz sobre as relações tecidas com essa droga por parte daquelas pessoas que dela fazem uso, da equipe que busca atendê-las e de outras instituições que intervêm nessas cenas. Para tanto, utiliza-se a etnografia como meio para compreender os problemas que emergem desses diferentes encontros, principalmente aqueles em relação ao CR, ao crack e as outras instituições colocados pelas pessoas que habitam essas cenas. Tornase inteligível o funcionamento do CR, assim como o do crack e dessas outras instituições. Propõe-se, por fim, uma certa bioética capaz de enfrentar esse objeto de estudo / The object of this study is the encounter between a team of Primary Health called Consultório na Rua – CR (Office in the Street), whose objective is to facilitate homeless persons access to the other services of the Sistema Único de Saúde – SUS (Unified Health System), and those who may or may not become its users. Many of these encounters occur in the so-called crack use scenes, popularly known as cracolândias. Hence, we highlight also the relationships woven with this drug by those who use them, the team that seeks to meet these users and the other institutions involved in these scenes. Therefore, we use ethnography as a means to comprehend the problems that emerge from these different encounters, specially the ones related to the CR, the crack cocaine and the other institutions posed by the persons who inhabit these scenes. The functioning of CR becomes intelligible, as well as the functioning of crack cocaine and other institutions. Finally, we propose a certain bioethics able to face this subject matte

No. of bitstreams: 1 Kasper_ChristianPierre_D.pdf: 30366521 bytes, checksum: 7997711a0ede887c60e7b62fbdbd310c (MD5) Previous issue date: 2006 / Resumo: Esta tese apresenta um estudo da cultura material de moradores de rua na cidade de São Paulo sob uma dupla perspectiva: do habitar, enquanto modo de ocupação do espaço, criação de territórios e de uma tecnologia como forma ativa de relação com o meio urbano, caracterizada como bricolagem. O ponto de vista adotado encara os modos de existência dos moradores de rua como formas de vida possíveis, e não em termos de carência, remetida a uma suposta normalidade. Tomando o estado de constante exposição de si como traço distintivo da condição de quem mora nas ruas, seu enfoque está nas táticas mobilizadas para tornar a rua habitável, táticas que envolvem o questionamento prático das funcionalidades estabelecidas, tanto dos locais públicos ocupados quanto dos materiais descartados encontrados nas ruas da cidade / Abstract: This thesis presents a study of the material culture of homeless people in the city of São Paulo, following a double perspective: of dwelling, as a mode of space occupation and creation of territories, and of a technology, as an active form of relation to the urban milieu, characterized as bricolage. The point of view adopted contemplates the modes of existence of the street dwellers as possible forms of life, and not in terms of lack, refered to a supposed normality. Taking the state of constant self-exposure as the distinctive trait of the homeless condition, it focus on the tactics mobilized to make the street inhabitable, tactics which envolve the practical questioning of the functionality of both the occupied public places and the descarted materials found in the city¿s streets / Doutorado / Ciencias Sociais / Doutor em Ciências Sociais

No. of bitstreams: 1 Ciavatta_Hugo_M.pdf: 3270500 bytes, checksum: 09fa310d329ade53b1a1c67cd311e5da (MD5) Previous issue date: 2013 / Resumo: Apresento uma etnografia de intenção biográfica sobre pessoas em situação de rua na cidade de São Paulo. Frequentando a sede da OCAS (Organização Civil de Ação Social), que edita a revista 'Ocas" - saindo das ruas', exemplares vendidos por pessoas em situação de rua, trazendo as histórias de uma seção da publicação e encontrando regularmente Esmeralda do Carmo Ortiz, que em 2000 publicou "Esmeralda - por que não dancei", uma narrativa de sua vida, cuja maior parte ela vivera nas ruas do centro da cidade, procuro refletir sobre essas narrativas (auto)biográficas à luz da antropologia urbana. Inicialmente, procuro encontrar a abordagem biográfica em antropologia para as narrativas de vida que trago ao longo da dissertação. Em seguida, no primeiro capítulo, faço um percurso analítico que combina um recorte da antropologia urbana dedicada ao universo dos moradores de rua, em São Paulo, especialmente, em que aponto os usos que essa área faz de "biográfico". Nos capítulos seguintes, então, apresento a etnografia das narrativas (auto)biográficas. Primeiro, percorro as edições da revista publicada pela OCAS, especialmente na seção "Cabeça Sem Teto", dedicada às histórias de pessoas que estavam ou estiveram em situação de rua, e isso junto às histórias que conheci na própria instituição. Por fim, recupero a história de Esmeralda Ortiz, combinando sua narrativa autobiográfica registrada em livro com os encontros que tive com ela, refletindo sobre sua trajetória de vida / Abstract: This work is an ethnography with a clear biographical intent focused on the homeless people living in the city of São Paulo. Drawing, on one side, from visits to the office of OCAS (Civil Organization for Social Action), which publishes the magazine 'OCAS" - leaving the streets', copies sold by homeless; and, on the other side, from regular meetings with Esmeralda do Carmo Ortiz, who published "Esmeralda - por que não dancei", in 2000, a narrative of his life, most of which she had lived the streets of the city center, I reflect about these (auto)biographical narratives with a regard closed to the urban anthropology. First, I search for a biographical approach in anthropology to look to the narratives of life that I bring along the dissertation. Second, in the first chapter, I combine an urban anthropology approach to the world of the homeless pointing out the uses of the term "biographic" made in this area. In the following chapters, I present the ethnography of these (auto)biographical narratives. By doing that, I bring the stories that I found on the OCAS, as well as the narratives of the magazine, in the section "Cabeção Sem Teto", dedicated to the stories of people who lived or had lived on the streets. Finally, I retrieve the story of Esmeralda Ortiz, combining her autobiographical narrative recorded in the book with the meetings I had with her, reflecting about her life story / Mestrado / Antropologia Social / Mestre em Antropologia Social
