SCHUCMAN, Lia Vainer and GONCALVES, Monica Mendes. Race and Subjectivity: from the social field to the clinical field. Arq. bras. psicol. [online]. 2020, vol.72, n.spe, pp.109-123. ISSN 1809-5267. https://doi.org/10.36482/1809-5267.arbp2020v72s1p.109-123.
This article aims to address the different ways in which race and racism penetrate the social field and are singularly inscribed in the subjects. Otherwise, it intends, from the field of racial relations, to discuss the ways in which these systems, polysemic, multiform, mercurial and always in transition, are experienced, meant, appropriated and introjected by people and are incorporated into subjectivity, forming this construct. Taking reasoning and methodology from socio-historical psychology, ways of approaching racial issues are also considered in the clinical context of the psychologist's performance, based on the elements that the race itself and its dynamics point as a path towards its subversion.
