CAVAGNOLI, Murilo; MOTERLE, Raica and MORO, Eduarda. Homeless people: mapping an existential territory. Arq. bras. psicol. [online]. 2020, vol.72, n.2, pp.88-104. ISSN 1809-5267. https://doi.org/10.36482/1809-5267.arbp2020v72i1p.88-104.
Guided by the mapping method, looking for an understanding of the homeless people's expressions, a meeting schedule between the researcher and a homeless person was established aiming at analyzing the paths by which his flow of experiences agencies an existential territory, revealing the affections that provide consistency to such territory. Based in the field research and reflections anchored in Schizoanalysis and Critical Social Psychology, three axes of analysis were constituted: the path of being anomalous; Access to public policies; Relationship with others and perceptions related to being homeless. The data showed the existence of biopolitical ways for capturing singularities, coexisting with resistance and creation movements, and entangled to ethical-political suffering. In conclusion, this suffering deserves society and public policies attention that potentiate the relegated lives to the anomalous place of the border between human beings and animals.
