VIECELI, MARIANA VANUZA and LOPEZ, LAURA CECILIA. Towards bodies in vertigo and gender equity in health: a cartography of female workers. Rev. psicol. polít. [online]. 2023, vol.23, n.58, pp.592-609. Epub July 08, 2024. ISSN 2175-1390.
We analyze the narrative experience of a cartographic research-intervention in problematizing gender with mental health workers, reflecting on 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 bodies-subjectiations, with discussions about gender and inter-sectionalities. We reflect from two positions of experience: first, we reflect on the production of bodies in vertigo, when the relational perspective of gender causes disaccommodation in dominant body-practices, causing deviations towards equity actions; and, in the second, we analyze invisibility and institutionalized silencing in bodies, with regard to the gender structure, to highlight the contemporary challenge to public policies related to the inclusion of gender themes in permanent health education practices.
