Abstract
BERNARDES, Anita Guazzelli and MARQUES, Camilla Fernandes. Existence narratives: from leprosy to Hanse's disease. Estud. pesqui. psicol. [online]. 2015, vol.15, n.spe, pp. 1291-1302. ISSN 1808-4281.
The article focuses on the existence modalities which are formed by the junction between leprosy and Hansen's disease. The analysis started from field narratives, which are the outcome of a research whose aim is the issue of the relations between epidemiological profile and health attentions. The field discussion is sustained by post structuralist concept tools and those tools from Actor Network Theory. The paper discusses the infamy which features the effects of policies which constitute the existence modalities produced by leprosy and Hansen's disease. From that, the article turns to consider other elements which are also part of a network between leprosy and Hansen's disease, but which build other forms of existence, another ontology.
