VIEIRA, Luis Carlos Nunes  and  TITTONI, Jaqueline. Between images and words: the Community Health Agent as artisans. Pesqui. prát. psicossociais [online]. 2015, vol.10, n.1, pp. 115-128. ISSN 1809-8908.

This article discusses images created by Community Health Agents (CHA) about their work. Operating with intervention research, produce images that show certain statements that produce subjectivity in the work of these subjects We adopt a photographic intervention, understanding that the statement also passes by the look. Starting from the imagined to reveal multiple meanings, we took the image as a device that operates to transform to know. The work was developed in the family health teams in the city of Porto Alegre, Brazil, between the months of June 2012 and February 2013. Yet when problematized like a need for collective knowledge production, integrating every day and technical knowledge, the image of the "craftsmen" was considered very significant. The "craftsman" produces work creating something new in the articulation between technical knowledge and experience and resembles greatly on the work of community health workers.

Keywords : Community Health Agents; Image; Ethics; Subjectivity Modes; Work.
