Abstract

VARGAS, Maricelly Gómez et al. Trelationships and daily practices of homeless people in Medellín, Colombia. Psicol. pesq. [online]. 2019, vol.13, n.1, pp. 33-41. ISSN 1982-1247.  http://dx.doi.org/10.24879/2018001200300478.

For this article we highlight the social relationships and daily practices of 16 street people who were interviewed in Medellin, Colombia, prior to an observation exercise and applying ethnography as a modality through which the results were described and analyzed. It is identified that the street population has consolidated as a group that has adopted social dynamics that characterize them and differentiate them from other population groups in relation to survival practices and how to relate to the context surrounding them, despite that some of them are also extrapolated to a broader social context. Finally, the consumption of psychoactive substances is transversal to the practices and relationships of these participants.

Keywords : Homeless People; Social Relationships; Daily Practices.
