MOURA, MORGANA; GALINDO, DOLORES  e  MELLO, RICARDO PIMENTEL. Towards activist care practices: logic of harm reduction in Brazil. Rev. psicol. polít. [online]. 2023, vol.23, n.58, pp.708-723.  Epub 08-Jul-2024. ISSN 2175-1390.

This work argues in favor of Harm Reduction (HR) strategies as activist care practices. To this end, it presents a theoretical problematization of health care strategies triggered by HR policy, highlighting vectors of potency (moving life towards the fluidity of singular inventions) and crystallization (binding life in universal moralist traditions and submissive to capitalist modes). Two operators guide the problematization: (a) Activism, as a positioning that enhances the becoming of groups (Guattari, 1985) and banditry (Eric Hobsbawm, 2000); (b) Care, as a practice of estrangement from health regulations. To this end, this study is based on the contributions of the Philosophy of Difference and advocates the production of activism as care and care as activism, as a possibility of constructing other forms of political corporeality in the face of affective-political strategies of control.
