    ITINERÁRIOS TERAPÊUTICOS EM CONSTRUÇÃO: Aids, Biomedicina e Religião
    (Universidade Federal de São Paulo (UNIFESP), 2010-02-24) Pinho, Paula Andréa [UNIFESP]; Pereira, Pedro Paulo Gomes [UNIFESP]; Universidade Federal de São Paulo (UNIFESP)
    The following text is an ethnography of the therapeutic itineraries of people with HIV/Aids. The goal is to make an approximation of the relationship between health/illness and religion, from the assessment of therapeutic constructed and experienced. The idea that guides the study is that, although biomedicine holds the legitimate monopoly of therapeutic solutions, it does not constitute a single reference for thinking about them. Therefore, assuming the existence of numerous therapies, the objective is to map the joints that are established between the biomedical and religious solutions in context of the epidemic. The ethnography at the Centro de Referência e Treinamento in STD/Aids in São Paulo – a center that serves HIV-infected patients – has shown complex itineraries in which the subjects use a range of therapies and blend biomedical treatments and religious therapies. The ethnographic enterprise tried to follow these paths and verify how these people represent, articulate and experience these therapies. For the patients from this study, the relationship announced between the categories of disease and treatment does not separate the religious and biomedical therapies: instead, it was observed a continuum between the two healing practices. And those who circulate among them by promoting the articulation of their symbols make them in their therapeutic itinerary always suitable for further transformation.

    Itinerários terapêuticos: trajetórias entrecruzadas na busca por cuidados
    (UNESP, 2012-06-01) Pinho, Paula Andréa [UNIFESP]; Pereira, Pedro Paulo Gomes [UNIFESP]; Universidade Federal de São Paulo (UNIFESP)
    The general purpose of this paper is to present the therapeutic itineraries of HIV-positive people. These courses, consisting of unusual blends and compositions, reveal the complex ways in fighting HIV/AIDS taken by people who undergo therapies trying to restore or preserve health. Admitting the existence of numerous available treatments, we analyze the itineraries of therapies known as being of the religious type in their relation to the biomedical model. Ethnography revealed that the interlocutors do not separate the religious and the biomedical therapy on different levels. What stood out was the simultaneous interaction of the two solutions employed for the same purpose: health. It was possible to observe a therapeutic continuum, i.e., the options are not isolated; rather, they appear as consecutive parts that flow without clearly demarcated boundaries.

    Negociando curas: um estudo das relações entre indígenas e profissionais do Projeto Xingu
    (Universidade Federal de São Paulo (UNIFESP), 2014-06-27) Assumpção, Karine [UNIFESP]; Sarti, Cynthia Andersen [UNIFESP]; Universidade Federal de São Paulo (UNIFESP)
    A partir da análise das problemáticas envolvidas nas relações de negociação de cura estabelecidas antes e depois do Subsistema de Saúde Indígena do Sistema Único de Saúde (SASISUS) no Brasil, o foco desta dissertação recai sobre a relação existente, há quase cinquenta anos, entre os profissionais de saúde não-indígenas do Projeto Xingu, Escola Paulista de Medicina (EPM), atualmente parte integrante da Universidade Federal de São Paulo (UNIFESP), e as populações indígenas, principalmente os povos que vivem no Baixo, Médio e Leste Xingu. Assim, através de observações participativas em locais de ação do Projeto Xingu, tanto em São Paulo como na Terra Indígena do Xingu (TIX), além de entrevistas com os protagonistas, foi possível perceber como, no movimento concomitante de acessar seus códigos e incorporar alguns códigos indígenas, os profissionais ligados ao Projeto Xingu ressignificam a biomedicina, as políticas públicas em saúde e a formação biomédica. Ao experimentarem os valores e noções indígenas, se tornando branquígenas, os profissionais não-indígenas há mais tempo envolvidos nessa relação começam a enxergar o limiar entre salvar vidas e salvar (respeitar) a diversidade cultural, transitando de um a outro lado dessa liminaridade através do conceito ampliado de saúde e de bem-estar (cultural). Tornam-se, assim, mediadores políticos especialistas em problemas de comunicação (comunicose), “doença” endêmica em contextos interculturais como o da saúde indígena.

    Nem doente, nem vítima: o atendimento às lesões autoprovocadas nas emergências
    (ABRASCO - Associação Brasileira de Saúde Coletiva, 2009-12-01) Machin, Rosana [UNIFESP]; Universidade Federal de São Paulo (UNIFESP)
    This paper shows concepts and practices of health professionals regarding cases of self-injury. It is problematized the existent gap between professionals training based in the biomedical model and practices, in which are presented dimension not considered for biomedicine. The empiric reference is a public emergency hospital in the city of São Paulo. The qualitative nature study was developed by observing attendances, consults to medical records and interviews with health professionals. The underlying question is related to intelligibility model of the illness, based in the body as a privileged locus of care, and illness as accidental event. Contradictively, self-injury situations (suicide attempts, drug and alcohol abuse) are analyzed as intentionally events, consequence of a choice, implicating no identification of their authors as patients or victims of care.
