Brazilian carnival is synonymous with national identity, together with football, a sport for the crowds, and on both lies the complex task of building the seductive image of the mastery of making shows that mainly marks Rio de Janeiro as a cultural and tourist center. The general objective was to analyze the carnival service providers' imaginary about HIV prevention. The present work had as specific objectives to identify the socio-educational profile of carnival service providers and to analyze the meaning of the words HIV and HIV prevention for these service providers. In this research, we sought to identify what is going on in the imagination of people working in the Rio carnival when it comes to the themes of HIV and HIV prevention. The study of the carnival service providers' imagery about HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus) prevention is relevant in that it will make it possible to establish a profile of this population, based on the studied dimensions of the HIV prevention imagery and, consequently, it can provide the dimensioning of the educational actions necessary to consolidate this practice in this population. Results were obtained through data collection, in order to substantiate the conclusion and achieve the objectives with resolutions of the research problem.
<p>Fruto de una investigación de reflexión, este artículo se propone a recorrer la historicidad de la homosexualidad en la cultura, así como las representaciones sociales advenidas del campo simbólico, que promueven, a través del lenguaje, las más variadas atribuciones de valores al comportamiento humano. Partiendo de las representaciones en la Grecia Antigua, donde el placer tomaba la escena, aunque con reglas, atravesando el estatuto de pecado, en la Edad Media, hasta llegar a la categoría de enfermedad, según la atribución diseminada por el discurso médico del siglo XIX, nuestro recorrido desembocará en la despatologización de la homosexualidad, promovida por Sigmund Freud, con la publicación de <em>Tres ensayos de teoría sexual</em>, obra que subvierte la noción de sexualidad y promueve un nuevo mirar para el sujeto e sus elecciones. Por fin, con base en el discurso heterosexista actual, que condena las nuevas formas de representación social de la familia, censurando la creación de hijos por parejas homosexuales, tenemos como objetivo dilucidar, a partir de las enseñanzas de Jacques Lacan, las diferentes funciones, materna y paterna, desconectadas de cualquier diferenciación anatómica necesaria a la asunción de un sujeto de deseo.</p>
Com base no esquema óptico, proposto por Lacan para identificar a formação do eu na constituição do sujeito, esta pesquisa teórico-clínica levanta a seguinte hipótese: a rotação do espelho plano desvela a fragilidade do eu. O espelho plano introduz, na formação do eu, a alteridade que parte da concepção do Outro em Lacan. Como Freud já havia conceituado, o eu é uma superfície advinda do investimento libidinal a partir da relação do infans com o Outro, substituindo-se à experiência original do corpo despedaçado. Todavia, tal despedaçamento não desaparece no engodo produzido nessa substituição, e quando se desvela, pode lançar o sujeito na angústia. Nossa vinheta clínica visa provocar a discussão que o percurso teórico advindo dessa questão suscita: quando a angústia — como sensação do desejo do Outro —, emerge para, o sujeito espatifando a imagem; ou melho, como diz nosso jovem sujeito, “espaguetificando” o eu.
O presente trabalho visa a apresentar alguns fragmentos do documentário produzido a partir da pesquisa de Iniciação Científica “A transexualidade e o estranhamento do corpo”, que conta com o apoio do Programa Institucional de Bolsas de Iniciação Científica, e as possíveis articulações com a psicanálise no que tange aos discursos sobre o estranhamento do corpo, aos recursos à mudança de sexo, à escolha do parceiro e à representação do que é ser homem e do que é ser mulher.
J. Chick Jr.’s case is paradigmatic when it comes to the hard time establishing differential diagnosis. He has been a heavy drinker and drug user since adolescence, and was hospitalized in psychiatric institutions several times, as well as had a vast collection of diagnoses he identified himself to. Based on what he calls his lack of identity, Chick Jr. gives significant importance to diagnoses capable of identifying him and of telling who he is. This lack of identity, which is experienced as non-existence – sometimes he says that he is dead – unfolds into a sexual identity that brings him a lot of suffering. We know that individuals are not defined by their diagnosis, even when it sometimes calms them down. In any case, differential diagnosis is extremely important to help mental health professionals manage patients’ treatment; it is what the current study aims at showing, based on the herein reported case
