Resumo: Neste ensaio, temos como objetivo discutir as formas convencionais de intervenção institucional direcionadas aos moradores de rua. Analisamos a relação dessa prática com uma determinada apropriação dos direitos humanos na contemporaneidade. A partir dessa análise, buscamos apontar uma possibilidade clínica no atendimento social tendo como fundamento a noção de sujeito concebida por Alain Badiou. Nessa perspectiva, avaliamos a viabilidade do exercício da cidadania por um ser que, em alguma medida, se encontra reduzido à sua condição animal. Por fim, visando a ilustrar e demonstrar a aplicabilidade dessa elaboração teórica, apresentamos a construção de um fragmento clínico.

These practices seem to be related to a certain contemporary appropriation of the human rights. From this vantage point, we present and discuss a clinical possibility in social assistance, which is based on the notion of individual as conceived by Alain Badiou. In such a perspective, it is discussed the viability of citizenship exercise by a human being that, in a sense, finds himself/herself restricted to animal condition. In order to illustrate and to demonstrate the applicability of such a theoretical construction, a clinical fragment is presented in the last section of the essay.
