Social occupational therapy: formulations by freirian references

The condition of women in our society has important implications in terms of hierarchy, asymmetry, discrimination, and inequality, limiting possibilities in the projection of life. Considering that being a young girl has implications that materialize in the experience of youth and in the dreams and projects that can be built at this stage, this research sought to understand dimensions of the lives of girls/women that are high school students that influence the projection of their lives, as well as the possible contributions of social occupational therapy in tackling this problem. For these objectives to be met, a participatory methodology was used, in the research-intervention modality, carried out in a public school, through the construction of a “Girls Club”, where Activities, Dynamics and Project Workshops were held. The results showed that social gender conventions permeate the relationship established between girls/women, their bodies and their daily lives; exposure to situations of violence since childhood and, when young, more evident in affective and/or sexual relationships; weaknesses and ruptures in family and friendship ties; consistent and protective support social networks, in particular, the non-recognition of the school as a component of this network; elements that permeate the construction of their life projects. It is discussed that social occupational therapy, through its social technologies, can contribute to confronting everyday problems resulting from the social construction related to being a girl/woman in expanding experiences with a view to autonomy and emancipation, as well as strengthening of support social networks and in confronting situations of violence.

“…Ademais, as narrativas das pessoas trans trazem elementos importantes que retomam aqui o que a terapia ocupacional social tomou como um dos eixos das ações: a cidadania (Lopes, 2016). Dentro dos limites da articulação de espaços pautados na justiça social, na sociedade capitalista, a cidadania tem se consolidado com uma possibilidade importante para os terapeutas ocupacionais sociais, marcada por uma intencionalidade (Farias & Lopes, 2021) mais ampla de justiça -na ideia revolucionária, mas sendo utilizada nos seus limites. Como afirmam Bezerra et al (2022, p. 11, grifos dos autores), é essencial que os profissionais "[...] possuam clareza da intencionalidade das suas ações, alinhando seus projetos profissionais a projetos societários intencionados e direcionados à transformação necessária do status quo".…”

Terapia ocupacional social e justiça social: diálogos a partir das demandas trans

2023

Resumo A proposta central deste texto é apresentar reflexões balizadas pelo conceito de justiça social para a terapia ocupacional social a partir das demandas trans levantadas por meio de uma pesquisa que, com base na história oral e técnicas etnográficas, objetivou compreender como pessoas trans constroem e/ou mobilizam, ao longo de suas histórias de vida, estratégias de enfrentamento das condições de marginalização vivenciadas em seus cotidianos, configurando determinados modos de vida. Compreender essas histórias aciona um debate importante no campo da justiça social para a terapia ocupacional social que, para nós, dialoga com a ideia de justiça articulada por Nancy Fraser, baseada em uma concepção que mira à redistribuição econômica e ao reconhecimento simbólico. A aposta que fazemos quando utilizamos essa proposição nos parece potente, sobretudo por oferecer, na sua fundamentação, leituras acerca das desigualdades sociais e dos caminhos possíveis de afirmação de existência. Por isso, se a práxis da terapia ocupacional social propõe articular técnica e politicamente o campo social, é necessário o entendimento dos múltiplos modos de vida, sobretudo das contradições que envolvem essas realidades, dentro daquilo que diz da subjetividade, da história, da cultura, das relações políticas, entre outros elementos que desembocam no cotidiano das pessoas, para se pensar/fazer, junto, possibilidades e caminhos de/para se viver melhor, a partir das negociações sociais.

“…Furthermore, the narratives of trans people bring important elements that return here to what social occupational therapy took as one of the axes of action: citizenship (Lopes, 2016). Within the limits of the articulation of spaces based on social justice, in a capitalist society, citizenship has been consolidated as an important possibility for social occupational therapists, marked by a broader intentionality (Farias & Lopes, 2021) of justice -in the revolutionary idea, but being used within its limits. As stated by Bezerra et al (2022, p. 11, authors' emphasis), it is essential that professionals "[...] have clarity of the intentionality of their actions, aligning their professional projects with intentional corporate projects aimed at the necessary transformation of the status quo".…”

Social occupational therapy and social justice: dialogues based on the demands of trans populations

Melo

Farias

Lopes

2023

The main purpose of this text is to present reflections guided by the concept of social justice for social occupational therapy focusing on the demands of trans individuals brought up through research based on oral history and ethnographic techniques that aimed to understand how these people build and/or mobilize, throughout their life histories, strategies to face the conditions of marginalization experienced in their everyday lives, configuring certain ways of life. The understanding of these histories triggers an important debate in the field of social justice for social occupational therapy that, for us, dialogues with the idea of justice developed by Nancy Fraser, based on a conception that aims at economic redistribution and symbolic recognition. We consider that this is a powerful proposition, mainly because its foundation offers readings about social inequalities and possible ways of affirming existence. Therefore, if the praxis of social occupational therapy proposes to combine the social field technically and politically, it is necessary to understand the multiple ways of life, especially the contradictions that involve these realities, including the subjectivity, history, culture, and political relationships, among other elements in the everyday lives of people, to think/do together possibilities and ways to live better, based on social negotiations.
