“…Sería coherente, además, incluir saberes explícitamente críticos. Por ejemplo, salud mental crítica (Cohen, 2018); psicología crítica (Pavón-Cuéllar, 2019), incluidas las tradiciones comunitarias y de la "liberación" (Kagan et al, 2011(Kagan et al, /2020Montero, 2004); psiquiatría crítica (Bracken et al, 2012); antropología de la salud crítica (Gamlin et al, 2020); análisis complejos sobre cultura y salud (Napier et al, 2014); críticas a la salud mental global (Mills, 2013;Summerfield, 2012); ecología política y ecofeminismo (Soliz, 2017); análisis post-estructuralistas sobre discursos "neuro" y "psi" (Rose, 2019); y -de vital importancia-cuestionamientos por parte de "usuarios" a propuestas tanto hegemónicas como críticas (Rose y Rose, 2023).…”

En la presente revisión teórica exploro posibilidades para la construcción de un paradigma de salud mental colectiva. Lo hago tomando distancia de miradas positivistas, funcionalistas, biomédicas e individualistas, y subrayando el rol fundamental de procesos de determinación social comprendidos de forma crítica, intercultural y transdisciplinaria. El procedimiento supuso una revisión exploratoria de fuentes tituladas “salud mental colectiva” (2016-2021) y la inclusión de publicaciones clave adicionales. Los resultados señalan la importancia de teorizar la salud mental de forma compleja y dialéctica, contextualizar ecológicamente los sufrimientos, accionar estrategias de bienestar y procurar reflexividad permanente en torno a la interculturalidad y las relaciones de poder. Las posibilidades exploradas resaltan el aporte esencial de la epidemiología crítica latinoamericana, en diálogo constante con otros valiosos saberes. Desde dicha construcción dialógica, un paradigma de salud mental colectiva emerge como una potente alternativa para abordar sufrimientos mentales en el contexto de sistemas sociales que nos enferman.

“…Such notions of wellbeing align closely with Indigenous ontologies of care. As I have noted elsewhere (Gamlin and Berrio 2020), theory in medical anthropology has been greatly influenced by collaborations with Indigenous activists and communities. Can we reframe global and public-health understandings of wellbeing around a more-than-human sociality?…”

Wixárika Practices of Medical Syncretism: An Ontological Proposal for Health in the Anthropocene

By understanding a community’s medical system, we are able to see its body ontology and how the people within it live in relation to the world, a historically constructed ideological position. Modernisation and development have restructured Indigenous communities and devalued traditional ontologies, including medical systems. This is a global pattern, where historical power relationships defined the coloniality of being and from this, organised healthcare, governance, and education in relation to patriarchal and capitalist universals. These social structures underlie the Anthropocene geological epoch and planetary crisis. Wixárika Indigenous communities live a polytheistic sociality; their medical system treats the spiritual origins of illness, attending to social cohesion in a society of humans, the supernatural, flora and fauna. This system is subalternised by dominant universals of biomedicine, which treat the body as separate from the environment and society. I refer to this epistemological inequality as the ontological Anthropocene. Wixaritari use both allopathic and traditional medical systems, following a non-hierarchical syncretic understanding of wellbeing. Giving equal importance to both systems may be a framework with implications for wellbeing beyond human health. This Research Article proposes that by centring Indigenous sociality that is more-than-human we can reconceive our planetary relationships in the broadest sense.

“…Based on ethnographic research, this Research Article seeks to analyse the embodied experience of toxicity among Uruguayan agricultural workers and rural inhabitants exposed to agricultural pesticides in transgenic soybean production. Building on the approaches developed in Latin American CMA (e.g., Gamlin et al 2020;Menéndez 2008Menéndez , 2018, I will attempt to open up the discussion on the experience of toxicity and structural vulnerability, and demonstrate how embodied inequalities in the environmental health of the Anthropocene are shaped by the politics of exposure.…”

Structural Vulnerability and Toxicity Experiences in the Uruguayan Soybeanisation Process

Fuelled by agribusiness, transgenic soybean crops, genetically modified to withstand pesticide use, have increased in use during the last 20 years in the Southern Cone of Latin America. Plantations are understood as examples of ‘modular simplifications’ in ‘patchy Anthropocene’ landscapes (Tsing et al. 2019), where the attempt to reduce diversity may have social and ecological feral effects as diseases and toxins spread. In Uruguay, as an agro-exporter country, soybean expansionist processes correlate with an increased use of pesticides. Based on an ethnographic study (2016–2018) carried out in the main Uruguayan agricultural region, this Research Article seeks to analyse the experiences of toxicity among agricultural workers and rural inhabitants in the soybeanisation context. I propose that pesticide effects transcend biomedical diagnoses of ‘intoxication’. I also contend that the experience of toxicity can be understood as occurring along a continuum in the daily life of sufferers, which encompasses chemical and biological processes, their affects, intersectional conflicts, lay concepts of illnesses, informal self-care networks, and unequal access to health services. This ethnography demonstrates that the experience of toxic suffering embodies inequalities in environmental health in the time of the Anthropocene and is shaped by structural vulnerabilities and politics of exposure.
