Diálogos com Benetton e Latour: possibilidades de compreensão da inserção social

Abstract

This essay aims to weave reflections around the theme of social insertion, walking through the construction of knowledge in occupational therapy, in its deal with persons immersed in issues related to social exclusion. These reflections are based on the Bruno Latour's work, a French sociologist, in particular his Actor-Network Theory, which seeks to unveil the action of human and non-human beings that leads others to act in the world; and on the propositions of the Dynamic Occupational Therapy Method, developed by Jô Benetton, a Brazilian occupational therapist, in her methodological framework to help people to act in the world. This essay aims to reveal points in which these two theoreticalmethodological proposals approach and can offer new possibilities to understand social insertion in construction, in the dynamic, fluid and unstable movement of the social, in processes that favor people´s participation in the construction of the collective, based on their way of being, doing and relating.

“…Para o MTOD, a(o) terapeuta ocupacional assume uma postura ativa na investigação do que leva o sujeito a uma posição de exclusão, com todas as informações que estiverem disponíveis (Marcolino & Benetton, 2013;Marcolino, Benetton, Cestari, Mello & Araújo, 2020). Tais informações compõem um diagnóstico que é situacional, pois posição e situação, são mutáveis.…”

“…Such people can also review their constructed meanings, and their actions and attitudes. Social insertion ends up being characterized as a process of expanding the target person's connections with his/her things and with people, so that there is positive recognition of the way the person is, does and relates in the social (Marcolino, 2019).…”

“…The management of emotions encompasses the occupational therapist's actions based on what s/he feels, to lead the other to act, to get out of her/his paralysis, many times, transforming such affections, so that emotions and positive feelings will be transported -from (the) therapist to the target person as an affection of believing in his/her development; and from the target person to the occupational therapist as the affection of those who want to learn and develop [...] (Marcolino, 2019).…”

“…Thus, we see approximations between the authors in the Being dimension, as both works with the conquest of awareness and creativity, and the affective experiments that this process demands -it meaningful occupation, or becoming into occupational therapy. Affectivity needs to be present in meaningful occupation and also in a social insertion -as objective, subjective and affective bonds, which favor the person to participate in common life (Marcolino, 2019). Affection is dealt with in the OPH by the Belonging dimension, and by the DOTM for relational procedures that seek changes in the individual's ways of relating and also those who live with him.…”

“…Being recognized for what s/he is and for what s/he does, for her/his ability to create her/his world can begin with the awareness offered by occupational therapy that allows the person to act in the world. However, for social insertion to happen despite all its instability (Marcolino, 2019), the social needs to recognize and respect the unique way of being, doing and relating to each person.…”
