Profissionais da saúde e militantes na Cracolândia paulistana: uma etnografia

Abstract

This master's thesis is the result of a research carried out in the territory known as Cracolândia, between 2018 and 2021. The dissertation rests on two main axes. The first is an ethnography based on participant observation with a team of health professionals structured along the lines of the Street Clinics, in the context of the municipal program Redenção, in effect since 2017. The second concerns the analysis of the actions and tactics employed by groups of activists and activists and their consequences for a "public arena" that is formed around the "public problem" of Cracolândia. By excavating fragments through an ethnography that seeks to dialogue with an increasingly fruitful research agenda and which has been established in the last two decades around studies on Cracolândia in São Paulo in the Luz neighborhood, this work aims to be another piece for the formation of a genealogical bricolage, notably in relation to the themes of health care and militancy.
