Psicologia socill de adorno: resistência à violência do mundo adminsttrado / Psicoogía sociall de adorno: resistencia a la violencia del mundo administrado / Adorno' social ppsychology: resistance to the violence in the administered world

O objetivo deste ensaio é analisar o potencial político da psicologia social de Theodor W. Adorno; refletir sobre sua capacidade de opor resistência à violência típica do mundo administrado, cuja dimensão psíquica regressiva, semelhante à que serviu de sustentação para a instauração do horror nazifascista, nos impulsiona a investigar os atuais mecanismos psicossociais de dominação responsáveis pela integração dos indivíduos regredidos a condições de existência manifestamente contrárias à preservação racional da vida. O método adotado para esta análise consiste na ênfase no objeto desta psicologia social - desindividualizados átomos sociais pós-psicológicos - e na atualização de seu modelo de crítica. Conclui-se que a continuidade dos mecanismos de integração psicossocial responsáveis pela interceptação do processo de individuação repete a violência totalitária: a aniquilação do indivíduo autônomo. Diante dessa tendência histórica funesta, a psicologia social de Adorno impõe-se como práxis: convertendo-se em resistência à barbárie...

The objective of this paper is to analyze the political potential of Theodor W. Adorno's social psychology, i.e., its capacity to resist in the face of the typical violence of the administered world. The current psychosocial mechanisms of domination, responsible for the integration of the regressed individuals to conditions of existence clearly contrary to the rational preservation of life, are to be understood in this paper. The adopted method for this analysis consists of the emphasis on the subject of this social psychology - post-psychological de-individualized social atoms - and on the update of its critique model. It is concluded that the continuity of the mechanisms of psychosocial integration responsible for the interception of the process of individuation replicates the totalitarian violence: the annihilation of the autonomous individual. Before this tragic historical tendency, Adorno's social psychology imposes itself as a praxis: it converts itself into resistance to the barbarousness...

Community Integration and Quality of Life in Aphasia after Stroke

PURPOSE: To examine community integration and contributing factors in people with aphasia (PWA) following stroke and to investigate the relationship between community integration and quality of life (QOL). MATERIALS AND METHODS: Thirty PWA and 42 age-and education-matched control subjects were involved. Main variables were as follows: socioeconomic status, mobility, and activity of daily living (ADL) (Modified Barthel Index), language function [Frenchay Aphasia Screening Test (FAST)], depression [Geriatric Depression Scale (GDS)], Community Integration Questionnaire (CIQ) and Stroke and Aphasia Quality of Life Scale-39 (SAQOL-39). Differences between aphasia and control groups and factors affecting community integration and QOL were analyzed. RESULTS: Home and social integration and productive activity were significantly decreased in the aphasia group compared to the control group; 8.5 and 18.3 points in total CIQ score, respectively. Amount of time spent outside the home and frequency of social contact were also significantly reduced in the aphasia group. Total mean score on the SAQOL-39 was 2.75+/-0.80 points and was significantly correlated with economic status, gait performance, ADL, depressive mood, and social domain score on the CIQ. Depression score measured by GDS was the single most important factor for the prediction of QOL, but the FAST score was significantly correlated only with the communication domain of the SAQOL-39. CONCLUSION: Community activities of PWA were very limited, and depression was highly associated with decreased community integration and QOL. Enhancing social participation and reducing emotional distress should be emphasized for rehabilitation of PWA.

Identidad y equipamiento en colectivos biosociales: una lectura semióticomaterial / Identity and equipment in biosocial collectives: a material-semiotic

La biosocialidad hace referencia a modos de identificación personal y colectiva que se definen a partir de un rasgo biológico. Diversas investigaciones, que han abordado formaciones sociales de este tipo, han exaltado cómo en los procesos de interacción con entidades socio-técnicas la identidad de los actores involucrados se ve redefinida. En este trabajo se analiza las implicancias de la participación en colectivos biosociales para los humanos involucrados, desde la teoría del actor-red. En tal sentido, se describe cómo la identidad en estos espacios se comporta como una composición que implica la asociación de elementos heterogéneos, que articulan un humano a una serie de entidades que permiten transformar la definición de sí mismo. De esta manera, se adquieren significados que amplifican el espectro de acciones posibles al enfrentar la incertidumbre de la enfermedad. Empleando el término de equipamiento, descrito por Foucault y rescatado por Rabinow, se considera que la participación en entramados biosociales incide en la adquisición de nuevas capacidades para enfrentar escenarios de incertidumbre. Un equipamiento consiste en un continuo de acciones orientadas a un fin práctico que implica la preparación para hacer frente a contextos diversos, a partir de la asociación a entidades heterogéneas...

Biosociality refers to modes of personal and collective identification that are defined from a biological trait. Diverse investigations that have addressed social formations of this type, have exalted how through interaction processes with socio-technical entities, the identity of involved actors is redefined. In this paper are analysed the implications of participation in biosocial collectives to the humans involved, from the actor-network theory. In that sense, it is described how in these spaces the identity behaves as a composition, involving the association of heterogeneous elements which articulate a human to a number of entities that can transform the definition of the self. Also, are acquired meanings that amplify the spectrum of possible actions to face the uncertainty of the disease itself. By using the term of equipment, described by Foucault and rescued by Rabinow, it is considered that participation in biosocial weaves affects the acquisition of new skills to deal with scenarios of uncertainty. An equipment consists in a continuum of actions aimed to a practical purpose involving the preparation to deal with different contexts, from the association to heterogeneous entities...
