Mestrias antigas e posições analíticas: a psicanálise à luz de Michel Foucault / Ancient masteries and analytical positions: psychoanalysis in the light of Michel Foucault / Maitrises anciennes et positions analytiques: la psychanalyse a la lumiere de Michel Foucault

Com o intuito de correlacionar Foucault e a psicanálise lacaniana, analisamos parte de seu pensamento final, voltado para as mestrias antigas, e lançamos luz à questão atual da posição do analista. Nosso embasamento consiste principalmente no curso ministrado em 1982, publicado como L'Hermèneutique du Sujet, que se endereça significativamente à discussão da função terapêutica da filosofia - recorte histórico-metodológico que lança Foucault a algumas análises do tempo presente, entre as quais encontramos breves referências à psicanálise. Apesar de pequenas, pensamos que tais menções realizam aberturas importantes para o diálogo entre a filosofia e o campo psicanalítico. Além disso, retomamos secundariamente passagens de outros cursos e conferências da década de 1980, nos quais o filósofo nos oferece ferramentas importantes para pensar o papel e as modalidades históricas da relação dialógica voltada para a cura, ou, em outros termos, para a relação entre o sujeito e a verdade.

In order to correlate Foucault and Lacanian psychoanalysis, we analyze part of his final thought, focused on ancient mastery, and shed light on the current question of the psychoanalyst's position. Our basis consists mainly of the course taught in 1982, published as L'Hermèneutique du Sujet, which significantly addresses the discussion of the therapeutic function of philosophy - a historical-methodological approach that launches Foucault to some analyzes of the present time, among which we find brief references to psychoanalysis. Despite being small, we think that such mentions provide important openings for the dialogue between philosophy and the psychoanalytic field. In addition, we secondarily comment on passages from other courses and conferences from the 1980s, in which the philosopher offers us important tools to think about the role and historical modalities of the dialogical relationship focused on healing, or, in other words, on the relationship between the subject and the truth.

Pour relier Foucault et la psychanalyse lacanienne, nous analysons une partie de sa pensée finale, centrée sur les maîtrises antiques, et nous passons la question actuelle de la position de l'analyste. Notre base est constituée principalement du cours enseigné en 1982, publié sous le titre L'Hermèneutique du Sujet, qui aborde de manière significative la discussion de la fonction thérapeutique de la philosophie - une approche historico-méthodologique qui lance Foucault à certaines analyses du temps présent, parmi lesquelles nous trouver de brèves références à la psychanalyse. Malgré leur petite taille, nous pensons que de telles mentions offrent des ouvertures importantes pour le dialogue entre la philosophie et le champ psychanalytique. De plus, nous reprenons secondairement des passages d'autres cours et conférences des années 1980, dans lesquels le philosophe nous offre des outils importants pour penser le rôle et les modalités historiques de la relation dialogique centrée sur la guérison, ou, en d'autres termes, sur la relation entre le sujet et la vérité.

O paradoxo da escuta analítica / The paradox of the analytical listening / La paradoja de la escucha analítica

O presente artigo aborda o paradoxo da escuta analítica, partindo do pensamento de Foucault, usado como ferramenta para pensar uma clínica na resistência, o que abre novos horizontes para o manejo da clínica psicanalítica na contemporaneidade. A psicanálise trabalha com um a um. Como lidar com a singularidade do sujeito, sem deixar de levar em conta o grupo identitário ao qual ele pertence, com problemáticas que lhe são próprias e que o distingue no coletivo? Como escutar o coletivo/individual inerente em cada narrativa do sujeito? A prática psicanalítica inspirada em Foucault é um processo de descoberta das sujeições que cercam e cerceiam nossa vida, visando provocar uma queda de certo saber de si. O sujeito é capaz de dizer não a constrangimentos históricos, o que lhe permite desprender-se de si mesmo e não afirmar uma identidade. O conhecer para desconhecer-se e transformar-se. Uma perspectiva ética se abre aqui, isto é, a elaboração de uma forma de relação consigo mesmo, a partir de um descolamento de nossas formações históricas. O "cuidado de si" implica uma ética que se opõe à suposição de um eu autônomo, precedendo sua própria história. Trata-se da problematização do já dito, visando à constituição de si, sempre em processo, puro devir. A ética do psicanalista consiste, assim, numa atitude acolhedora diante de um passado que insiste em se dizer presente, instigadora e questionadora acerca do próprio presente, visando um desvio dos pontos de estagnação, em direção à pura abertura.

This article deals with the paradox of analytical listening, starting from Foucault's thinking, used as a tool to think about a clinic in resistance, which opens new horizons for the management of a psychoanalytic clinic in contemporary times. Psychoanalysis works one by one. How to deal with the singularity of the subject without failing to consider the identity group to which he belongs, with problems that are his and that distinguish him in the collective? How to listen to the collective/individual inherent in each narrative of the subject? The psychoanalytic practice inspired by Foucault is a process of discovering the subjections that surround and surround our life, aiming to provoke a fall of certain knowledge of one another. The subject can say no to historical constraints, which allows him to detach himself from himself and not affirm an identity. To know him to be unwell and to transform himself. An ethical perspective opens here, that is, the elaboration of a form of relationship with one another, from a detachment of our historical formations. The "care of the self" involves ethics that opposes the assumption of an autonomous self, preceding its history. This is the problematization of the above, aiming at the constitution of one another, always in process, pure to come. The ethics of the psychoanalyst is, thus, a welcoming attitude towards a past that insists on saying itself present; instigator and questioner about the present itself, aiming at a deviation of the points of stagnation, towards pure openness.

El artículo aborda la paradoja de la escucha analítica, a partir del pensamiento de Foucault, utilizado como herramienta para pensar en una clínica en resistencia, lo que abre nuevos horizontes para el manejo de la clínica psicoanalítica en los tiempos contemporáneos. El psicoanálisis trabaja con uno por uno. ¿Cómo tratar la singularidad del sujeto, sin dejar de tener en cuenta el grupo identitario al que pertenece, con problemas que le son propios y que le distinguen en el colectivo? ¿Cómo escuchar lo colectivo/individual inherente a cada narrativa del sujeto? La práctica psicoanalítica inspirada en Foucault es un proceso de descubrimiento de las sujeciones que rodean y rodean nuestra vida, con el objetivo de provocar una caída de cierto conocimiento de unos a otros. El sujeto es capaz de decir no a las restricciones históricas, lo que le permite separarse de sí mismo y no afirmar una identidad. Conocerlo enfermo y transformarse. Aquí se abre una perspectiva ética, es decir, la elaboración de una forma de relación entre sí, a partir de un desprendimiento de nuestras formaciones históricas. Lo "cuidado de sí" implica una ética que se opone a la asunción de un yo autónomo, precediendo a su propia historia. Esta es la problematización de lo anterior, apuntando a la constitución de uno otro, siempre en proceso, puro por venir. La ética del psicoanalista es, pues, una actitud acogedora hacia un pasado que insiste en decirse presente; instigador e interrogador sobre el presente mismo, apuntando a una desviación de los puntos de estancamiento, hacia la apertura pura.

Foucault: subjetividade e verdade à luz do cuidado de si / Foucault: subjetividad y verdad a la luz del cuidado de sí / Foucault: subjectivity and truth in the light of care of self

RESUMO. Buscamos, no presente artigo, situar o conjunto nocional da relação consigo (rapport à soi) na construção da categoria de subjetividade do pensamento tardio de Michel Foucault. Atrelamos a ele a questão da relação com o Outro e propomos a possibilidade de inscrever a psicanálise na história do cuidado de si. Nosso material primário é a transcrição das aulas ministradas pelo filósofo no começo de 1982 e o livro L'herméneutique du sujet (Foucault, 2001); e nosso suporte principal para análise são as conferências de 1980, L'origine de l'herméneutique de soi, e o livro Foucault, de Deleuze (2005). Como resultado, apresentamos a capacidade de afecção de si por si proporcionada pela relação consigo, demonstramos o modo como a posição do Outro influencia a produção da verdade do sujeito, e reforçamos a necessidade de se pensar práticas como a da psicanálise a partir do arranjo deixado pela história das técnicas de si.

RESUMEN. En el artículo, buscamos identificar el conjunto nocional de la relación con usted (rapport à soi) en la construcción de la categoría de subjetividad del pensamiento posterior de Michel Foucault. Le atribuimos la cuestión de la relación con el Otro y proponemos la posibilidad de inscribir el psicoanálisis en la historia del cuidado de sí. Nuestro material principal es la transcripción de las clases impartidas por el filósofo a principios del 1982, el libro L'herméneutique du sujet (Foucault, 2001) y nuestro principal apoyo para el análisis son las conferencias del 1980, L'origine de l'herméneutique de soi y el libro Foucault, de Deleuze (2005). Como resultado, presentamos la capacidad de autoafecto (de ti para ti) proporcionada por la relación con usted, demostramos lá manera en que la posición del Otro influye en la producción de la verdad del sujeto, y reforzamos la necesidad de pensar sobre las prácticas como de la psicoanálisis desde del arreglo dejado por la historia de las técnicas de sí.

ABSTRACT. In this article, we situate the notional set of the relation with oneself (rapport à soi) in the construction of the category of subjectivity in Michel Foucault's later thought. We show how that relation is attached to the relation with the Other, and we propose the possibility of inscribing psychoanalysis in the history of the care of the self. Our primary material is the transcription of the lectures the philosopher gave in early 1982, the book L'herméneutique du sujet (Foucault, 2001), and our main basis for analysis is the 1980 conferences, L'origine de l'herméneutique de soi, and the book Foucault, by Deleuze (2005). As a result, we present the capacity for self-affection afforded by the relation with oneself, we demonstrate the way in which the Other's position influences the production of the subject's truth, and we concur with the need to think about practices such as psychoanalysis from the perspective of the arrangement left by the history of techniques of the self.

Subjective Well-Being in Healthcare Professionals in Colombia: On the Constitution of Subjectivity and the Ethics of Care in Times of the COVID-19 Pandemic.

The purpose of this work is to reveal how subjective well-being has been generated in a group of professionals in the healthcare field in Colombia, who carried out postgraduate studies at the time of the pandemic caused by the novel SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus in a synchronous and remote learning course facilitated by employing digital technologies. Two methods were assumed, one was qualitative, taking into account some elements of narrative research and discourse analysis, and the other was quantitative, through a rapid reconnaissance survey. The research assumes the constitution of subjectivity from memory and everyday life, as well as the ethics of care concerning caring for oneself and others, as categories that were (re)signified with the narratives-and as notions that make up a theoretical corpus-to understand subjective well-being.

Beyond biopolitics: the importance of the later work of Foucault to understand care practices of healthcare workers caring for undocumented migrants.

BACKGROUND: Undocumented migrants experience multiple institutional and legal barriers when trying to access healthcare services. Due to such limitations, healthcare workers often experience ethical dilemmas when caring for undocumented migrants. This article aims to understand how individual healthcare workers who regularly take care of undocumented migrants deal with these dilemmas in practice. So far, the role of healthcare workers in this context has mainly been theorized through the lens of biopolitics, conceiving of healthcare workers as merely obedient instruments of humanitarian government or gatekeeping. METHODS: Based on semi-structured, in-depth interviews and ethnographic observations with healthcare workers in Belgium, we explore how they ascribe meaning, reflect upon and give shape to care practices in relation to undocumented migrants. We use Foucault's later work on care of the self to interpret the accounts given by the healthcare workers. RESULTS: Healthcare workers in clinical roles exercise a certain degree of freedom in relation to the existing limitations to healthcare access of undocumented migrants. They developed techniques such as purposefully being inattentive to the undocumented status of the migrants. They also try to master their affective responses and transform their bodily attitude towards undocumented patients. They perform practical mental exercises to remind themselves of their role or position in the wider healthcare system and about their commitment to treat all patients equally. These techniques and exercises are inspired by colleagues who function as role models, inspiring them to relate in an ethical way to limitations in healthcare access. The developed care practices sometimes reproduce, sometimes transform the legal and institutional limitations to care for undocumented migrants. CONCLUSIONS: The findings nuance the biopolitical analysis regarding the role of healthcare workers in healthcare delivery to undocumented migrants that has been dominant so far. Theoretically this article provides a reconceptualization of healthcare ethics as care of the self, an ethical practice that is somewhat independent of the traditional professional ethics.

Cultivating Health in Martial Arts and Combat Sports Pedagogies: A Theoretical Framework on the Care of the Self.

"Martial arts and combat sports" (MACS) are a myriad of systems of embodied movements and underlying philosophy and pedagogies. Due to the intrinsic complexity of MACS, they have the potential to both reshape practitioners' selves and improve their wellbeing, as well as to hamper the pursuit of sustainable, healthy lifestyles. This article provides an interdisciplinary theoretical framework to critically approach both the "light" and the "dark" sides of martial pedagogies. The model we propose develops the Foucauldian notion of "the care of the self," which has been considerably overlooked in martial arts scholarship. Furthermore, by viewing health as a goal for cultivation, this proposal places the situated practices linked to materiality and discourses at the centre of the theoretical and empirical analyses. The article thus takes into account the internal diversity and cross-institutional variance of martial pedagogies by allowing scholars to explore four forms of cultivation (self, shared, social, ecological) prompted on a day-to-day basis. To conclude, we discuss the main methodological implications for multimodal research arising from the framework in order to foster future inquiries.

Care of the self in the daily living of nurses: an integrative review / El cuidado de sí en el cotidiano del enfermero: una revisión integrativa / O cuidado de si no cotidiano do enfermeiro: revisão integrativa

ABSTRACT Objectives: to identify if nurses care for themselves and describe such practices. Methods: this is an integrative review of the literature published between 2006 and 2018 and indexed in the Literatura Latino-Americana e do Caribe em Ciências da Saúde, Medical Literature Analysis and Retrieval System Online and Web of Science databases. Results: the sample totaled 20 articles, grouped by content similarity in the thematic categories "limits and possibilities for the care of the self", "knowledge about practices on the care of the self" and "implications of care of the self in professional practice". Final considerations: the knowledge about techniques on caring for the self allows nurses to develop themselves personally and professionally. We suggest to managers and administrators a redirection of the nursing practice that contemplates the strengthening of the nurse as the manager of care and leader of the team, as well as the inclusion of the concept of care of the self in the curricula of undergraduate and graduate nursing courses.

Política na rua: subjetivação, resistência e ocupação dos espaços públicos / Política en la calle: subjetivación, resistencia y ocupación de los espacios publicos / Politics in the street: subjectivation, resistence and occupation of public spaces

Resumo Este artigo compõe uma dissertação de Mestrado desenvolvida junto aos movimentos sociais que utilizam a ocupação dos espaços públicos como estratégia de resistência, na cidade de Porto Alegre, nos anos de 2013 a 2015. Através do referente metodológico da cartografia, seu objetivo foi mapear formas de subjetivação produzidas nestes processos, articulando as noções de ocupação como estratégia dos movimentos sociais e as formas de ocupação de si, presentes na discussão sobre a ética do cuidado de si no pensamento foucaultiano. Para tanto, faz uma breve discussão sobre as singularidades destes movimentos sociais, partindo para a discussão sobre a noção de "ocupação" em nível teórico, finalizando com algumas aberturas que a discussão propôs e com a afirmação de um lugar possível que articule a pesquisa e a militância nos movimentos sociais como uma problematização ética.

Abstract This article is part of a thesis for a master degree developed from and together with the social movements that used the occupation of public spaces as a resistance strategy in the city of Porto Alegre, between the years of 2013 and 2015. Its purpose is to use cartography as a methodological reference in the mapping of the subjectivation forms produced in this process, relating the notion of occupation, as an strategy of the social movements, to the ways of occupying the self: present terms in the foucaultian thought (more specifically, in the issue of the care of the self). The text starts with a brief discussion on the sungularity of these social movements, passing on to the theoretical debate on the concept of "occupation", and ends up with some openings brought by this discussion. Also, there is an analysis of the possible ways to relate the activities of research and militance in the social movements, considering its ethical implications.

Resumen El siguiente artículo se basa en una disertación de maestrado, desenvolvida junto a los movimientos sociales que ocupan espacios públicos como estrategia de resistencia, en la ciudad de Porto Alegre, entre los 2013 y 2015. Por los referenciales metodológicos de la cartografia, el objetivo de este trabajo fué mapear modos de subjetivación producidas en estos procesos, articulando las nociones de ocupación como estrategia de los movimientos sociales y las formas de ocupación de si, presentes en la discusión sobre la ética del cuidado de sí del pensamiento foucaultiano. Por lo tanto, realiza una breve discusión sobre las singularidades de estos movimientos sociales, continuando con la discusión sobre la noción de "ocupación" a nivel teórico, finalizando con algunas aberturas que la discusión propone y la afirmación de un lugar posible que articule la investigación y la militancia de los movimientos sociales como una problematización ética.

Care of the self in a social group for elderly women / Cuidado de si em um grupo de convivência de idosas

Abstract Objective: to discover the meaning that a group of elderly women attributed to the dialogical sharing of experiences with their peers, and the way this was inserted in the process of living and aging, relating the findings with Care of the Self by Michel Foucault. Method: an exploratory, descriptive, qualitative study was carried out with 28 elderly women enrolled in the "Dialoguing Emotions" Workshop, a social group linked to a university in the countryside of the south of Brazil, through an interview and discussion based on the themes of their experiences. That which emerged from the interviews and discussions underwent content analysis. Results: the extraction of units of significance allowed the elaboration of two intertwining thematic categories: Experiences and strengths of aging in a group: the voice of the elderly and the care of the self: looking at myself and the other. Conclusion: an appreciation of the group relationships was identified, and this experience generated empowerment among participants when dealing with life challenges, providing new possibilities for overcoming subjective limiting experiences. The interaction with a space of listening and free expression, contributed to the rediscovery of oneself, enabled new ways to make oneself a subject in a late stage of personal existence, which in practical terms, has repercussions on emotional balance and greater awareness of the self, providing relief, motivation and determination to meet the challenges of longevity.

Resumo Objetivo: Conhecer o significado que um grupo de mulheres idosas atribuiu ao compartilhamento dialogado de vivências com seus pares, relacionando os achados com o cuidado de si de Michel Foucault. Método: Pesquisa exploratória, descritiva, de cunho qualitativo, realizada com 28 idosas matriculadas na Oficina "Dialogando Emoções", de um grupo de convivência vinculado a Universidade do interior do Sul do Brasil, por meio de entrevista e discussão sobre temas de suas vivências. O que emergiu das falas das participantes sofreu análise temática de conteúdo. Resultados: A extração de unidades de significância permitiu a elaboração de duas categorias temáticas que se entrelaçam: Vivências e fortalecimentos de envelhecer no grupo: a voz das idosas e O cuidado de si: olhando o eu e o outro. Conclusão: Constatou-se que houve valorização das relações grupais e essa experiência gerou o empoderamento das participantes diante dos desafios da vida, proporcionando novas possibilidades de superação de experiências subjetivas limitadoras. A interação com um espaço de escuta e de livre expressão contribuiu para o reencontro consigo mesmo, viabilizando novas formas de se fazer sujeito em um momento tardio da existência pessoal, o que em termos práticos, repercutiu em equilíbrio emocional e maior consciência de si, proporcionando alívio, motivação e determinação para enfrentar os desafios da longevidade.

The Care Dialog: the "ethics of care" approach and its importance for clinical ethics consultation.

Ethics consultation in institutions of the healthcare system has been given a standard form based on three pillars: education, the development of guidelines and concrete ethics consultation in case conferences. The spread of ethics committees, which perform these tasks on an organizational level, is a remarkable historic achievement. At the same time it cannot be denied that modern ethics consultation neglects relevant aspects of care ethics approaches. In our essay we present an "ethics of care" approach as well as an empirical pilot project-"Ethics from the bottom up"-which organizes ethics consultation based on this focus. Findings and philosophy of the project will be discussed as far as relevant for ethics consultation in the healthcare system.

Práticas corporais e artísticas, aprendizagem inventiva e cuidado de si / Corporal and artistic practices, inventive learning and the care of the self

Resumo Nos últimos anos temos trabalhado com as práticas corporais e artísticas na formação, e junto a comunidades, em serviços de saúde e espaços de produção artística, entendendo que essas práticas promovem a produção de cuidado, o encontro e o aumento de potência de vida, segundo uma ética que resiste aos modelos prescritivos, normativos e excludentes, incidindo nos processos de subjetivação. Aqui apresentamos experimentações com o corpo, que envolvem a dança, a música, as artes e a escrita, e discutimos as relações entre Aprendizagem Inventiva, experiência estética e o cuidado de si, tomados como referências conceituais para pensar os corpos em estado de presença, produzindo conexões, inventividade e um voltar-se para si com implicações coletivas, políticas, clínicas e estéticas que movimentam o pensamento, os corpos e a vida.(AU)

Abstract In the last years we have worked with corporal and artistic practices with students and communities, in institutions of health and spaces of artistic production, understanding that these practices promote the production of care, the encounter and the increase of the potency of life, according to an ethics which resists prescriptive, normative and exclusive models, focusing on the processes of subjectivation. Here we present experimentations with the body - involving dance, music, arts and writing - and discuss the relationships between Inventive Learning, aesthetic experience and the care of the self, taken as conceptual references to think bodies in a state of presence, producing connections, inventiveness and a turning to oneself with collective, political, clinical and aesthetic implications that move thought, bodies and life.(AU)

The Care of Our Hybrid Selves: Ethics in Times of Technical Mediation.

What can the art of living after Foucault contribute to ethics in relation to the mediation of human existence by technology? To develop the relation between technical mediation and ethics, firstly the theme of technical mediation is elaborated in line with Foucault's notion of ethical problematization. Every view of what technology does to us at the same time expresses an ethical concern about technology. The contemporary conception of technical mediation tends towards the acknowledgement of ongoing hybridization, not ultimately good or bad but ambivalent, which means for us the challenge of taking care of ourselves as hybrid beings. Secondly, the work of Foucault provides elements for imagining this care for our hybrid selves, notably his notions of freedom as a practice and of the care of the self. A conclusions about technical mediation and ethics is that whereas the approaches of the delegation of morality to technology by Latour and mediated morality by Verbeek see technical mediation of behavior and moral outlook as an answer in ethics, this should rather be considered the problem that ethics is about.

A Critical Use of Foucault's Art of Living.

Foucault's vocabulary of arts of existence might be helpful to problematize the entwinement of humans and technology and to search for new types of hybrid selves. However, to be a serious new ethical vocabulary for technology, this art of existence should be supplemented with an ongoing critical discourse of technologies, including a critical analysis of the subjectivities imposed by technologies, and should be supplemented with new medical and philosophical regimens for an appropriate use of technologies.

Struggling to care: A discursive-material analysis of negotiating agency among HIV-positive MSM.

A discursive-materialist framework of agency asserts the mutual constitution of agency within cultural discursive, economic, and embodied material structures. Understanding how HIV-positive men who have sex with men in the Philippines negotiate agency vis-a-vis wider social structures, we utilized Foucault's care of the self to locate agency in relationships with the self, others, and the broader world. Using data from narratives of 20 Filipino HIV-positive men who have sex with men, we analyzed the negotiation of agency as HIV-positive as embedded in the unique discursive terrain of Roman Catholicism and the economic materiality of a developing country. Three main processes of negotiating agency are elaborated: (1) questioning the spiritual self and the sexual body in the relationship with the self, (2) navigating interpersonal limits to care giving in the relationship with others, and (3) reclaiming human dignity in health care in the relationship with the broader world. Theoretical insights on the discursive and material constitution of healing in light of discursive and material challenges are discussed.

The problem of sexual imbalance and techniques of the self in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders.

This article examines the problematization of sexual appetite and its imbalances in the development of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM) in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. The dominant strands of historiographies of sexuality have focused on historicizing sexual object choice and understanding the emergence of sexual identities. This article emphasizes the need to contextualize these histories within a broader frame of historical interest in the problematization of sexual appetite. The first part highlights how sexual object choice, as a paradigm of sexual dysfunctions, progressively receded from medical interest in the twentieth century as the clinical gaze turned to the problem of sexual appetite and its imbalances. The second part uses the example of the newly introduced Female Sexual Interest/Arousal Disorder in the DSM-5 to explore how the Manual functions as a technique for taking care of the self. I argue that the design of the Manual and associated inventories and questionnaires paved the way for their interpretation and application as techniques for self-examination.

Foucault's legacy for nursing: are we beneficiaries or intestate heirs?

Drawing upon selected literature from the United Kingdom, Denmark, and Canada we examine how Foucault's concepts of 'episteme', 'rupture' 'parrhesia' 'care of the self', and 'problemitization' have been applied to particular contexts of leadership development, pedagogy, nursing knowledge, and the relationship between caring and politics. Our aims are threefold: to give examples of how selected Foucauldian concepts have been taken up in practice; to clarify how we are positioned today as nurses; and to invite more nurses to engage critically with historical inquiry and to engage in deep philosophical reflection about their relationship with nursing. We begin by examining the conditions and circumstances of Foucault's life, and conclude by posing the question in our subtitle to stimulate debate about the philosophical relevance of Foucauldian scholarship to nursing.

Cuidado de si de enfermeiras obstétricas: decisões sobre seus corpos e vidas / Obstetrical nurses' self care: decisions about their bodies and lives

A realidade dos serviços de saúde e das práticas dos profissionais da saúde é marcada pela predominância de ações disciplinarizadoras e normatizadoras do comportamento das mulheres.Não obstante, no âmbito da assistência à mulher permanecem manifestações de violência institucional, alto índice de cesáreas, e outras intervenções prescindíveis. Todavia existem movimentos se efetivando em prol do respeito às decisões da mulher e do incentivo ao parto natural e humanizado, com forte participação da enfermagem obstétrica. Pressupõe-se que esta realidade está associada, em grande parte, ao cuidado de si de enfermeiras obstétricas, no que tange as decisões sobre o seu próprio corpo e vida e consequentemente das relações de poder que estabelecem com as outras mulheres de que cuidam. As decisões sobre a vida e corpos são entendidas como uma expressão, materialidade do processo de formação dos sujeitos, incluindo processos de objetivação e subjetivação e portanto o cuidado de si. O estudo teve como objetivo analisar o cuidado de si de enfermeiras obstétricas na conformação das decisões sobre seus corpos e vida. Trata-se de pesquisa de abordagem qualitativa, ancorada em perspectiva Pós Estruturalista e no referencial teórico-metodológico de Michel Foucault. As participantes do estudo foram 14 mulheres, enfermeiras obstétricas de nítido reconhecimento, por parte de quem as indica, na atuação do cuidado a outras mulheres. A técnica amostral utilizada foi snowball,o que resultou na construção de uma rede de entrecruzamento de histórias de vida. A produção dos dados se baseou em entrevista aberta em profundidade, enquanto a análise se sustentou no método de Análise de Discurso. Os resultados revelam que as enfermeiras obstétricas descrevem as suas decisões sobre os corpos e vida, que são subjetivamente influenciadas pelo contexto e práticas discursivas de ser mulher e enfermeira obstétrica, e tocam o corpo de si e da outra mulher de diferentes formas. Existem discursos...

The reality of health services and practices of health professionals is marked by the predominance of disciplinary and normative actions of women's behavior. Nonetheless, in thecontext of women's care they remain resulting in manifestations of institutional violence, a highrate of cesareans, and other expendable interventions. However, there are movements that are effective in order to respect women's decisions and encourage natural and humanized childbirth, with a strong participation of obstetric nursing. It is assumed that this reality is associated with the care of the obstetric nurses them selves, in regard to decisions about their own body and lifeand consequently the power relations they establish with the other women they care for. Decisions about life and bodies are understood as expressions, materiality in the process ofsubject formation, including processes of objectification and subjectivation, and therefore the care of themselves. The purpose of this study was to analyze the self care of obstetrical nurses in the conformation of decisions about their bodies and life. It is a qualitative research, anchored in Post-Structuralist perspective and in the theoretical-methodological reference of MichelFoucault. The study participants were 14 obstetrical nurses of clear recognition, by the one who indicates them, in the care of other women. The sampling technique used was snowball, which resulted in the construction of a network of intertwining of life stories. The production of the data was based on interviews in deep, while data analysis was based on the method of Discourse Analysis. The results reveal that obstetrical nurses describe their decisions about body and life, which are subjectively influenced by context and discursive practices as a woman and obstetric nurse, and touch the body of the other woman in different ways. There are dominant but also emerging discourses that go through decisions about bodies and life. The narratives were...

The formation for sus, opening new trails for the production of the common / A formação para o sus abrindo caminhos para a produção do comum

Faced with the challenge of turning ourselves around to the subjective dimension of the practices of health care and health management, in this article we propose the problematization of the subject of the constituent movement of the SUS. How is the subject of this movement formed? How can one think of qualification as a social practice that produces subjects 'in relation' and care, associating clinical practice and management? What interests us here is what is produced in the relationship between the subjects, what calls them over to different methods of contraction of the collective and the creation of zones of communal activity. The notion of 'care of the self' as developed by Foucault, especially in his last work The Hermeneutics of the Subject, shall be the technical and conceptual framework that is to guide our path, so we may stay in the place where the paths meet for the production of the common.

Diante do desafio de nos voltarmos para a dimensão subjetiva das práticas de atenção e gestão do trabalho em saúde, propomos neste artigo problematizar o sujeito do movimento constituinte do SUS. Como se forma o sujeito desse movimento? Como pensar, associando clínica e gestão, a formação como prática social que produz sujeitos "em relação" e o cuidado? O que nos interessa é o que se produz na relação entre os sujeitos, o que os convoca para diferentes formas de contração de coletivo e de criação de zonas de comunalidade. A noção de "cuidado de si" desenvolvida por Foucault, especialmente na sua última obra, A hermenêutica do sujeito, será o arcabouço teórico-conceitual que orientará nosso percurso a fim de nos atermos no lugar onde os caminhos se encontram na produção do comum.

Os riscos e a promoção do autocontrole na saúde alimentar: moralismo, biopolítica e crítica parresiasta / The risks and the promotion of self-control on nutritional health: morality, biopolitics and parrhesiastic critique

O artigo trata das propostas de autocuidado mediante o autocontrole na promoção da saúde alimentar, especialmente nos propósitos de se evitar o ganho de peso e o consumo de comida que não sigam o modelo da 'alimentação saudável'. Tais iniciativas se apresentam como estratégias do cuidado de si, legitimadas e naturalizadas no contexto da saúde nutricional, vinculadas a modos moralistas nas formas atuais de se levar a vida. A perspectiva crítica do estudo adota a biopolítica como enfoque teórico e a 'parresia cínica', como linha de argumentação, própria do Cinismo como doutrina filosófica, desenvolvida posteriormente por Michel Foucault em seus estudos sobre o cuidado de si.

This paper deals with proposals for self-care by means of self-control in the promotion of nutritional health, especially in the quest to avoid weight gain and the consumption of food that does not meet 'healthy food' guidelines. These initiatives present themselves as self-care strategies that are legitimated and enshrined in the context of nutritional heath, linked with moralistic modes on the current ways of leading our lives. The study's critical standpoint adopts a biopolitical approach and 'cynical parrhesia' as an argumentative line of reasoning, which is in line with Cynicism as a philosophical doctrine, subsequently developed by Michel Foucault in his studies on care of the self.
