Maintaining the traditional customs of her people, and the researcher being a Griote Quilombola, this research aims to tell the story of the mother orphaned with a living daughter and the quilombola way of taking care of disORÌented mind. Oral tradition based on stories told by word masters is a way of transmitting knowledge between generations, preserving the memory, culture, knowledge and practices of the quilombo. To tell this story without losing orality in writing, the concept of writing by Conceição Evaristo, oralitura proposed by Leda Maria Martins and narrative writing as an authorial resource, taught by Ester Mambrini will be used as a writing method. In the Theoretical Pilão, I include the ancestral knowledge of the elderly, grandmothers, faith healers, aunts and uncles and productions of quilombola intellectuals, such as Beatriz Nascimento and Nêgo Bispo, and psychological theories about mental health. To analyze this story, I use the Sankofa movement, going back to the past to understand the present and give new meaning to the future, as the cure for the disORÌented mind is done by returning to the motherland, the Mandingo proverb teaches us “Before knowing where you are going, You need to know who you are.”

Psychology in Brazil became a recognized profession in 1962 and since then has become increasingly important in the national context. Its dissemination takes place through social discourse, developed institutions and the Brazilian media. This channel is present in the proliferation of information and which has undergone changes since 1991. The advent of the World Wide Web, created in 1991, brought with it a modern wave of proliferation of Online Social Networks—RSO. The amount of material stored and the networks' dissemination potential exceeded the capacity of televised content for decades. In this way, RSO produces a new form of relationship between individuals and the psychologist is also inserted in this field. Whether as a user of RSO, as a content producer or having other forms of relationship with this space. Given the above, study 1 (chapter 3) aimed to understand how RSO is used in the field of psychology. Therefore, a search was carried out in the Scielo, IndexPsi, Lilacs, PepSic and PsycInfo databases using descriptors organized as follows ("Online Social Media OR Social Media AND Psychology OR psychologist") and ("Redes Sociais Online OR Redes Sociais AND Psicologia OR Psychologist"). A total of 3,918 studies were found, and after being analyzed, 71 studies were selected that met the research inclusion criteria. As a result, it can be seen that the field of psychology has been using RSO since 2011, from the production of studies on RSO Orkut, later the studies are carried out with the help of Facebook, Instagram and Twitter. The studies found have a qualitative and quantitative approach, with a predominance of qualitative methodologies. Furthermore, RSO are part of the lives of the subjects of the field of psychology, modifying the ways of social life and consequently reaching its subjectivity and of the time. Which brings challenges to the performance of psychology today, both in relation to the positioning of the field and in relation to discussions about technologies and RSO in the academic field. Given this, study 2 (Chapter 4) of this dissertation sought to understand what contente was published by psychology professionals on RSO Instagram in accordance with CFP guidelines. Captions from 10 publications were collected, based on the profile selection criteria. The text with subtitles was transformed into a textual corpus that was analyzed using the Iramuteq software. Presenting as a result 5 classes with content relating to how to take care of children's development, tips on how to have a healthy, authentic life and tips on self-care. The published content did not presente scientific references to the field of psychology and ethical non-conformities were observed in relation to the presentation of professionals in RSO. This points to the need for broad discussions about the use of RSO by the field of psychology, whether in the professional or training context.

Stress is considered a psychological aspect in which the subject interprets a situation as environmentally capable of modifying the subject's state of subjective well-being. Some authors point out that high levels of stress over very long periods can lead to symptoms of psychological discomfort. In this sense, stress, which is naturally adaptive, ends up generating maladaptive behaviors. On the other hand, characteristics can be evaluated from different contexts, such as minority stress, organizational and even academic stress. This study aims to adapt the Academic Stress Scale (EEA) to the context of postgraduate students, in addition to gathering evidence of the instrument's validity and accuracy. It is also important to highlight that the measure is available for large-scale application in the context of undergraduate students, since 2018, and university professors, from 2022. Therefore, it can be inferred that adaptation to the target context of this study will enable the comparison of academic stress in almost all groups of people who attend the gym, with only the group of administrative technicians remaining. Therefore, the instrument will be subjected to qualitative and quantitative analyses, therefore, the content validity will be assessed based on Semantic and Judicial Analysis, in order to clearly attest to the practical relevance and theoretical relevance of the instrument, in order to refine suitable for large-scale application. Subsequently, the validity based on the internal structure of the instrument will be measured, using Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) and the factor structure found in previous studies. On the other hand, Item Response Theory (IRT) will be used to evaluate the individual configurations of the items (difficulty and discrimination). Furthermore, the internal consistency of the instrument will be measured using Cronbach's Alpha (⍺), McDonald's Omega (ω) and Composite Reliability (C.C.) indicators. Subsequently, data collection will be carried out considering the three versions of the EEA, also including the Depression, Anxiety and Stress Scale, Brief Resilience Scale and the Life Satisfaction States Scale. Given this scenario, comparative tests showed that university professors had lower levels of academic and general stress, depression and anxiety, while for the variables of life satisfaction and resilience, the results showed that university professors had the highest levels, when compared to undergraduate and postgraduate students. Finally, the explanatory model was tested to investigate the mediating effect of life satisfaction and resilience in the relationship between economic stress and negative affectivity, marked by depression, anxiety and stress. The results showed that protective factors were evaluated 56.3% of mediation in the relationship between the aforementioned variables, reducing that in the presence of resilience and satisfaction with life, the impact of academic stress on negative affectivity tends to decrease.

This work aims to analyze the implications of social isolation on children's narrative constructions during the process of returning to face-to-face education, especially among children who experienced classes through hybrid and remote systems. This text constitutes a master's dissertation in the form of three articles: "The impacts of COVID-19 social distancing on early childhood education - A systematic review, "Language and Development in crisis context: Exploring the effects of social isolation on education" (already published), and "Implications of Social Distancing in Children's Narratives: Experiences of Children and Families During the Pandemic." The pandemic revealed how society behaves in the face of difficulties, one of which was assisting children in their educational development. Remote teaching during this period did not work positively for Early Childhood Education, especially because children need daily contact with peers, teachers, and the necessary support to access classes. Therefore, investigating children's narratives during this historical time is a way to understand how they experienced the fluid and daily crossing of home and school times. The aim of this work is to investigate the impacts of social isolation resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic on child development, with a particular focus on children's narrative constructions during the process of returning to face-to-face education in a municipal school in Maceió/AL, with 6 children between 7 and 10 years old, respectively from the 3rd and 4th grades in the afternoon shift. Through a multidimensional approach, the goal is to understand the effects of this social isolation context on children's language, cognitive development, and social interaction, highlighting the importance of pedagogical practices that value play as a fundamental tool for children's growth and well-being. The first article consists of a systematic literature review, while the second explores in more detail the effects of social isolation on language and child development, and the last article reflects on the construction of children's narratives through Playfulness and children's drawing. Data collection was carried out through structured and semi-structured interviews using a qualitative and exploratory method, as well as playful activities with a dollhouse, storytelling from images, and drawing production. The analyses involved creating cores of meaning to understand the senses and meanings mobilized in the narratives. The results of the analysis point to a variety of negative consequences of social distancing, including socioemotional and behavioral difficulties in children, learning gaps, concerns about mental health, among others. The transition to remote learning also revealed significant challenges, especially regarding equitable access to education and the adaptation of pedagogical practices. Overall, the study contributes to understanding the challenges faced by children in the post-pandemic context and emphasizes the importance of playfulness within strategies that promote comprehensive development during the return to face-to-face education.

Violence against children is a severe public health issue, causing harm to their physical and psychological development in the short, medium, and long term. Preventing violence is the most effective approach to address and combat this problem. The primary objective of this research was to analyze preventive strategies concerning violence against children with the involvement of children themselves. The specific objectives were: 1) Understanding children's perceptions of violence against children; 2) Analyzing strategies to inform and sensitize children about identifying the various types of violence directed at them or their peers, as well as knowledge of resources available for cases of violence; 3) Analyzing the creative products developed by children related to the prevention of violence against children. This research received approval from the Research Ethics Committee (CEP) of the Federal University of Alagoas. It is an action research employing a qualitative approach and interventional methodology, utilizing playful workshops. Data collection utilized various instruments, including forms for socioeconomic profiling, children's school records, violence-related questionnaires, workshop evaluation forms, researchers' and assistants' field diaries, audio recordings of workshops, photographs of children's productions, and the Drawing-Story Procedure with a specific theme. Six playful workshops were conducted at the school, with the participation of 23 children. The data interpretation was based on Winnicott's psychoanalysis and updated academic production on the subject. The first workshop was an introductory session; the second aimed to identify and comprehend the meanings regarding the phenomenon of violence against children and adolescents from the children's perspective; the third and fourth workshops provided information on preventing sexual, physical, and psychological violence, neglect, as well as fostering respect and care for others; the fifth focused on proposing interventions, and the sixth served as a closing session. Initially, children presented drawings and stories primarily focused on physical violence. However, throughout the sessions, their understanding expanded to include psychological violence, sexual violence, negligence (prompted by the researcher), as well as instances of bullying and racism (suggested by the children themselves). The workshops provided a safe space for communication and expression of ideas and preventive strategies, facilitating children's incorporation of group-discussed information into their existing knowledge base or its reformulation. Thus, through activities such as drawing, gaming, storytelling, group projects, and book creation, children were able to express their viewpoints and enhance their understanding of the subject matter. These workshops emerged as a valuable resource, enabling children's expression, creativity, and leadership in preventing violence against children.

The present work aims to investigate what remains of the Brazilian civil-military dictatorship. The dictatorship’s end was marked by an Amnesty Law that made it impossible to do a legal investigation and a creation of spaces that the victims could talk about what they lived and suffered. We start from the hypothesis that this impossibility brought consequences for the way the country was organized after the dictatorship, in such a way that part of society denies the abuses committed by the regime and asks for its return. Differently than what happened here, post-war Germany carried out a legal transition that was marked by the condemnation of several agents of the Nazi command and allowed the surviving victims not only to receive compensation, but also have spaces for remembrance and speech. Even so, there are denialist theses about what happened during the Nazi regime and a desire to forget the facts. With or without legal treatment, something remains. Thereby, it was possible to infer that the court did not end the trauma and that the dictatorship’s rest in Brazil does not depend only on the absence of a court. In this way, we use the testimony in other to locate what remains of the civil-military dictatorship in Brazil, because the testimony welcomes what is silent, what is impossible to say. Flávio Tavares’s testimony, in the book Memórias do Esquecimento, points that there is a return of a certain aesthetics of morality, which makes it possible to transform violence into a State policy. From that, we point it out that what remains of the dictatorship in Brazil is this morality model that reproduces a war logic, a death governability of and a disappearance.

App couriers are one of the growing service categories in the country. Exposed to damage, harassment and accidents, the responsibility for the service rests solely with them. Due to this individualization, the critical analysis characterizes them as a class that does not believe in the future and is resigned on social transformations. The path opened by the movement of anti-fascist couriers in 2020 made this research possible, which was seen as individual subjectivity, without physical and personal material to build alliances, carried out one of the main demonstrations against the precariousness of work and the government. Those outside the field of law legislation, with no prior organization and little recognition, persist. This problem led to the research question: Is it possible to think of a political subject without legislative guarantee, a subject generated through the space of action? As methodology, interviews published by anti-fascist couriers on their social networks were collected, mainly from the courier Paulo Lima, as known as Galo, in the period from 2020 to 2022. To discuss the material, the choice of Butler and her psychoanalysis is to bring into question in its production the impasse posed by these bodies in political life. The objective of the research is to discuss the political subject through the claim of the couriers. The hypothesis followed is the production of this subject through the act. From an insurgency against the government and the apps, the couriers hit the streets and built a mobilization with different effects, as well as set fire to the monument to carry out the struggle of the past in the present. That enabled the recognition of the category, in addition to providing diverse alliances. The act enabled a cut, transforming a condition into a political position.

Entry and permanence in the labor market for people with disabilities depends on factors such as the implementation of public policies and the inclusion process. However, research indicates that among this group, people with intellectual disabilities (ID) are the most excluded in the market, which is why they believe that the school has a key role in improving this scenario. This qualitative research with a historical-dialectical approach narrates the life stories of five people with intellectual disabilities as subjects who construct meanings based on their schooling experience and professional practices. We based this study within the perspective of critical school educational psychology as a proposal for understanding the production of meaning rescued from these narratives. The narratives were followed by the methodology of the meaning cores of Aguiar and Ozella. In general terms, it was shown that the work context can favor the development of autonomy, personal satisfaction and independence of people with disabilities. It reinforces the importance of implementing professional qualification strategies that come especially from the school space, providing empirical data that can contribute to the planning and implementation of public inclusion policies. New studies on the education-work axis need to be better explorers in the light of the social mode and the discussion about citizenship and rights of people with ID. The analyzes showed how the precariousness of education and work are common aspects of our society, but also have diferente consequences and impacts on the lives and protagonism of its participants.

Discrimination suffered by people from different gender minorities is a classic theme when considering the contextual investigation of the target audience. In Brazil, this aspect is evidenced with greater magnitude, since the country is one of the most violent and kills people who identify themselves as LGBTPQIAN+ in the world. From this, the Minority Stress Theory (TEM) appears as a way of thinking that considers specific stressors of each sexually minorized group, differentiating between themselves and in comparison with people who fit the cisheteronorms. Therefore, this dissertation had as general objective to evaluate the stress of minorities in people of diverse gender populations (Lesbians, Gays, Bisexuals and Transvestites and Transsexuals) in the Brazilian context. To this end, Article I aimed to adapt the Protocol to Assess Minority Stress in LGBTs - Lesbians, Gays and Bisexuals (PEM-LGB-BR) for the T population (PEM-T-BR), in order to provide an instrument to investigate the specific context of this target audience, considering its own characteristics, as well as the type of specific description that this group suffers on a daily basis. Therefore, the adaptation was carried out based on the scientific literature, and the adapted instrument was evaluated by five expert judges in the area of psychology, aged between 28 and 39 years (M= 31.40, SD= 5, 03 ), of these, 60% had a doctoral degree and 40% had a master's degree. In addition, the semantic validation also counts on the participation of six trans people, who judged the intelligibility of the instrument, and as participants were aged between 24 and 43 years (M= 33.83, SD= 7.35). The results of the semantic analysis indicate that the adaptation of the instrument followed the theoretical and practical criteria of psychometric measures, thus presenting good indicators of content validity. Subsequently, 200 trans women participated, aged between 18 and 44 years (M= 27.57, SD= 6.02), who responded to the survey quarter, containing the PEM-T-BR and the Depression, Anxiety and Stress Scale (DASS-21). From this, analyzes were carried out to validate the instrument's construct and reliability, in which the results confirm its practical, theoretical and empirical suitability, allowing the application of the instrument on a large scale in the Brazilian context. In addition, Article II aimed to investigate the incidence of minority stress in sexually minorized groups, considering the LGBT population, in addition to investigating the effects of minority stress on indicators of psychological distress, this time considering only the T population To this end, I count on the participation of two Samples, the first being the same as in Article I, and the second sample considering the selection of Lesbian, Gay and Bisexual (LGBs) people, and I count on the participation of 283 participants among 18 and 35 years old (M= 23.22, SD= 3.50), among these, 105 people declared themselves bisexual (40.63%), 95 gay people (33.57%) and 68lesbian people (24.03% ). The results corroborate the hypothesis of greater psychologicalaffectation in the T population, which, in turn, presented significantly higher numbers of minoritystressors, confirming the findings in the literature, which indicate that the social context of transvestite and transgender people is demarcated from more discriminatory experiences than other minorized subgroups such as LGBs. In addition, Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) made it possible to investigate the impact of this stress of minorities of population T on the indicators of psychological distress investigated in this study (Depression, Anxiety and Stress). From this, it was possible to observe that the stress of minorities had a significantly high influence on the general stress perceived by trans people, which, in turn, had equally marked influences on the presence of depression and anxiety. The findings of this study corroborate once again with the findings of the scientific literature, which indicate that the stressors of minorities are an addition to the common stress of the daily life of human beings, but also appear as preponderant factors for the greater marginalization and vulnerability of transvestites and transsexuals have fragile mental health indicators.

The results also suggest that the evaluation of products by digital influencers influences the purchase intention of online social networks users. In this study, we concluded that this relationship of trust seems The internet plays an immeasurable role in people's lives, just as consumption is part of everyday life. With the internet, online social networks appear, and with them, digital influencers, people who, among other things, influence consumer behavior. The present study intends to analyze how the digital influence interferes in the consumption behavior of users of online social networks. For this, we use the Theory of Planned Behavior as theoretical and methodological support. We had the participation of 30 users of online social networks who answered a semi-structured questionnaire where the beliefs that lead to the intention of the consumption behavior of users of online social networks were elucidated under the influence of digital influencers. The results showed that the personal assessment of the online social networks user about what is being indicated by influencers and the degrees of ease or difficulty in relation to consumption were the most evidenced factors for carrying out the consumption behavior. We also observed that online social networks users tend to carry out consumption behavior when influencers show themselves to be more real, more accessible, than those who show themselves only as sellers. Influence succeeds most of the time because followers trust the influencer, and this credibility is validated by identificationto cause a blind effect, in the sense that if you are being recommended, it is good, as the results also suggest that followers are more concerned with the product being advertised than with the consequences of the act of consumption itself.

This study aims to analyze how the beliefs and behaviors of black women about sexuality are reported in the literature. This is an integrative literature review study, using the prism flowchart, in which the descriptors “black women”, “behavior” and “sexuality” were used. The databases used were SciELO, PePSIC, LILACS, MEDLINE and PsycINFO. In this study, scientific articles published from 2012 onwards, in English and Portuguese, directly related to the analyzed topic were included, resulting in 06 studies that made up the sample. As conclusions it is observed that the beliefs and behaviors of black women about sexuality are reported in different ways, having as a common point the presence of intersectionality.

This project describes the Iyabás in Candomblé through the myths about the orishas; identifies the female representations in these myths. To this end, a systematic literature review on the theme "Candomblé and woman" is carried out, through research in the Catalog of Theses and Dissertations of Capes, in all areas of knowledge and in all years. The results indicate that there is a relationship and influence of the experience of black African women, brought to Brazil as slaves, with regard to the autonomy and leadership experienced by the women of terreiro, because the matrifocal practice of family organization reproduced on Brazilian soil, allowed the consecration of the religiosity called Candomblé. The review points out that this conception of religion constitutes a space for the preservation, resistance, empowerment and liberation of women, thusunderstanding the axé houses as an environment for the promotion of feminine otherness, which favors their power, where these identity references, of practice of valuing the feminine being in the communities of axé, permeate and are maintained through orality. These references to ways of seeing and being in the world are transmitted through mythological language. The researches indicate that the people of axé apprehend, through the myths, an ancestral knowledge that communicates concepts and doctrines, being in this way, a teaching instrument that keeps alive the religious tradition of African matrix, and gives access to the references of identities of the orixás that differ from a logic of fragility and submission of women in their non-hegemonic understandings of the world. It was also defined the realization of a descriptive analysis of the iyabás worshipped in Brazil, which circulate in the communities of terreiro: the presence of the iyabás in the creation of the world; getting to know Nanan; being enchanted by Iyewá/Iewá/Yewá/Ewá; moving with Oba; flying with Iansã/Oyá/Oiá; swimming with Iemanjá/Yemanjá/Yemonja and bathing with Oxum/Oxun/Osun. The final considerations indicate an academic production that evidences the appreciation of being a woman in the communities of terreiro, where their religiosity lives from powerful and self-strengthening orishas. It is also considered that the description indicates the individual and collective effects that the representativeness of the orixás allow to focus on the respect and appreciation of the woman of terreiro as an active transforming subject.

Emotions are traditionally understood in our society as negative, as a result of irrationality, internal forum, and should be contained based on individual capacity. However, this study presents emotions in a radically opposite direction – they should not be contained but rather understood, which generates self-control of conduct. This research analyzes emotions and their role in human development mediated by art. The objective is to systematize theoretical elements of Vigotskian theory that contribute to a deeper understanding of the role of emotions in producing human development and the role of art in mediating that development. Specifically, the study seeks to: 1) systematize the fundamentals of Vigotskian art theory and their possible implications in the psychologist's practice; 2) develop a theoretical and methodological understanding of Vigotskian emotion theory and its contemporary interlocutors; 3) interpret Eduardo Galeano's literary work The Book of Embraces based on the theoretical precepts developed previously. The study systematizes Vigotskian art theory fundamentals based
on a theoretical-conceptual study of the author's book Psychology of Art, resulting in the presentation of the objectively analytical method that supported the interpretation of the chosen work, as well as deepening the concepts of catharsis, art as the social in us, and art as a social technique of feelings. The transformative nature of art is highlighted, accompanied by elaborations on the potential uses of art in the context of psychotherapy. The second stage systematizes Vigotskian emotion theory based on his book Theory of Emotions, resulting in the identification of emotions based on a critique of the organic theory of emotions rooted in Cartesian philosophy and proposing Spinozan characteristics of development, transformation, and motivation of emotions. Additionally, the study engages in a dialogue with contemporary literature through the metasynthesis of 17 articles on the concept of emotion in Vigotskian theory, resulting in 7 conceptual sub- themes: a) emotion as a form of communication; b) emotion in unity with reason (affect and intellect unity); c) emotion in its motivational role (affective-volitional basis of actions); d) emotions develop/transform; e) emotions in relation to the social environment; f) emotion as a higher psychological function; g) emotion as a function that permeates other psychological functions. The final stage results in the interpretation of The Book of Embraces added to the concept of fatalism coined by Martín-Baró. The book represents a way of coping by recovering the historical memory of humanity, the feeling of fatalism that dominates the experience of Latin American people. It is composed of fragments of memories that represent universal feelings of the Latin American people, with the author demonstrating compassion for his people's experiences and shaping them aesthetically. Thus, the book's content, the history of the Latin American people, a history of so many injustices, takes shape in personal and collective experiences represented poetically. Therefore, new feelings and emotions can be developed by engaging with the work. The individual can connect with feelings that they may not have been aware of, transforming the person who feels them, resulting in human development in totality.

This work has the format of three articles, in different moments of production. The first is more advanced, while the other two are only partially completed, with other sections that demarcate only the intention of what will still be produced described in the future. The thread running through these articles is the theme of transhumanism. This is an intellectual movement that seeks to increase or improve human capabilities so radically that human nature itself would need to be redefined. The first article presents a systematic literature review in order to map the articles published in scientific journals edited in Brazil on the theme of transhumanism. Thus, it presents results that quantitatively characterize transhumanism in this field of academic production. An important result of this first work was the constitution of a textual corpus of forty-four articles found by the systematic review and which served as a starting point for the second article. If in the first moment we privilege a literature mapping, in the second we present relevant thematic categories for the treatment of the transhumanism theme from the reading of these articles. We are preparing a text that answers the question: in which discussions has transhumanism been used in scientific journals edited in Brazil? In other words, what are we talking about when we talk about transhumanism in Brazil? Finally, after reading these articles and their interpretative systematization, we focus on the political aspect of the theme. Not only do we understand the importance of this aspect from our readings on the subject, but the recent creation, in 2014, of a Transhumanist Party in the United States and the campaign of its candidate, Zoltan Istvan, in 2016, for the presidency of the country, seems to indicate a relevant phenomenon for those who study the topic today. This third article is being written in the form of an essay and will offer a reasoned interpretation for the arrival of transhumanism in the sphere of party politics.

The strategy of close, attentive and deconstructive reading (close and deconstructive reading) is used for research on Psychoanalysis, a different way from classical reading. Francine Prose and Luís Claudio Figueiredo found a compass that guides us. It is considered that reading is not an obvious and intuitive process, but it permeates different assumptions about the ways of understanding what it is to read, interpret, the reader's relations with the text and, also, what is translation/translate. It is intended to discuss the presence of Sigmund Freud's translator and the possible clinical implications from him, removing him from a supposed hidden place and highlighting his name next to the Freudian signature. The history of the psychoanalyst's translations is controversial and conflicting. In Brazil, the debate has its own particularities, which will be detailed when reading the article “Luto e Melancholia”, from 1917. The proposal is not to conclude the theme, but to open points of discussion and continue to produce knowledge.

This dissertation addresses the family as a socially constructed category, situated historically and culturally, which plays a fundamental role throughout the individual's development process. It highlights the new family arrangements, especially the homoparental family, which has adoption as the main means for its formation. Its general objective is to analyze and comprehend the constitution of the adoptive homoparental family from the perspective of fathers and mothers in the adoption process. As specific objectives, it seeks to know and analyze the development of family relationships in these families; the family life history of these fathers and mothers; their experience in the adoption process and in the exercise of parenthood; and the relationship of the homoparental family with the extended family and society. This is a field, exploratory and cross-sectional research, approved by the Research Ethics Committee (CEP) of the Federal University of Alagoas. It adopts Donald Winnicott's psychoanalysis as a theoretical reference. It was conducted in a virtual environment and used case study as the research method. Fathers and mothers of four adoptive homoparental families from three regions of the country (NE, N, SE) participated. Data were collected from different sources, using the following instruments: a sociodemographic questionnaire, a semi-structured interview, and the Family Drawing with Stories Procedure (DF- S). The Thematic Content Analysis technique was used to analyze the data obtained in the interviews, from which four thematic categories were built and discussed: 1) "Previous family history", in which aspects of the fathers' and mothers' experiences with their families of origin were addressed; 2) "The parenthood project", in which the desire to exercise parenthood and its materialization through adoption was discussed; 3) "The homoparental family everyday life," in which the development of intra-family relationships established through adoption was addressed; and 4) "The homoparental family in society," in which the experiences of adoption with the extended family and in broader social relationships were discussed. The drawings and stories were analyzed using guiding questions, as recommended by Trinca. Based on the discussions, it was possible to identify potentialities in the development of intra-family relationships and in the establishment of the affective bond between the participants and their children, but also crossings of situations of prejudice experienced with the family of origin, both in the parental exercise and in the support received by the extended family. The situations of prejudice were related to homosexuality, adoption, homoparenting and single parenting. It was also possible to identify the representation of the participating homoparental families in the drawings and stories produced. With regard to experiences in broader social relationships, the support received from friends and co-workers stands out. The participants also dealt with stigmas and prejudices in institutional spaces, such as at school, in health services, and by the technical team from the Judiciary. In conclusion, the homoparental adoptive families in the present study provided a facilitating environment in the emotional maturation process of their children.

The intention of this work is proposing and performing a policy of writing and research immersed in the experience of the body, memory and affections. For this, based on the decolonization of language and in opposition to research guided predominantly by white men from the global north, what I intend to echo are productions of female voices and diving with the women of the waters, seas and lakes. Inspired by the steps of Conceição Evaristo, I seek the theoretical-methodological contribution in writings (escrevivências, specifically) produced from my encounter as a professional of a health service, Consultório na Rua, with the women who makes the street her own home. To make this discussion possible, the intersectionality assumes a central role, it is through the crossing and overlapping of race, gender, class and other markers that pass through the lives of black women in Brazil, specifically in the city of Maceió – Alagoas, that I seek to build critical and localized discussions. The general objective is experimenting the production of narratives supported by the encounter with black women in street situations in the city of Maceió, as a theoretical-methodological tool for the production of research in social psychology. The specific objectives are: a) Contribute to studies and theoretical-methodological proposals that intersect issues such as city, memory, race, gender and writing policies; b) Producing situated and performative research and writing experiences supported by the decolonization of knowledge and language. Therefore, I intend with this research to reaffirm the ethical and political commitment to produce other tools, uses and meanings of research and acting in psychology.

Brazilian psychology is eminently urban, with its origins embedded in European sources and marked by colonial parameters that do not reach the complexity of our reality. Its insertion in the rural context is recent and despite advances, the work of psychologists is still based on the hegemonic model, presenting problems and challenges to be overcome for integral mental health care in the rural area. The present study is a qualitative research and is based on the notion of non-extractive collaborative methodologies. The general objective of this work is to analyze the contributions of the MST Mental Health Network to psychology and, more specifically, to identify the practices offered by the Network, understanding the challenges of psychology for integral mental health care in the rural area. For this, we used the following instruments: field diary, narrative interviews and group process. The study is proposed in five steps: 1) bibliographic survey and systematic review; 2) presentation of the research project to the MST Mental Health Network and monitoring of the group process; 3) narrative interviews; 4) analysis of research processes; 5) debate on the results and production of new paths, which will be developed from the meeting and dialogue with the mental health collective of the Network. An inversion exercise is proposed, in the sense of thinking about how the alliance with social movements and rural populations can contribute to a decolonized, politically territorialized and popular psychology, collaborating for the solidification of critical and contextualized care practices in mental  health in the rural area, as recommended by the the National Policy of Integral Health of Rural, Forest and Water Populations (PNSIPCFA).

This dissertation is about producing and telling stories. Produce, tell, produce, tell, produce, tell... in such an intense, and intentionally mixed, way that if we play that game of repeating this sequence aloud non-stop, "produce count", there is a time when the order sound gets mixed up, and seems to change: Telling, producing. We sought this inversion, that's what we wanted; because the feminist references with which we find ourselves in this work tell us that researching and writing is telling stories, that this produces worlds, and that the ways of narrating are also important. We write and tell stories hoping to build a better world for women mothers to live in. We produce stories driven by pain, gathering the force that spreads from movements that we women, together, know how to undo and redo, in life and in research. Accompanied in this way, we are instigated to see how our stories of women move in our text “turning the skirts”, making turns in the stories told about us; this is what inspires us to perceive the sound image of Maria Betânia's singing. For this reason, writing is a narrative that gathers our voices, allowing us to move forward with the question of how to appropriate our own stories of women and mothers. For this, we made the narrative passage from a single story to a single story; this is our play. It was woven with scraps collected from three experiences: my motherhood, the Maternando-se reading group, and my research in the academic master's degree in Psychology. With these scraps, we shuffle my stories and those of the women I met, and whom I read and reread, on the path of living and researching. We also confuse the times and contexts of these meetings. We imagine. We invented. Without clinging to concepts such as reality or fiction. We research with life, and life has these things. Motherhood, reading and care were the knots to sew the stories together and make a unique, singular piece exist. All this happened, there is no need to prove it. Now is the time to put the spotlight in that direction and invite anyone who wants to come and understand, feel and share.

A late adoption process involves the peculiar needs of each individual and representations of their psychic histories, which directly reflect on the relationship to be established. The situations of broken ties, rejections, negligence and violence experienced by the child significantly influence the development of the parent-child relationship. The constitution of the mother/father figure is also affected by these unhealed wounds of children, as well as by losses, suffering and narcissistic failures of the adopters themselves. This study aimed to analyze and understand the experience of adoptive parents in relation to the constitution of their parenting in the late adoption of children. This is a qualitative research developed through case studies. Participants were 5 mothers and 1 father who adopted children older than 2 years and/or adolescents. The adoptive parents answered a sociodemographic questionnaire, a semi-structured interview and participated in the Family Drawing with Story (DF-E) procedure. Data analysis was systematized through Minayo's content analysis and data interpretation was based on Winnicott's psychoanalytic theoretical framework and current literature on the subject. The data collected enabled the elaboration of three thematic categories: 1. Deromantization of parenting: fears, challenges and grieving experiences of the idealized child (biological and adoptive) and the idealized family; 2. Parent-child bonding in late adoption: the weight of the past and its repercussions; and 3. The participation of psychology in the constitution of adoptive parenting. In view of the discussions arising from the analyzed data, it was understood that in the path of late adoption, parents may encounter some obstacles to the constitution of their parenthood, such as the stigmas experienced in childhood, the desire to reproduce in adult life an ideal family model that was not experienced in childhood, or even the romanticization of motherhood/paternity through the idealization of a perfect adopted child and a perfect family relationship, without mishaps in the dynamics of functioning. The unresolved mourning for the biological child, as well as the fears, prejudices and resistance to late adoption were also obstacles that make it difficult to accept the realityestablished by the adoption process, especially at the beginning of it, since the adaptationperiod of the adoption requires that the parents know how to deal with the past history ofthe adopted child, working on jealousy, supporting the faults of the biological parents,without trying to erase or belittle the child's past, seeking, according to Winnicott's theory, to understand the initial dynamics of the child's life and what handling is necessary inorder to provide a good enough environment for her development and the consolidation ofa true affective bond. It was also verified the relevance of adoption support groups inraising awareness and demystifying late adoption and in facing the expectations andanxieties of adoptive parents, as well as the importance of psychological support and theindispensable role of the psychologist before, during and after adoption, enabling a welcoming space and listening to motivations, fantasies, fears and uncertainties, thus contributing to the elaboration of contents of the psyche of these parents, as well as to overcoming challenges arising from family life, redefining feelings and consolidating the bond parental-filial. Finally, it is concluded that the way parents elaborate their subjective experiences and welcome the difficulties of the adoption process, through mutual adoption, can enable the construction of an affective bond in the parent-child relationship.

The present research can contribute to making listening blackened, allowing the practice of clinical listening to be thought out and politicized in the understanding that racism exists, is perverse and appears in different ways in the process of psychotherapy or analysis and that in this course of the black talk about yourself, have the hearing blackened and from that become black, not only who speaks, but also who listens. Thus, in this research, we have as a general objective: Search in the work Become black, the political and social contributions of Neusa Santos Souza and understand how she discusses the black subject, in dialogue with other thinkers. And as specific objectives: a) Investigate the historical, political and epistemological dimension of whiteness in the formation of psychology and psychoanalysis. b) To become black and blacken psychoanalysis as a political aspect. c) Raciality in listening to black people, from the perspective of black thinkers. Having as a theoretical-methodological reference, Lélia Gonzalez proposal of Amefricanity as a call to broaden the routes of encounter of other powers and epistemologies, having the language of the black as a geographical and political place, in dialogue with the proposal of Franz Fanon, about black people and language. Creating a historical-political journey of the history of black people in the sciences and the place of psychology and psychoanalysis since its inception as a science. Having as final considerations, whiteness and the formations of black subjectivities since the process of whitening of races, until the present day.

The Covid-19 pandemic has brought about a series of changes in domestic spaces, particularly regarding care demands. Historically, we understand that in society, women, especially those who experience motherhood, are more responsible for domestic work and childcare. The perspective of intersectionality invites us to understand that the inequalities present in the distribution and exercise of care are deeply influenced not only by gender but also by markers of race, class, among others. By considering care as an inherent dimension of the human condition, we affirm its value and prioritize it in the debate that the pandemic has sparked. This research led us to understand the production of meanings (SPINK, 2004) of motherhood experiences in the context of the pandemic, based on open interviews with four mothers. The approaches around this understanding were shaped by the movement to investigate care experiences considering the perspective of intersectionality, as well as through the analysis of linguistic repertoires identified in the narratives of the interviewed mothers. The results point to a burden that the interviewed mothers feel when trying to balance paid work with caregiving responsibilities at home for their daughters and sons, often leading to conflicts regarding the sharing of responsibilities with the children's fathers, feelings of self-demand, guilt, while also expressing satisfaction in exercising motherhood. The research demonstrated that motherhood experiences, especially in the context of the pandemic, are built upon contradictions of feelings and desires, and in this sense, these experiences can be understood both as individual and collective. The research invites us to complex and situated problematizations regarding discussions that link motherhood, domestic work, and the pandemic, thus demonstrating the relevance of making them central in the context of public policies and society as a whole.

We present here the report of a research, through which we discussed issues involved in the perspective of insertion of the school/educational psychologist in the functional framework of teaching and learning institutions of the public network of the city of Recife. The research was carried out in two stages: a systematic bibliographical study on the history of psychology professionals' links to the Brazilian education departments, with emphasis on the Pernambuco State Department of Education (SEDUC-PE) and an  intervention research, with the participation of psychologists working at SEDUC-PE and basic education teachers working in the public school system in the city of Recife. The general objective of the intervention covered two directions: a) to analyze psychologists' conceptions about the work with School Psychology standardized by SEDUC-PE and b) to analyze notes from teachers of the basic education network about the work of Psychology professionals in schools. The main methodological procedure was the production of narratives, based on the presentation of incomplete statements. In these statements, we signaled several attributions related to the Psychology service in schools. The participants were instructed to write outcomes related to the situations indicated in the incomplete statements. In the results, we highlight the departure from the expectations of psychologists and of teachers regarding the insertion of the Psychology service in schools, in the way established by Law 13.935/2019, recently approved. In their notes, the teachers warned about the lack of preparation to deal with problems of a psychological nature in schools and argued about the need for this service. On the other hand, psychologists drew attention to the barriers to be overcome, until Psychology professionals actually act on the school floor. In our discussions, we drew attention to the prevalence of some issues: a) of a historical nature, with regard to the still absent effectiveness of up-to-date theoretical and practical assumptions defended for a critical performance in the Psychology service in Schools and b) of a political nature , with regard to: the effective presence of representatives of the guidelines for a critical role in the School Psychology service in the spaces that deliberate official guidelines for this service and the agility in defining criteria for the distribution of professionals in schools, with a forecast, including, for the preparation of psychologists for a critical performance, that must integrate the multidisciplinary team foreseen in the mentioned law.

The Covid-19 pandemic has brought about psychological impacts of various magnitudes and orders within different population groups. In response, several initiatives were created to alleviate the suffering of the Brazilian population by offering psychological services. Among these initiatives, a group of psychologists from various regions of Brazil organized themselves and formed the "Apoio Manaus" and "Abrigo Humano" groups to provide voluntary assistance to the population of Manaus. This work took place from January to March 2021, during the so-called oxygen crisis, one of the saddest episodes in the history of the pandemic in the country. As a researcher and participant (volunteer) in these groups, I aim, in this research approved by the Research Ethics Committee (CEP), to understand the challenges, reverberations, and meanings of this voluntary action through dialogue with seven other psychologists who were part of the groups. The invited psychologists participating in the research live in various municipalities in Brazil and served in different roles within the group, such as coordination, supervision, and volunteer work. Two virtual conversation circles were conducted, the first with five and the second with four participants, during which we could share our experiences in that emergency situation. This study is characterized as a relational research grounded in social constructionism and has developed a Thematic Analysis of the narratives produced during the meetings, resulting in the following themes: Vulnerability, Collective Construction, Resignification of Practices, and Affectations. The discussion was generated through the articulation of narratives and the theoretical framework of Collaborative-Dialogical Practices. Among the considerations, we understand that the conversation circles about those experiences allowed for the production of new meanings, both in the professional and personal spheres, through reflective dialogues. It is also worth highlighting the relevance of that moment and the experience being documented here as an ethical and political commitment, arising from the perspective of those who were present with others in their pain and sought to collectively construct ways of caring.

 This research seeks to understand the coping strategies to deal with  situations experienced as stigmatizing, the impact of racism in the life story of a black woman,

through the narratives of her way of life, family, work, movements (black and feminist),
religion, identifying their support networks and in their experiences the contribution of social
and political movements in their trajectory, dialoguing with references of black feminism. The
life story focused on is that of Vanda Menezes, a black woman from Alagoas, a psychologist, a
militant of the black movement, a feminist and the first secretary for women in the state of
Alagoas. A woman active in the struggle for the rights of the black population through her
participation in social movements and political management places. Ethnic-racial studies and
discussions in Brazil have been acquiring space and making it possible to express other
narratives about the history of the black population, reinvigorating the debate on their social
condition and effective participation in the construction of Brazilian culture. The research is
characterized by a qualitative methodology that emphasizes the socially constructed nature of
reality, in which the researcher seeks to understand the issues that highlight the way in which
social experience is constructed and acquires meaning. It is based on the assumptions of social
constructionism that invites us to challenge the objective bases of conventional knowledge and
deconstruct the myths that can correctly and faithfully represent reality. The meeting and
dialogue with the interlocutor took place in a fluid and spontaneous way, guided by the
proposal to report her life story, her path, significant resources, support networks, which
helped and accompanied her in each context. Four aspects were highlighted for understanding
and analyzing the dialogue with our interlocutor: About Vanda Menezes: her life story,
highlighting her family, professional training and discussions on racial issues. Being a black
woman: discussion of racial identification, what it means to be a black woman and the
importance of black feminism in this process. The path to political participation and actions:
marks the beginning of their militancy, participation in management positions and the
importance of incorporating gender and ethnic-racial issues in the planning and execution of
policies. Strategies for coping with stigmatizing situations: building your support network and
coping strategies to deal with situations of daily oppression and violence, signaling the
articulation between subjective and collective resources. We understand the consequences of
black feminism as the need to counter the Eurocentric and mistaken view of society about the
black population, black women, mobilizing against racism and sexism in the search for equal
rights and opportunities.

Throughout our lives, we go through many stressful situations. In environments in which the very nature of work is stressful, in addition to the organizational structure that contributes to occupational stress, psychological distress is accentuated. One of the professions that fit this profile is the military policeman, who deals daily with situations of violence. In this scenario, the monitoring of a professional psychologist is necessary for the prevention and intervention of works focused on the mental health of the military police. The present work has as objective to analyze the intention of the search of the psychological service in the Military Police of the state of Alagoas, from the Theory of the Planned Action; in addition, to identify positive and negative beliefs about the demand for psychological care in the Military Police; as well as analyzing the relationship between beliefs and the intention to seek psychological care on the partof military police officers. The dissertation consists of two chapters. In the first chapter, we have ademographic study on the psychology service that was implemented, and how it is being offered today, in the military police of the state of Alagoas. In the second chapter, we present a qualitative work through field research; through which semi-structured interviews will be carried out, based on the theoretical framework of the Theory of Planned Action, with the objective of analyzing the police officers' beliefs regarding the demand for the psychology service offered in that unit of the corporation. The expected results of this research are to obtain relevant information for public policies aimed at mental health, in the scope of prevention and intervention, of public security in the state.

Reality shows are one of the main products of the entertainment age. Beyond the television frame, such programs move the social imaginary on social networks and, consequently, outside of them, gaining a continental scope from what happens throughout each bURadcaVW eSiVRde. ThiV VWXd\ fRcXVeV Rn an eSiVRde Rf Whe UealiW\ VhRZ ³CaWfiVh: The TV ShRZ´ ZhRVe Wheme iV fUaXd in digiWal relationships. From the suspicion that he is dating a fake profile, the participant contacts the presenters to find the profile user. In this journey through the meeting of the digital partner, a question is asked throughout the episode: Is the profile of this person I'm in love with fake or real? Question that addresses the research work of this study. In order to investigate love in nowadays, we highlight the comedy of the sexes in digital relationships from this program. What does Catfish The TV Show teach us about the comedy of the sexes in digital relationships? Based on the dialogue between psychoanalysis and studies on the status of the contemporary image, the anamorphosis of the researcher's gaze was used as a methodological operator in the treatment of the research object. The comedy of the sexes that links the love experience in Catfish questions the relationship between technology and the subject of the unconscious, placing the effect that technological objects produce on the experience of contingency as an ethical dilemma. The promises of digital life are intertwined with the experience of love, making it not only the result of a common malaise in the relationship with the other, but a hole in the very logic that the digital space partially realizes. Thus, the love mismatch in Catfish shows that the dance of love is intertwined as an experience contrary to the order of capitalist discourse, circumventing the promises of digitalized life.

Suicide is a multifactorial phenomenon, which involves predisposing and precipitating factors in several spheres. When studying it, it is necessary to understand it as suicidal behavior, which encompasses ideas, plans and attempts. It is a national and global public health problem, with an annual average of 700,000 deaths worldwide. Therefore, many countries develop independent and governmental prevention strategies. In Brazil, the Yellow September campaign stands out, which has been present in face-to-face spaces and social networks since 2015. The country is at the beginning of the development of its national prevention strategies. Thus, studies are important to contribute to the prevention of suicidal behavior, including theories that help in understanding the beliefs that give rise to behavior, such as the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB), which has worldwide prominence and has been used, among other areas, in the study of preventive behaviors in health and in the basis of educational campaigns. In this sense, thinking about the dialogue between prevention campaigns, social networks and beliefs, this work has as main objective: identify the strategies used in social networks for the prevention of suicidal behaviour during the Yellow September campaign, and, more specifically, identify, with the assistance of TPB, the beliefs that characterize the contents published, besides demonstrating this theory as an important theoretical model for formulating suicide prevention campaigns. For this, 4 profiles related to the dissemination of Yellow September on Instagram and Facebook (Meta) were analyzed with the help of iramuteq software. In summary, all profiles had in common, exclusively, the beliefs of control. Behavioral, normative and control beliefs were identified, especially in the Ministry of Health profile. Emphasis on different types of beliefs was found in the other profiles (Center for The Valorization of Life, Brazilian Psychiatric Association and Ministry of Women, Family and Human Rights). Based on the results, this study developed a systematized model of contribution to the national suicide prevention strategy in Brazil, based on experiences already consolidated in other countries and establishing dialogues with TPB. Finally, it is expected that the classification of the contents of the publications and the models constructed here will contribute with the improvement of The Yellow September and inspire future strategies in Brazil.

In recent years, autism has figured as an enigma in psychoanalytic clinical practice giving rise to much research, mostly, on childhood and diagnosis. However, a gap was identified in the academic productions about autism and adolescence and, in this way, this research was constituted with the theoretical referential of Lacanian psychoanalysis. Thus, it departed from the conception of puberty as an awakening to uneasiness, with the purpose of investigating the implications of puberty on autism. To that end, it was based on three autobiographies of autistics ± Naoki Higashida and his permanent struggle with his body, Daniel Tammet and the arrival of puberty, and Temple Grandin and his nervous excitations ± whereas that writing in autism testifies something of his subjective functioning. Furthermore, two discussion points were privileged: puberty and the reinvention of the relationship with the body; and, the encounter with the Other sex. According to the writing of these autistics, there is for them a potentialization of a jouissance without a dam, and in face of this, tKH\¶UH impelled to build a singular solution to deal with this excess. From this investigation we deduce the impasses of puberty for autistic people, especially regarding the body itself in their attempts to make a body artificially. Thus, with the advent of the real of puberty, these inventions, usually built in childhood, seem to be unable to cope with what is imposed and requires each one to reinvent this body, and a new way of relating to it and to the Other. Finally, from the reading of the autobiographies, it is indicated that there is no interest in the Other sex, thus pointing to the possibility of another field of investigation.

The link between action, creation and alienation, in the interface with the modes of production, is investigated here in its processuality, through the artistic field. For that, we chose Chaplin’s film Modern Times as a field of investigation, mediated by the assumptions of Historical and Dialectical Materialism, as well as by the methodology of Analysis of Nuclei of Meaning. Thus, we seek to develop a methodology for the analysis of imagery nuclei of meaning, which offer methodological coordinates for studies with images, in line with the of Socio-historical Psychology’s framework. A path that supported the construction of 4 nuclei of meaning, of imagetic origin, which address: the dialectical pair built between creative and alienated/strange characteristics of the action expressed in the film, as well as its contradictions and interdependencies; human suffering in dialogue with the processes of alienation presents at work; the technological arrangements in dialogue with the alienation/strangeness process; the category of time as a guide to reflect on the management of the process of alienation/strangeness expressed in the film in dialogue with the temporal dynamics. Imagetic nuclei that were built based on 9 analytical indicators: coordinates about time; the modernity of the time and the relationship with technological advances; the unforeseen as something unwanted; impacts of alienated/alienating modes of production; the (de)humanization of work; institutionalization of inadequacy; unemployment, collective organization and coping with suffering conditions; happiness and its determinants; the production of alienation in relation to alienated and alienating modes of production cre.a(c)tion. The indicators were developed from 38 emblematic scenes (pre-indicators) of characteristics that refer to processes of alienation/strangeness present in the investigated work. The categories Contrast, Author Linkage and Direction were developed as qualitative resources to investigate the contradictions present in the comparative analysis between processes of alienation/strangeness and an authorial relationship with the modes of production. With that, it enabled the investigation of a qualitative dynamic of the characteristics that make up the process of alienation/strangeness in the analyzed film. Human suffering, portrayed in the work, appears as a comic resource, built on the basis of comedy itself; suffering as an instrument of social criticism and capable of mobilizing a cathartic effect, which occurs in the relationship between contradictory and paradoxical, between form and contents of film. The technological and futuristic arrangements portrayed expand the film's perspective of timelessness, establishing reflective bridges about the emergence, permanence and changes of technical apparatus, to contemporary technological arrangements that organize fields of work, such as those linked to digital platforms of services provision. Finally, the temporality developed in Modern Times, contributes to an analysis of the rhythm, direction and speed that sustain the dynamics of alienation/strangeness, in a time proposed as modern. Both the chosen film work and the proposed methodological paths demonstrate the potential of an analysis of psychosocial aspects present in artistic/cultural manifestations, especially imagery resources. Finally, the meanings around the ways in which work is organized in the film studied, as well as its implications for processes of dehumanization and human exploitation, offer a critical perspective on the present, past and future of an illusion of modernity.
 

Death occupied a prominent place during the pandemic of COVID-19, which began in 2020. The increasing numbers of losses caused by the disease summoned each person to approach the possibility of his own finitude. We started from the idea of death itself, from the Freudian discourse, as something impossible to represent, to question whether the pandemic context would be likely to cause effects on the  discourse about death, especially for health professionals who experience various losses in their daily lives. Thus, the research aimed to investigate death in the experience of frontline doctors during the pandemic from the Freudian psychoanalytic referential. To this end, semi-structured interviews were conducted with 10 medical professionals who worked in the front line of a public hospital in Alagoas. The analysis of the interview transcripts was based on Bardin's proposal, with psychoanalysis as the guiding theoretical body for the semantic content analysis. The interviewees pointed out that the pandemic showed a rupture in the ideal of medicine, and the limitations imposed by the absence of knowledge caused frustration. The imminence of death in the experience of the doctors appeared as a failure, as something to be denied, circumvented; and as a source of suffering. Death in medical training has its function, but it is insufficient, because the incessant attempt to get around finitude makes it even more evident that there is something that escapes the subject. The pandemic provoked effects for the doctors in this study by bringing death to the forefront and questioning the place that the encounter with finitude has in their lives.

Domestic and family violence against women is an issue that affects women worldwide and in Brazil, being a violation of fundamental human rights. According to art. 5 of Law No. 11.340/2006, popularly known as the Maria da Penha Law, domestic and family violence against women is configured as any action or omission based on gender, which causes death, injuries, physical, sexual or psychological suffering and moral or property damage. As recommended in Law No. 11,340/2006 and Law No. 13,984/2020, assistance to men who are perpetrators of domestic and family violence against women can be carried out as one of the urgent protective measures, through the male perpetrator of domestic violence against women attendance to recovery and re-education programs and psychosocial monitoring, through individual assistance and/or support groups. Such assistance is a possibility to seek re-education and resignification about the act by the male perpetrator of violence, as a way to reduce the recurrence of domestic and family violence against women in Brazil. The general objective of this study is to map the information available on the websites of the State Courts of Justice in Brazil about the assistance to men who are perpetrators of domestic and family violence against women. And as specific objectives: describe and analyze the geographic and temporal location of the programs; compare the programs developed in each state; analyze how the documents systematize the assistance offered to men who are perpetrators of domestic and family violence against women in Brazil; and identify Psychology actions made available by the State Courts of Justice in the care of male perpetrators of violence. It is a documentary research, being used as documents 175 news posted on the websites of the State Courts of Justice in Brazil. To systematize the study, the stages of metasynthesis were used: exploration, refinement, description and analysis. The results show that most state Courts of Justice have been putting into practice the care to men who commit domestic violence through reflexive groups that are based on a multidisciplinary and multiprofessional work. The consultations seek to promote reflection and accountability of men who commit domestic and family violence against women through the idea of socio-education, bringing relevant aspects to the practice of resocialization, which makes it possible to reduce recidivism and implement aspects of the Maria da Penha Law. From the results found, the need for a greater and more systematic availability of information on the websites of the State Courts of Justice derives, as greater access to information can foster dialogue between professionals who work in the care of male perpetrators of violence and the population in general, as well as providing a greater awareness of the various demands that are met through the Maria da Penha Law, which later can have a beneficial impact on affective relationships within the family and extrapolate to the social sphere, in which everyone is inserted and can benefit.

This research delved into the experiences and livingness of three black women, users of a Reference Center for Social Assistance - CRAS, located in a small town in the Alagoas countryside to understand the modes of resistance developed and used by them in facing racial oppression, For this, as specific objectives this study sought to identify the resources (material and psychological) used to face the oppressions experienced in daily life; to reflect on the place of black women in the technical guidance documents and booklets produced by the Ministry of Citizenship; discuss about the production of quilombola in the context of interactions in the territory of CRAS. In order to conduct the research, I started with knowledge that developed in the surroundings of large centers, in the favelas, in the kitchens, in the old slave quarters, in the gardens, since it was in this movement for survival that our experiences allowed us to create parameters of survival and tell about our trajectories and, therefore, subaltern, counter-colonial and black feminist productions are the theoretical basis that supports the study. The conversations, offered by bell hooks, provided the instrument used to enter and experience the field, allowing the researcher together with the research participants to be in a situation of democratic, fair research and knowledge sharing. The research results were produced through the instrumentality of the writings of Conceição Evaristo, which in addition to presenting the reality of these women also made it possible to denounce the historical, social, political and cultural constructions that allow and are omitted in the face of the violence that black women are exposed daily. The narratives were organized around three axes: Public policies and forms of resistance, black women and affectivity, family and work. Public policies are understood by the research participants as a reservoir of hope and also as an aid in their daily needs. The family, especially the children, are cited by them as the main reason and driving force of the resistance they make on a daily basis. The love in the lives of the black women participating in the research is blurred in acts of
violence practiced by people who are also understood as objects of affection.

Psychological practices, in situations of socio-environmental risks and disasters, have gained new contours for their intervention and understanding of these phenomena. The objective of this research is to understand the changes in psychological care with the use of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT's) in the period of the Covid-19 pandemic. It is based on the theoretical-methodological framework of Discursive Practices and Production of Meanings, guided by Social Constructionism. For the construction of the information, we identified documents in the public domain, produced by the Federal Council of Psychology, which regulate the use of ICT's and an online conversation circle with five psychology professionals who work with psychological care from different sectors of the state of Alagoas, and experienced the use of ICT's at the time of the pandemic in their practices. The analysis of public domain documents and the speeches of professionals in the online conversation wheel made it possible to understand that the use of ICTs in psychological practices were fundamental in the pandemic period. Although there were reservations and insecurities about the use of these devices, this same caution was possible to identify in the actions of the regulatory body of the profession. However, when using them, professionals were able to recognize their efficiency and practicality, as well as they were promptly regulated.

Considering the hospital context and the relationship between pandemic and mental health, in which death situations cause changes in the rituals of face-to-face identification of the bodies of family members, as they imply risks of contagion, it is necessary to use remote technologies for this communication. This research focused on the production of meanings of the communication of difficult news among health professionals directly involved in the Covid-19pandemic at the Professor Alberto Antunes University Hospital, located in Maceió, Alagoas. The professional practices involved in these processes were investigated; mental distress issues involving professionals; and the affects/effects produced on/in health professionals in the communication of difficult news in the context of the experience of the Covid-19 pandemic. Approaching the social constructionist movement, discursive practices and production of meanings, this research consisted of the production of a field diary and a conversation circle with professionals. The field diary is an important tool for the production of information about the theme and the object, inaddition to working on the implications, positions and affects of the researcher in the field. The conversation wheel was held with the health professionals involved in the Communication of Difficult News of the Covid-19 Pandemic. For the organization and visualization of the dialogues in the conversation circle, the production of dialogic maps was used. The maps help to identify the linguistic repertoires used in dialogic interanimation, allowing the analysis of the production of meanings in the context. Five sets of meanings emerged from the circle: work processes, communication/dialogue, fake news, affectations and coping strategies. In addition to protocols, everyday relationships strengthened mutual support, bringing implications for the mental health of the health workers surveyed.

The present research aimed to investigate the mutual gazing role in situations of joint attention in cases of children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). We start from assumptions of Cultural Psychology in which human development is revealed in the history of each person's interactions with the world, which are mediated by language. With this perspective, we invested in an alternative to the predominance of studies dedicated to the identification of neurobehavioral aspects in communication in cases of ASD. We justify the relevance of this alternative based on the complexity of psychological processes, which cannot be treated only as processes of a neurological nature. We recognize in this study the discussions about communication that deal with the broad active interdependence between speaker, listener and meaning. This interdependence is neglected in more traditional explanations, which simulate human communication in computer programs. The participants of the present research were two children diagnosed with ASD, who do not use speech and their therapist. This was a longitudinal study of two cases. The empirical material analyzed consisted of 19 videos with an average duration of 30 minutes. These videos consisted of recordings of participants involved in therapeutic activities. From a microgenetic analysis of the interaction that was videotaped records , we captured six frames, through which we discussed the mutual gazing role in the joint attention. In the results, we highlight that mutual gazing was part of a minimal sequence of actions and responses that anchored a wide variability of responsiveness situations. This variability gave visibility to the agentivity by children with ASD who do not use speech in communicative situations. We observed that the alignment between the therapist's actions and the children's responses, or vice versa, was preserved in the variability of responsiveness. In this way, we point to the child's attention for environment. We conclude that this attention was driven by interests, and it was exercised within the scope of communicative processes, so that it was, necessarily a situation of sharing meanings. We also emphasize that the expression of the children's and the therapist's particularities in responsiveness was reflected as a reason for the variations and were related to the history of the child's relationship with the object/event that was involved in the communicative situation. The expression of particularities in responsiveness confirmed, then, the level of intersubjectivity in communicative process.

This work aims to understand, in a qualitative perspective, the practices of psychology in the Childhood and Youth Court in relation to adoption as a guarantee of the right to family and community life. We choose, as a theoretical-methodological framework, the Discursive Practices and Sense Productions, based on the Social Constructionism movement, which considers language as a social action. To this end, a review of the dialogic literature and an analysis of the policy of the National Plan for the Promotion, Protection and Defense of the Right of Children and Adolescents to Family and Community Living were carried out. In all, eighteen articles were selected from the Scientific Electronic Library Online database and from the Coordination for the Improvement of Highet Education Personnel, most of which were published in psychology journals. The research results make it possible to understand that psychological practices are sometimes presented in a position of “what should be”, sometimes in a position of “what is possible to do”. The narrative line in relation to the landmarks of laws, decrees and projects corroborate the questioning of adoption as a right to family and community coexistence since the reception rates are still high. Most studies around adoption bring up adoptive parentage as last resort. And one of the most frequent motivations of the suitors for this option is infertility, which generates fantasies and myths. Another aspect highlighted is the diversity of family arrangements and homoparenthood, a subject loaded with prejudice, with Psychology having an important commitment against discrimination. The issue of adoption the practices of psychology professionals inserted in the Brazilian judicial system concerning the right to family and community coexistence,

The present research deals with the relationship between the military police and violent crime. It is noteworthy that the function of the military police is the preservation of public order and ostensible patrolling in uniform. Therefore, if this professional has as main functions the maintenance of law and public order, what makes him get involved with violent crime? Would the uniform be an element that authorizes this passage from law to crime? It is noteworthy that the uniform of the military police has peculiar characteristics thatseem to be fundamental to think about thisrelationship between law and crime, violence and law, military police and violent crime. In addition, this uniform is regulated, standardized and standardizing. In order to answer the questions that are in evidence in this work, a journey through the history of the Military Police in Brazil, its function and its relationship with violence will be carried out. Subsequently, the relationship between the military police and the military institution, as well as the insignia of this organization, will be explored. Finally, an incursion into the relationship of this professional with the law, crime and violence is carried out. Faced with these questions, in this work, non-fiction literature and the Lacanian topological dimension will be used as contributions that can enable reflections and serve as a key to reading the phenomena addressed.

It is widely recognized that children's early contact with children's literature helps in learning to read and write. However, there is a scarcity of research that invests in explanations about the underlying processes that make literature an important resource in the teaching and learning of reading and writing. Based on the official indexes on literacy in the state of Alagoas and with a view to contributing to an integrated approach with regard to learning to read and write, in this research we seek to bring subsidies that point out methodological strategies for teachers in the early years of elementary school. the use of literature and collaborative text in the classroom. This dissertation consists of three scientific articles. The first article presents a literature review that addresses the history of teaching reading and writing in Brazil. In order to discuss how this story impacts the school literacy process today. The second article is a bibliographic review aiming to argue that reading and writing should be taught as social practices. Extending this argument, we argue that the art of children's literature offers resources to mediate this teaching, enhancing this quality of reading and writing. The third article presents an intervention research with the objective of investigating the mediation of literature in the teaching-learning process of reading and writing. Teachers and students from an elementary school participated in this research. In the methodology, we completed two stages. We started with a survey to gather previous information about the teaching of literature in the school that was the scenario of the investigation. For this survey, we used three procedures: 1- interview with teachers who taught literature, 2- observation-participant in literature classes and 3- prior analysis of the level of writing learning of the children participating in the research. In the second stage, we conducted literature workshops with these children combined with the production of collaborative texts. The results showed that the mediation of children's literature activates the experiences of the Self and, thus, supports the focus on learning to read and write as social practices. We conclude that the mediation of literature combined with the production of collaborative texts favor the integration of the processes underlying the uses of language and the metalinguistic reflection of children. Pedagogical activities with this format open an opportunity for creativity in learning and developing the uses of oral and written language in an inseparable way.

This research regards to the attempt of comprehending the problematics and
ambivalences of the Brazilian prison system from the racial perspective taking into
account that the majority of the prison population is made up of black people. The racial
issue in this sense was a relevant element for the analysis of institutional practices in
Brazilian prisons. This way, in order to comprehend the racial issue in Brazil it was
crucial to analyse how the historical development of black people took place in the
country. For such thing, a historical trajectory from the period of slavery to the current
days was carried out, discussing racism and understanding its function and its forms of
expression in Brazilian society, relating to the influence of slavery and racism in the
Brazilian prison system institutional practices. Furthermore, this paper presents the
articulation of psychology in favour of the Anti-prison and Anti-racist struggle and
discusses Penal Alternatives and Penal Abolitionism.

The health issue of the quilombola population is still a little debated topic in the academy,
so we seek to respond to this demand more specifically in community health care, so we
aim to analyze in the present research the narratives about the care practices present in a
quilombola community in the agreste of Alagoas, as well as identifying the health care
practices present in the quilombola territory and understanding how ethnic-racial issues
are involved in the maintenance of health care practices produced in the community. Due
to the pandemic situation, which forced us to adopt measures of social isolation, we
optedto conduct semi-structured interviews with caregivers / curators and users of health
care practices present in the quilombola territory, for this we count with the participation
of a local agent, resident and one of the community leaders who participated not only in
the mediation, but in the entire field and analysis elaboration process. After the interviews,
based on the thematic analysis, we defined two thematic units: 1. Health care practices
present in the community; 2. Yard, leaves, teas and garrafadas or other ways of talking
about care, which were analyzed from the black narratives involved, which pointed to
teas, garrafadas and other practices that use leaves and roots as reconfigured ancestral
knowledge in the present from an ethics of care.

The idea of childhood in this work is based on the individual’s potential and creativity, and
is based on the notion of child as an active and real person. Donald Winnicott considers
play as fundamental and constitutive of childhood and presents play as a facilitator of
development, communication and social relations. Thus, based on Winnicott's
psychoanalytic theory, this study aims to investigate and analyze the relationship
between culture and child play. And as specific objectives to discuss, reflect and analyze
the culture expressed in the play and games of children livin in a lagoon community. This
research was approved by the Ethics Committee of the Federal University of Alagoas.
This is a qualitative action research, which took place in a philanthropic kindergarten
school, and had as participants 20 children aged between 5 to 6 years. Six workshops
were held, and the following themes were addressed in them: playing, games, friendship,
family, place where they live, culture and creativity. In these workshops, there were
playful moments and the use of field diaries and the Thematic Drawing-Story procedure.
To analyze the collected material, the Content Analysis technique was used. As results, it
was possible to observe an expanded notion of family, with the presence of relatives
beyond the family nucleus, containing father, mother, uncles and aunts, brothers and
sisters, grandparents, cousins, friends and pets. Racial, economic and gender issues
were also noticed. In addition, the presence of characteristics related to the community,
such as the strong presence of the lagoon, were present during the workshops and the
children showed creativity in the moments of playing. The data enabled the elaboration of
four thematic categories, they were: 1. Family, with issues related to endogenous
integrating relationships, protection, aggression and conflict, as well as figures of the
nuclear and extended family, and issues of gender, race and religion; 2. Arts, in which
questions about music, cinema, creation and literature were discussed; 3. Local context,
it was discussed about community environments, exogenous relationships, aggression /
violence, religion and the presence of nature and animals; and 4. Welcoming research
space, reflected on the representation of the workshops as welcoming, as well as the
creative possibilities and exogenous relationships. Given the discussions between the
data and the theory adopted as the basis for this research, it can be concluded that
creative play can cause a subversion of rules and socially imposed roles, as well as the
elaboration and contact with the most diverse cultural experiences. According to
Winnicott's theory, the results pointed to culture as something that is not static, being a
relationship of mutual constitution between individuals and the culture in which they find
themselves in, as demonstrated in the creative possibilities observed in children's play.
The play would be a way of entering the culture, a factor of assimilation of the cultural

elements, since the ludic practice allows the appropriation of cultural codes, and also has
a crucial importance in the socialization process. It also points out the importance that the
family has, not only for development, but for contact with culture’s objects. It was
observed that playing as a form of communication is supported by the method beyond
the traditional clinic and respect for the space and the children's speeches proved to be
crucial for the good development and result of the workshops' intervention.

This thesis arises from a discontent that presentes itself when the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM) categories enter the school as a waf of intepretation that are often presented as a solution or response to what stumbles or causes an impasse in the adolescents schooling. Thereby, this paper aimed to investigate the gears that operate in the educators speech related to the diagnoses of adolescents. For that, a bibliographic survey was made in the Virtual Health Library and Scientific Electronic Library Online databases, in order to identify how diagnosis, adolescence and school notions are articulated and, more specifically, how the psychoanalysis studies make this articulation. We proposed an Incursion into the Nova Escola magazine – a nationally production directed to educators in Brazil – in order to compose our   research corpus as an Incursion into the Nova Escola. Thus, the publications related to this research theme promoted an analysis about the way diagnoses relate to adolescence. The psychoanalytic theoretical framework, including Lacan and Freud contributions, introduced us to the Freudian notion that educating is among the occupations that carry an inherent language impossibility and, further, we were led to the Lacan’s discourses theory. We used as a methodological operator the four discourses, proposed by Lacan in his 17 Seminar – The psychoanalysis reverse, to analyze discursive fragments in Nova Escola about diagnoses and adolescence between the years of 2010 and 2020. The Nova Escola Incursion results indicate that the diagnostic categories related to adolescence are Oppositional Defiant Disorder (ODD), Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), Anxiety and Depression Disorder. Furthermore, other aspects referring to the adolescents “mental health”, were suicide, bullying and self-harm. The analysis also allowed us to characterize a discursive movement: specialists invitation logic; indicated guidelines by the article’s authors, and a tension between the medical field knowledge and the educator wisdom. This movement is related to a discursive dynamic that matches the university discourse, the master’s discourse and the hysteric’s discourse, respectively. At last, it was identified a response to what doesn’t cease to write in the publications related to the adolescent’s diagnosis: an impasse in the adolescence sense.

The guideline of this study goes through the education of elderly women in non-conventional territories. Education was not always a right for women and, when possible, other boundaries remained unfeasible for their access and permanency in this context. However, this fact does not mean the absence of educational and formative processes, whereas they are susceptible to other spaces, other pedagogy and wisdom that developed the itineraries of their existence and lifestyle. It is about disseminating and fortifying the existence of a tight bond between education and the ground they stand, which is full of wisdom and other knowledges. The interlocutors of this study are four elderly women inserted in a collective work of embroidery at the State of Alagoas, called Bordazul. The research had the main goal of comprehend practises of subjectification of these women in different non-traditional learning spaces. As specific goals, the study sought to localise these non-traditional learning spaces that elderly women are found immersed; to evidence the memories of these women about their educational itineraries, as well as the implications of gender in these processes; and to discuss the meanings by the female elders in their educational processes. Based on the theoretical framework of subaltern feminisms and other non-hegemonic knowledge, the memories and emotions were used as epistemic and methodological resources, enabling a memorial writing. With that, it was possible to formulate letters that signalise the epistemic place where the study begins. The “pesquisarCom”, proposed by Márcia Moraes, and the consideration of a committed work, inspired by bell hooks, supported the construction of methodological steps, considering that they establish the commitment and articulation of a side by side posture among the subjects that belongs to the process. The meetings happened through calls and an initial face-to-face contact. The strategy used at these meetings was the act of conversation, demarcating the value of growing a dialogue for the construction of a subjective involvement. The registration form was done by recording the meetings. From the resonances of the conversations was constructed some storytelling that could contextualise the interlocutors and their formative/educational processes. At last, it was found that these women were born in rural areas and had some intersections of power in their lives that reverberate at the inpossibility of being inserted in a formal education Child labour, work as an adult, the distance from home to school, marriage, parenting and other factors presented themselves as difficulties in common to the narrative of these subjects. Education for these women is conceived and interlinked in their routine, as learning and pedagogy comes in the form of observing and practising. Orality and use of hands can be considered as paths for the construction and transmission of knowledge and wisdom. Nowadays, embroidery appears as a political and agency tool, which build a space and a community for learning.

The terms intersex and intersexo refer to people born with chromosomal, genital or gonadal characteristics that deviate from traditionally established models of a female or male body. Based on the framework of Socio-Historical Psychology, this study aims to investigate the conceptions of intersexuality, its sense and its meanings in scientific and artistic literature. A historical review of the continuities and ruptures in the conceptualization of intersexuality was developed, highlighting its use in research in Psychology, in addition to exploring the possible interconnections between the fields of Art, Literature and Psychology. The methodology is developed in five phases: exploration, crossing, refinement, description and interpretation. In the exploration phase, the mapping of literary works, through the social cataloging site Goodreads yielded 165 titles, which were systematized and stored in our own database. Through the crossing, one duplication of material was excluded. During the refinement, the following inclusion criteria were considered: stand-alone fiction books, of the genre novel, written in Portuguese, English or Spanish, with an intersex main character. Then, the 27 books that met these criteria were described. It was identified, in the historical series, the earliest work − Raptor by the author Gary Jennings, published in 1992 −, and that the years 2013 and 2015 feature the most publications (5). It was also found that in the synopsis of 14 books, the intersexuality of the main characters is not explicit. In these, the themes of silence and secrecy are presented as emblematic. In the final stage, the complete reading of Middlesex by Jeffrey Eugenides was conducted and passages, plot points and speeches by characters that refer to intersexuality were delineated. Four thematic discussions of parts of Middlesex (Books One, Two, Three, and Four) were used– through the contradictions experienced during the reading – to analyze fragments of the work and possible dialogues between gender, intersexuality and Vygotsky's theoretical assumptions were analyzed. Subsequently, the thematic axes of meaning (gender, body, biomedicine and silence) were discussed as central aspects of the tangled construction of the concept of intersexuality in the work. The senses and meanings of the work were discussed, among which the following stand out: silence as coming from fear, shame, ignorance, oppression and the untranslatability of certain experiences into words; gender as a mutable category, socially, historically and culturally constructed; the body, which is crossed by social determinations while also being a biological body; and biomedicine which takes the body as an object of study and produces binary discourses of (a)normality. The final considerations allow us to reaffirm the fruitfulness of the use of online mapping tools for research in Psychology and the potentiality of the interlocution between Art, Literature and Psychology. In conclusion, the secret and the silence are configured as prominent elements in the experience of intersexuality in both life and art, appearing in emblematic ways in the historical rescue, in the Middlesex work and the analyzed synopses. Finally, it reinforces the importance of studies on the phenomenon of intersexuality in Psychology and the construction of bridges for dialogue between Psychology and Art.

The historical construction of the notion of individual and society is marked by different attributions of value to men and women, ranking the differences between the sexes in order to position the male being as superior to the female, with the belief of female inferiority being reaffirmed by the stereotyped image of woman. In this sense, we observe that sexism, as prejudice and discrimination against women, can also be observed in the work environment, in an interpersonal and institutional way, especially in environments considered typically male, such as police institutions. In this context of stereotypes, prejudice and discrimination against women, we believe it is important to study sexism in the workplace. That said, we initially carried out a Systematic Literature Review that aimed to identify and analyze studies that deal with “expression of sexism in the workplace”. Therefore, we performed a bibliographic search in the SciELO, PePSIC, LILACS, Index Psi, PsycINFO, PsycARTICLES and Web of Science databases and selected 129 articles, which were submitted to manual analysis and by the IRAMUTEQ software. The results showed greater publication in recent years, a predominance of international and quantitative empirical articles and that the topic is of multidisciplinary interest, with emphasis on Psychology. The studies present a well-defined methodological structure and emphasize the ambivalent character of sexism, its institutional manifestation and the figure of woman as victim of this phenomenon. The theme is of growing interest, but deserves more attention in the local context. Subsequently, we carried out an empirical study based on the Theory of Planned Action that aimed to verify sexist experiences with an emphasis on evidencing the salient beliefs of behavioral, normative and control nature related to the female behavioral intention to combat sexism in the police work environment. Therefore, we conducted semi-structured individual interviews with a sample of 29 civil policewomen from the State of Alagoas, whose speeches were transcribed and analyzed manually and using the IRAMUTEQ software. The results confirmed that
sexism is strong in the police environment, manifested in a hostile or benevolent way in interpersonal and institutional relationships, with emphasis on hostile sexism by co-workers. Control beliefs were more prominent, followed by behavioral beliefs, demonstrating that the policewomen perceive more facilitating and restrictive/impeding factors of the behavior in question compared to advantages/disadvantages and social referents, that may indicate a greater impact of these control beliefs about behavioral intention. Sexism is related to the condition of the policewoman as a woman, professional and mother and is reflected in protection, sexual division of labor, punishments, jokes, disqualifying comments, inferiorization, isolation, exclusion and questions about the female capacity in the profession. Other factors raised in beliefs may be related to organizational climate and harassment (moral and sexual). This dissertation reached the proposed objectives and we believe that its results can expand the understanding and debate on the subject, encouraging new studies and supporting public policies to combat sexism in the workplace.

This study aimed to analyze the behavioral intention of users to use Tinder, based on the Theory of Planned Action (TAP). The dissertation is composed of two chapters. The first chapter underlies the discussion of the Tinder encounter app. It consists of a systematic literature review carried out in six databases, with the descriptors “social” AND “encounter” AND “Tinder” AND “relationship” and “social” AND “dating” AND TINDER. After the selection of articles (N:59), the introductions and conclusions were cut, as well as their organization in two textual corpuses, submitted to analysis by the Iramuteq software. The results elucidated by corpus 1,
demonstrated theoretical and objective aspects related to the application, pointing to casual sex as the main consequences of use, together with narcissistic personality characteristics. The findings from the analysis of corpus 2 brought up the discussion about the importance of further studies on user motivation. The app was identified as an elicitor of anxiety, associated with narcissistic behaviors. The second study aimed to analyze the beliefs of Tinder application users about the behavioral intention to use it, based on the Planned Action Theory (TAP). For this, a qualitative research was carried out, obtaining 62 responses from users through an online form, with non-probabilistic sampling. Data were organized with the help of Iramuteq, and submitted to lexical analyzes of similarity and Confirmatory Factor Analysis. The main findings identified that behavioral beliefs were linked to attitudes such as meeting new people without leaving the house, exchange of affection, sex and approval. Normative beliefs, on the other hand, brought friends and colleagues as facilitators of use, family and colleagues and work as people who would disapprove. Control beliefs reveal that the application is practical, allows filters according to personal interest, facilitates the formation of friendships and maintains contact with other people outside of your social environment.

A presente pesquisa investiga a ausência do acontecimento e sua relação com a defesa contra o real sem lei. Partimos de uma problemática evidenciada na clínica, que reverbera na esfera política, acerca de determinadas situações que, embora demonstrem potência transformadora de uma dada realidade, ou seja, demonstrem a possibilidade de inscrever um acontecimento, acabam resultando em seu efeito oposto. Trata-se de uma pesquisa teórica em psicanálise, que estabelece um diálogo com o campo da filosofia e da política. Considerando que quando não há acontecimento, não há possibilidade de emergência do real, pois este acontece enquanto efeito de um acontecimento, propomos investigar possíveis mecanismos que impeçam a emergência do real. Abordamos a passagem da paixão pelo real vivida no século XX àmorte dessa paixão, que se desenha no modo niilista como se passou a encarar a vida. Tal configuração é expressa na forma como se configura a razão neoliberal, marcada pelo imperativo do Um identitário e por dispositivos de defesa contra tudo que é da ordem do indeterminado, e, portanto, do real. Dessa forma, de Pascal a Lacan, discutimos a posição de resistência que o homem assume diante da indeterminação que o constitui, criando estratégias diversas que impedem a inscrição de um acontecimento. A fim de compreender o conceito de acontecimento, realizamos uma investigação a partir da teoria de Alain Badiou, abordando o caráter de indeterminação próprio ao acontecimento e a produção de processos de verdade, sujeito e novidade que dele resultam. Identificamos que a ausência do acontecimento não se limita à racionalidade neoliberal, tampouco aos efeitos que a paixão pelo real causou. Discutimos isso através da análise de conjuntura que faz Marx do império de Luís Bonaparte e a restauração da monarquia em plena insurgência proletária francesa. A análise de Marx permitiu pensar que os elementos favoráveis à restauração da monarquia, fracasso da revolução proletária, e, portanto, da ausência de acontecimento, não se resumem à uma imposição de poder. Nesse ponto, recorremos à Freud, a fim de considerar que processos libidinais inconscientes coletivos e individuais favorecem a adesão a regimes totalitários e, com isso, impedem a produção do acontecimento e do real que dele pode emergir.

Trata-se de uma pesquisa qualitativa, descritiva e exploratória, que utilizou como método o Estudo de Caso. Teve como objetivo geral compreender e analisar a adoção sob a ótica de pais adotivos, e como objetivos específicos: compreender as motivações e expectativas dos pais no processo de adoção; identificar e analisar as relações de constituição da nova família, bem como com a família extensa; conhecer a relação dos pais adotivos com a história de vida do(a) filho(a). Contou com a participação de quatro famílias adotivas, na aplicação dos seguintes instrumentos: Formulário de Caracterização de Perfil Socioeconômico; Entrevista Semiestruturada e Procedimento de Desenho de Famílias com Estórias.

This research is a theoretical study about the articulation between psychoanalysis and other traditions of thought that constitute the Radical and Plural Democratic Theory developed by Ernesto Laclau and Chantal Mouffe. More specifically, it refers to a study on Laclau's theorizations guided by the following research question: how do the articulations between psychoanalysis and the other currents of thought that make up the TDRP contribute to Laclau's analyzes of the social and the political? This research question, which sets up the general objective, unfolds in the following specific objectives: a) to understand the main concepts of TDRP, considering the different theoretical influences of the author; b) to apprehend the way in which psychoanalysis is used by Laclau in an articulated way with the other currents of thought that constitute TDRP, for this purpose, considering the dialogues that the author establishes with his interlocutors. In order to achieve the proposed objectives, we took as analysis material an excerpt from Laclau's work, consisting of the following books: Hegemony and socialist strategy - for a radical democratic policy (1985/2015), published in collaboration with Mouffe; New reflections on the revolution of our time (1990/2000); and The populist reason (2005/2013). Through these objectives and analysis material, we performed an analysis of the discourse according to what Orlandi (2009) proposes, in an articulated way to the analytical and interpretive reading procedures proposed by Bastos (2009). From this methodological framework, we take concepts from Laclau's theory as operators of analysis, namely, the concepts of articulation and antagonism, which allowed us to understand the way in which the theoretical pluralism to which Laclau refers is articulated by him in order to constitute a formation. discursive, TDRP, antagonistic to essentialist and deterministic understandings of subject and society. The analysis developed also led us, in the course of the dissertation, to defend three theses concerning the logic of functioning of the TDRP, as well as, concerning the contributions of psychoanalysis when articulated to the Laclaunian theory: a) in chapter two, the thesis that the social is a precarious objectivity, constituted in a contingent and discursive way; b) in chapter three, the thesis of the primacy of the political over the social, considering antagonism as the defining criterion of the political and the ontological condition of possibility of the social. This thesis, however, is resumed in chapter four in order to show a twist made by Laclau in his understanding of the antagonism when articulating the concept of displacement (the Lacanian Real) his theory; c) in chapter four, the thesis that as psychoanalysis gains space in Laclau's theoretical argumentation, he reaffirms certain argumentative logics of TDRP or provokes theoretical reorganizations, which results in a continuous approximation of Laclau, in ontological terms, to psychoanalysis. Approximation that makes it possible to elucidate concepts such as displacement, void signifier, affection, which allow to deepen the analysis of the social and the political in terms of the constitutive processes that concern them. Along these tracks, we highlight at least three contributions of this research to the field of theoretical and methodological discussions in political psychology and related sciences: a) in methodological terms, we demonstrate how Laclau and Mouffe's TDRP serves not only to analyze the discursive-conflictive construction of reality, but the analysis of the argumentative construction of theoretical corpus; b) in response to research that highlights the theoretical pluralism that constitutes TDRP and does not specifically explain how such pluralism is integrated, we define more precisely how Laclau proposes the articulations between the theories that make up the TDRP; c) regarding the articulation between TDRP and psychoanalysis, the discussion we have developed opens the way for questions that can be fruitful to guide new research.

The school constitutes as a field of extreme importance in the translation of diverse ways
of social organization, which allows the claim that it marks the life history of those who
attend it. However, considering the processes of construction of the ethnic-racial
relations, it is necessary to understand how the school has marked the lives of black
students. In view of the above, on this paper we discuss the comprehensions of being
black produced by students out of their school experiences. In order to understand such
questions, we take the institutional racism as the central element of analysis, the one
which anchors itself on the discourse of racial equality in education, being a reflex of a
historical collection of institutional relations established in the domains of racist
domination. We anchor in feminist and antiracist epistemologies from pre-colognial and
decolinial authors, commited with an implied practice, which stablishes on the "dialogy"
between those who write and the investigation subjects. Our methodological pathway has
been built with the aid of participant observation techniques, field diaries and individual
interviews; as to analyze and understand how the students notice the historical and

political construction of the ethnic-racial relations in Brazil; how themes related to ethnic-
racial matters are tackled; how the school culture interacts with youngster cultures

regarding the dimension of ethnic-racial relations; what the understanding of students
regarding the fight for racial equality in the education field is; and what the movements
of resistance in fighting racism at school are. Thus, in the face of the analysis in an
intersecional perspective of the materials steeming from the field diaries and the audios
transcripted from the individual interviews, it has been possible to understand that the
black students' school experiences are traversed by histories of daily racism that gains
legitimacy in the school and outside of it. It has also been possible to understand that even
with the existing policies that promulgate education to ethnic-racial relations, the school
has yet perpetrated through institutional racism, the position of not adressing the contents
of african history effectively, as well as it has rended the manifestation of black culture
invisible inside school spaces. This way, without the presumption of exhausting the
comprehensions, but also bringing my view as a black researcher at schools, we stablish
a commitment with the antiracist fight in the breadth of the speeches and experiences
which have been brought over. If the school, through diverse real and symbolic
mechanisms perpetrates the maintenance of racial inequalities, it turns itself into an
important place where these issues can be overcome. Thus, the perspective of black
students on their schooling process is necessary to the diffusion of existing affirmative
policies and the promotion of public policies in education that aim on reducing racial
gaps.

Este trabalho teve como finalidade analisar as crenças relacionadas ao preconceito e a
discriminação racial nas redes sociais online (RSO) no contexto brasileiro, utilizando-se do
método da Análise de Redes Sociais (ARS) aplicado ao espaço virtual online do Facebook.
O preconceito e a discriminação racial foram investigados a partir do mapeamento e
discursos produzidos na página @sitemundonegro do Facebook. Três estudos foram
realizados para efetivar os objetivos propostos. O primeiro estudo fundamentou esta
pesquisa ao apresentar uma revisão sistemática da literatura com o objetivo de compreender
em que medida a ARS pode auxiliar os trabalhos produzidos pela Psicologia brasileira e o
estudo das crenças. Neste estudo foram analisadas cinco bases de dados, utilizando o termo
“análise de redes sociais”. Em seguida, realizou-se um recorte dos resumos para construção
do corpus, submetido à análise quantitativa de dados textuais com auxílio do software
Iramuteq. A partir da classificação hierárquica descendente (CHD), emergiram três classes:
classe 1, produção e conhecimento; classe 2, ferramenta de investigação; e classe 3, objeto
de aplicação. As principais conclusões demonstram que a ARS é uma metodologia pouco
utilizada no Brasil e nas produções da Psicologia, apresentando-se como uma área de
investigação de caráter promissor e potencial. O estudo das crenças, atitudes e
comportamento é prevalente, somente, nas produções que estudam redes sociais na internet,
o que demonstra a dimensão desse vasto campo inexplorado. No segundo estudo, a
finalidade foi produzir, a partir da aplicação da ARS na página @sitemundonegro no
Facebook, um mapeamento das informações sobre o preconceito e discriminação racial que
circulam nos espaços virtuais online, apresentando uma introdução à metodologia de
pesquisa digital à luz da Psicologia Social. Para isso, foram aplicados softwares de extração

(Netvizz) e visualização (Gephi) de dados em RSO, a partir da ARS e das métricas in-
degree, out-degree, closeness e betweness. As principais conclusões demonstraram que as

RSO compõem o centro das atividades online, elevando o potencial de ligações humanas
ao mesmo tempo em que favorecem o domínio de grandes empresas tecnológicas e seus
interesses econômicos, facilitando a manipulação do tecido social através de ferramentas
algorítmicas. Com o mapeamento da rede foi possível evidenciar o aumento do diálogo a
respeito da temática do preconceito e da discriminação racial. A interação entre páginas foi
capaz de formar um campo privilegiado de visibilidade e ressignificação do negro no Brasil,

fortalecendo a identidade negra e produzindo novas subjetividades através das relações com

outros indivíduos negros. O último estudo elaborou um levantamento dos discursos
produzidos a partir da ARS aplicada aos espaços virtuais online da página
@sitemundonegro no Facebook. Os dados foram coletados por meio do software Netvizz e
transformados em corpus textual para serem submetidos à análise pelo software Iramuteq.
A partir da Classificação Hierárquica Descendente (CHD) emergiram 2 classes: a classe 1,
atitudes e comportamentos de enfretamento do preconceito racial e a classe 2, visibilidade
e ressignificação do negro. As principais conclusões indicaram que a presença de crenças
racistas no Facebook, porém, com uma prática sutil, velada, cordial e à brasileira. O
fenômeno do netativismo demonstrou a crescente participação e envolvimento dos usuários
em mobilizações sociais no espaço online enquanto tentativa de busca por justiça social e
enfrentamento do preconceito e discriminação racial na interface digital. Houve também, o
fortalecimento e valorização da identidade social dos negros. Os resultados desta
dissertação são inéditos na literatura brasileira e podem contribuir para o estudo das crenças
relacionadas ao preconceito e a discriminação racial no ciberespaço, e também, com
métodos de pesquisa digital em RSO.

O preconceito tem sido objeto de estudos com importante produção acadêmica. Sua conceptualização demarca ser reação de aversão e/ou hostilidade contra determinado indivíduo ou grupo que apresente características diversas daquelas aceitas socialmente. Dessa forma, existem diferentes formas de entender o preconceito, seja pelo viés individual ou cultural, sejam por seus aspectos raciais, de gênero, sociais, entre outros. O presente estudo objetiva delinear o conceito de preconceito nas produções acadêmicas brasileiras. Especificamente, busca conhecer os pesquisadores, os anos de publicação dos estudos, realizar um mapeamento geográfico e institucional, bem como identificar e analisar os aspectos teóricos e metodológicos das produções publicadas. Para tanto, realiza a metassíntese da configuração do termo preconceito nas áreas da Psicologia e do Direito no Catálogo de teses e dissertações disponível pelo site da Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Ensino Superior (CAPES). Desenvolvem-se quatro fases: Exploração, Refinamento, Descrição e Interpretação. Com o descritor preconceito na exploração obteve-se 3.925 publicações, as quais contém a palavra “preconceito” no título, resumo ou palavras-chave do trabalho. Na fase de refinamento, aplicou-se o filtro “áreas de interesse: Direito e Psicologia”, o recorte temporal do ano de 2014 a 2018 e disponibilidade de acesso “documento completo”, na Plataforma Sucupira. Resultaram 220, sendo 43 publicações do Direito (37 dissertações e seis teses) e 177 da Psicologia (45 teses e 132 dissertações). Após mantiveram-se os trabalhos que, de fato tratavam sobre o preconceito e não apenas utilizava o termo no corpo do texto, quais sejam: 61 trabalhos na área da Psicologia (39 dissertações e 22 teses) e 18 publicações no Direito (14 dissertações e quatro teses). No campo da Psicologia, todas as regiões são contempladas com alguma publicação; entre os Estados, se destaca a Paraíba, com 14 trabalhos, seguido do Ceará, com 10 pesquisas e São Paulo e Sergipe com 7 publicações cada. Em relação às universidades, a UFPB se destaca com 14 trabalhos (22,95% das publicações). Na área do Direito, apesar de todas as regiões do país possuírem programas de pós-graduação, não foram encontrados trabalhos que versem sobre a temática na região Norte. Os Estados que mais produziram foram São Paulo - com oito publicações -, seguido do Ceará - com três - e os demais Estados com apenas um trabalho cada. Em relação às publicações nas instituições, a PUC/SP se destaca com três trabalhos (16,65% das pesquisas). São descritas e interpretadas por meio de núcleos temáticos que apresentem a tipologia de preconceito estudado na Pós-Graduação. No campo do Direito, analisam-se: ‘racismo’, ‘migração, povos e xenofobia’, ‘preconceito, gênero e orientação sexual’, ‘preconceito estético e corporal’, ‘estigma e drogadição’ e ‘enfrentamento ao preconceito: legislação e educação’. Em relação à Psicologia, a análise permite discutir o ‘racismo’, ‘preconceito estético e corporal’, ‘população, migração e xenofobia’, ‘discriminação sexual e de gênero’, ‘preconceito e doença mental’ e ‘o papel da instituição escolar no combate ao preconceito’. Os núcleos analisados indicam importante intersecção entre as áreas de conhecimento. A historicidade e a estrutura de ideias preconceituosas reafirmam e fossilizam, com força de permanência de valores, as ações, emoções e pensar. No entanto, indícios de rupturas podem ser percebidos nos dois campos, especialmente em relação ao racismo e ao preconceito sexual e de gênero, sendo enfatizadas em 25 (31,65%) e 24 (30,75%) dos trabalhos estudados, respectivamente. Espera-se contribuir nos debates referentes à produção, histórica e social, sobre o preconceito no âmbito científico, especialmente nas áreas da Psicologia e do Direito, bem como estabelecer uma rede de pesquisadores brasileiros. A aplicabilidade deste estudo direciona-se ao campo científico e à sociedade, a fim de disseminar informações que visem uma mudança de paradigmas, com a finalidade de superar e transformar o convívio entre as minorias marginalizadas, por não seguirem os padrões sociais impostos, bem como influenciar na contextualização das políticas públicas e sua maior efetividade, em ações junto às Secretarias de Governo, no âmbito Jurídico e da Educação.
