FigurarCom Arte para semear práticas em psicologia social e educação diante de catástrofes

Abstract

The capitalist global organization mode has led to survival between catastrophes, such as socioeconomic and ethnic inequalities, pollution and, more recently, the Covid-19 pandemic, which, based on Isabelle Stengers (2015), is understood in this work as a catastrophe arising from the effects of this system. Therefore, the objective of this Master's research was to investigate, in a situated way, modes of invention of subjectivation and forms of resistance, in the face of catastrophes. More specifically, it seeks another way of practicing Psychology, in an educational institute, and to reflect on the unfolding of research in the face of catastrophes, in contemporary times. Based on group practice with Art, in Social Psychology, we worked with students of the Technical High School of the Buildings Course, at the Mato Grosso’s Education Institute, who returned to the institution, after the social distancing measures imposed by the COVID-19 coronavirus pandemic. The theoretical-methodological perspective that guides the work is based on Donna Haraway's (2019) feminist episteme and uses Dolores Galindo's (2020) FigureWith strategy, as well as Psychology and Art to practice FigureWith Art, in civil construction, in order to produce forms of subjectivation, in the ethical-political sense; moreover, it combines with trajectories that resist, such as the Carrier Bag of fiction narrative by Ursula K. Le Guin, and that survive in landscapes of ruins, such as the Matsutake mushroom proposed by Anna Tsing (2021). From the results, it is understood that the strategy of FigureWith Arte, in Social Psychology, can contribute to the development of another way of doing Psychology, within an educational institution, in the face of catastrophes, a practice that does not only occur in the individual level, but it is practiced collectively, between the Humanities and the Natural Sciences, aiming to collaborate with an Education for decolonization.
