Dominique Béhague's son leads to the south of Brazil
The lecture "Enhebrar y desenhebrar: políticas de la clínica y de la crítica en el sur de Brasil" by researcher Dominique Béhague was held on the afternoon of Tuesday, November 30.
The personal and family stories of two young people, Alex and Beto, living in a favela in Brazil serve as a common thread in the author's exposition, in which an approach is made to the different ways of getting involved with the clinic and critics.
Other aspects addressed were related to the debate on the incidence of the social sphere on the mental and whether belonging to a neighborhood with a lower income affected the probability that a minor would be referred to a psychologist.
After the intervention, there was an entertaining and interesting exchange of ideas between the lecturer and the attendees, among whom were MARC researchers, professors from the Department of Anthropology, Philosophy and Social Work (DAFITS), as well as students from different training programs.
