Título: “Quem traz no corpo a marca, Maria, Maria”: os impactos da fome nas trajetórias das mulheres em situação de rua Autor(es): Dias, Thamara Barbosa Teixeira Abstract: Brazilian social development, based on racism and violence, reproduces dependent capitalism, causing even greater inequalities. These are increasingly accentuated due to the concentration of income and land in the hands of a few. In this scenario, hunger and homelessness have become a reality for many Brazilians. Women are subjected to even greater violations that intersect social markers. The city of Fortaleza, immersed in its contradictions, while representing the most developed capital in the Northeast, ranks fifth among cities with the most homeless people in Brazil. The intersection of such vulnerabilities, extreme poverty, homelessness, hunger, and the socially imposed place of women, has direct consequences on the lives of a portion of society. The question then arises: how does hunger impact the life trajectories of homeless women in the city of Fortaleza? Thus, the overall objective of this research is to understand how hunger impacts the life trajectories of homeless women in the city of Fortaleza, Ceará. Thus, the overall objective of the research is to understand how hunger impacts the life trajectories of homeless women in the city of Fortaleza, Ceará. The specific objectives are to map the trajectories of homeless women; analyze the meanings of hunger for homeless women; and identify ways in which women on the streets resist hunger. To meet these objectives, the qualitative research was conducted at Casa da Sopa, a partner institution of the Community Psychology Center (NUCOM), which plays a fundamental role in assisting the homeless population. Women over the age of 18 who were homeless or recovering from homelessness, who had lived on the streets for at least six months, and who participated in some activity at Casa da Sopa participated in the research. The methodological tools were participant observation and semi-structured interviews. Participant observations took place in the women's group, Madalenas, developed by Casa da Sopa in partnership with NUCOM, and during the distribution of meals at lunchtime. For analysis, the data were submitted, with the help of Atlas Ti software, to Thematic Content Analysis. The categories analyzed were life trajectories and arrival on the streets; being a woman on the streets; hunger Abstract and food; and multidimensional poverty. In this way, it was possible to understand, based on the women's life stories, that poverty and difficulties in acquiring food were always present in their trajectories, influencing dimensions such as health, education, work and income, the subjective dimension, and human rights. In this way, hunger creates absences and silences, but finds ways of coping and solidarity in the community. Tipo: Dissertação

Título: Vivências de pessoas com hipertensão pulmonar no Brasil: afetos, desafios e potencialidades Autor(es): Oliveira, Rosana Moura de Abstract: The objective of this study was to understand the lived experiences of people with Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension (PAH), identifying the suffering resulting from social injustices and analyzing, from a psychosocial and socio-historical perspective, the factors of potentiation and depotentiation involved in their processes of social exclusion and inclusion, as well as proposing guiding axes for public health policies. In the Brazilian context, rare diseases affect approximately 65 per 100,000 people, including chronic and disabling conditions associated with non-apparent bodily disabilities. These conditions impact mobility, work capacity, and quality of life, contributing to processes of social invisibility and inequality. The research is grounded in Brazilian and Latin American Social Psychology from a psychosocial and socio-historical perspective, drawing on concepts such as lived experience (perejivanie), affects, ethical-political suffering, social exclusion/inclusion, and power to act as expressed in the narratives. This is a documentary, descriptive, and qualitative study, conducted through thematic content analysis of 53 public patient testimonies available on the website of a national association, complemented by a reflexive autoethnographic resource. The units of analysis were sentences and paragraphs with complete meaning, considering the full testimony as the unit of context. The results revealed experiences marked by early restrictions, loss of autonomy, difficulties in accessing health care, work, and social protection, as well as physical, emotional, social, and systemic suffering, often aggravated by failures in public policies. At the same time, potentiating affects such as hope, gratitude, and family support emerged, sustaining strategies for the continuity of life. The analyses were organized into the categories Experiences, Affects, Challenges, and Potentials, inductively constructed from the empirical material and theoretical framework, enabling a socially situated understanding of the meanings produced around living with PAH and supporting the proposal of public policies aimed at accessibility, care, and social inclusion.

Título: Masculinidade hegemônica, maus-tratos na infância e adoecimento mental na vida adulta Autor(es): Nascimento Júnior, Francisco Edimar do Abstract: In Western culture, masculinity is often associated with the virile, strong, courageous, and aggressive man, leading to the idea that violence is an essential element for the development and maintenance of masculinity. This results in the naturalization of violence, which manifests itself in relationships between men, against women, and against children. Given this, this research aims to analyze the relationship between hegemonic masculinity and the experience of childhood maltreatment and mental illness in adulthood. Specifically, it seeks to (1) map the occurrence of childhood maltreatment in the sample studied, (2) assess the level of agreement with the conception of hegemonic masculinity among respondents, and (3) assess the levels of anxiety, depression, and stress in the sample. To achieve these objectives, a non-probabilistic (convenience) sample of 720 people was used, aged between 18 and 67 years (M=28.68; SD=10.73), predominantly women (58.3%), white (52.5%), heterosexual (57.9%), and single (51.7%). Participants answered an online questionnaire, disseminated through social networks, containing the following self-report instruments: Conceptions of Masculinity Scale (ECM), Depression, Anxiety and Stress Scale (DASS-21), Childhood Trauma Questionnaire – Brief Version, and a sociodemographic questionnaire. The research was conducted subject to approval by the Ethics Committee of the Federal University of Ceará – UFC (CAAE: 88642725.3.0000.5045), complying with the necessary ethical criteria. The data were analysed using the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS; version 20). Descriptive statistics, t-tests for independent samples, one-way ANOVA, two-way ANOVA, ANCOVA, and Pearson correlations were performed. Hegemonic masculinity did not correlate with child maltreatment, nor with levels of anxiety, depression, and stress. A high incidence of child maltreatment was observed, as well as indications that polyvictimization is associated with higher levels of anxiety, depression, and stress. Regarding the endorsement of hegemonic masculinity, gender, sexual orientation, and religion were found to be related to this variable, while education and income showed no association. Regarding mental illness, women presented higher levels of anxiety and stress compared to men, with no significant differences in relation to depression. Although this study has limitations, it is considered that its objectives were achieved and that the results obtained can contribute significantly to the understanding of the relationship between hegemonic masculinity, child maltreatment, and psychological distress.

Título: A experiência da conversação psicanalítica com adolescentes em uma escola de ensino médio: reflexões sobre o método Autor(es): Mendes, Erilania Ferreira Abstract: The overall objective of this study is to understand how psychoanalytic conversations help to construct a narrative of psychological distress among adolescents at a public school located in Grande Bom Jardim, Fortaleza. The proposal is justified by the understanding that psychiatric diagnosis is increasingly present within schools considering this topic, ways of referring to discontents are incorporated into a universal grammar, in which the subject sometimes finds themselves hostage to their symptoms. Thus, the specific objectives are: Present conversations as a form of intervention research based on psychoanalysis; understand how adolescents appropriate the conversation device in constructing a narrative about themselves and map the challenges of the method based on the experience carried out. The methodological approach consisted of two stages, being the first, conversations with high school students at a school in Grande Bom Jardim, Fortaleza. Based on empirical experience, the second step was a theoretical discussion of how the method facilitates the construction of narratives about oneself. Following the completion of this step, on the first chapter it is discussed the concept of adolescence from a socio-historical and psychoanalytical perspective and its resonance in the school context. The second chapter, describes how adolescents appropriate the conversation method by constructing a table of signifier movements, as well as addressing two main potentialities of these tools, the possibility of creating a narrative on their own behalf and the function of this space for listening and addressing situations of violence that these adolescents experience. Thus, it is highlighted a discussion about the concept of discursive helplessness and social bonds, linking it to the narrativization of psychological suffering. In addition, the use of humor and jokes to explore how these elements appeared in the conversations. Thus, the objective is to achieve the use of conversation as a collectivized free association, mediated by transference, establishing a space for listening and speaking at school, enabling the construction of a unique knowledge that transcends hegemonic nosography, or at least shakes up what has become crystallized.
