Efeitos da pandemia no cotidiano de jovens moradores de territórios periféricos da cidade de Fortaleza-Ceará

Abstract

The objective of this research was to cartography the effects of the pandemic on the daily lives of young people on the outskirts of Fortaleza, problematizing the themes brought up in group meetings and the psychosocial implications of social isolation in their daily lives. Methodologically, we opted for the qualitative approach of research-intervention with the cartographic method, from which the virtual group device was the main investigative and interventional strategy produced in that context of social isolation. The material used for analysis consisted of field diaries of virtual meetings with young people. From a theoretical point of view, we chose to dialogue with the propositions of Deleuze and Guattari on the production of subjectivities and authors of Social Psychology about youth. In this sense, this work ended up articulating youths, peripheries and pandemics from this group devices, considering the intersections of race, class, gender and territory. Drawing attention to the power of experimentation and interventions in the field of mental health with groups of young people, through this research it was possible to follow the changes in circulation, experimentation in the territories and family and social relationships of young people from the peripheral territories of Fortaleza, as well as the production of multiple self-care strategies in the face of the pandemic context.
