Fitness culture, especially weight training, is configured as a privileged setting to investigate these dynamics, involving gender issues and the growing influence of social media in the construction of bodily and emotional subjectivities. Anchored in the perspective of the anthropology of emotions and employing cartography as a method, this study aims to understand the emotional experiences of people who practice weight training in the contemporary context, influenced by gender issues and social media. The research was conducted with eight young cisgender adults residing in Campo Grande and Dourados (Mato Grosso do Sul), who regularly practice weight training and consume fitness culture content on social media. Semi-structured interviews were conducted predominantly online. The results revealed that weight training, as a central practice in participants’ routines, is permeated by marked affective contradictions. Many accounts simultaneously express feelings of pride, joy, and belonging, alongside intense internal demands, bodily dissatisfaction, and frustration with performance. This duality affects the relationship with the body and training, configuring weight training as a field of tensions between pleasure and suffering. Social media, equally ambiguous, function both as sources of inspiration and motivation, and as spaces of comparison, surveillance, and insecurity, amplifying emotional challenges related to bodily care and exposure. These tensions are also shaped by gender, which molds the experiences significantly, with women facing intensified surveillance through rigid aesthetic norms and male gazes, while men manifest a complex relationship involving performance, competition, and vulnerability. These nuances reinforce the complexity of affective and gendered processes present in contemporary bodily practices, highlighting the importance of understanding the multiple dimensions that constitute bodily care and exposure, especially through the lens of dispositives of gender.

We developed this study to analyze the rates of absence due to mental illness, investigate the diagnostic categories of the mental disorders presented, and identify the reasons—from the perspective of the employees—that led to mental illness. The period studied is from 2018 to 2023. The theoretical framework is based on the Critical Theory of Society, particularly the studies of Adorno, T. Horkheimer, M. Marcuse, H. and Crochík, J.L.. Possible reasons to be investigated as triggers were: work-related factors, traumatic experiences, financial problems, family conflicts, and a previous history of mental disorders, among others. The chosen methodology was exploratory and descriptive field research, using spreadsheets and statistical analysis of data provided by the Human Resources Department of the Mato Grosso do Sul State Court of Justice, in addition to an online form completed by employees. The results show a 69% increase in the number of sick leaves for mental health treatment from 2018 to 2023 (from 189 to 320). The number of employees on leave increased from 102 in 2018 to 157 in 2023, a 39% increase. In all years, the most prevalent disorders were anxiety disorders, followed by recurrent depressive disorders, acute stress reactions, depressive episodes, and, lastly, bipolar affective disorder. Regarding the reasons, 42 people (52.5% of respondents) attributed their mental illness to work-related factors; in addition to these, another 5 (6.3%) stated that their health condition worsened due to two main causes, one of which was work; 16 people (20%) associated the mental illness with traumatic experiences; 8 people (10% of respondents) stated that they already had the diagnosis previously; 5 respondents (6.3%) correlated financial problems, excessive responsibilities, family conflicts, social isolation, and stress due to reasons unrelated to work. 4 subjects (5%) attributed it to other factors, of which 2 mentioned a late diagnosis of autism spectrum disorder - ASD.

However, the rise in diagnoses has not been accompanied by validated protocols for the Brazilian population. This dissertation aimed to investigate the criteria used in the referrals of children suspected of having ASD for assessment and treatment, analyzing clinical documents through the lens of Historical-Cultural Psychology. The research is grounded in the understanding that human development is a dynamic and socially mediated process, and that referrals are not neutral, but rather practices shaped by values, discourses, and cultural expectations. The methodology was qualitative in nature, characterized as a case study conducted in a specific context, with a focus on the document analysis of referrals for assessment and treatment issued by a clinic specialized in Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA). The analysis revealed a prevalence of standardized prescriptions, lack of individualized clinical justifications, predominance of medical prescriptions without interdisciplinary dialogue, and the invisibility of children's singularities. The results point to the need for a critical review of referral practices and greater coordination among healthcare professionals, especially regarding the construction of the therapeutic plan. This dissertation contributes to the debate on the medicalization of childhood, professional training, and the ethical and technical challenges of psychological assessment in the field of ASD.

Therefore, it must be acknowledged in its importance, and the production of specialized psychoanalytic knowledge needs to keep pace with the speed of these changes. In this sense, the present qualitative research aims to identify, through focus groups, whether the Socialization and Bond-Strengthening Service (SCFV) for older adults in the municipality of Campo Grande – MS can act as a protective factor or as a supporting element in coping with depression among its participants, even though this is not the service’s primary purpose. This study, in turn, follows content analysis based on Paul Ricoeur’s hermeneutics and psychoanalysis. Twentythree older women with a score of five or higher on the Geriatric Depression Scale participated in the focus groups. It was concluded that the SCFV for older adults presents elements that contribute to mental health and acts both as a protective factor and as a means of coping with depression among its participants.
