ESTUDO DISCURSIVO SOBRE A (IN)EXCLUSÃO DE MULHERES COM DEPENDÊNCIA QUÍMICA

Abstract

There is a history of stigmatization against chemical dependents women, including discrimination and social exclusion (ALVES, ROSA, 2016). This exclusion integrates discursive processes that constitute relations of power, producing truth effects on the chemical dependent woman. Therefore, our hypothesis suggests that there are articulated marks of the (in)exclusion by means of construction as abnormal before the self and the other on the discourses of the chemical dependent women. This research aims to understand the constitution of the discourses of (in)exclusion, hospitality (hostility) and (ab)normality of chemical dependent women. As specific objectives, we seek to interpret questions related to discourses, discursive formations and sense effects derived from the discourses of chemical dependent women. Furthermore, we seek to understand these discourses in the field of knowledge and power relations, as well as to problematize the relationship between hospitality, hostility and abnormality in the ways in which the chemical dependent woman sees herself and how she believes she’s seen. To this end, we are based in the discursive-deconstructivist perspective (CORACINI, 2007) with contributions by the philosophers Foucault (1979, 2010), on abnormality and exclusion, and Derrida (2003) on hospitality and hostility. From this analytical perspective, we point out the theoretical-methodological perspective of archeology and genealogy based on Foucault (1988, 2005). In order to carry out the research, we adopted as procedure the following steps: visits to Centro de Atenção Psicossocial álcool e drogas (CAPS ad), Três Lagoas (MS), collection of the corpus through the contact with the institution and the participating women, selection of enunciative excerpt and analysis and interpretation of these excerpts. The analysis of the corpus was developed through the selection of enunciative excerpts extracted from the seven texts written by the attending women at the institution and from the transcripts of one conversation that happened in the first semester of 2018. From the constitution of the corpus, we questioned: how are the meanings of exclusion and inclusion built in the words of chemical dependent women on recovering? In what ways do hospitality and hostility intersect in these discourses? How is the process of normalization chemical dependent women? The exclusion of women who are chemical dependents involves the will of truth developed by a “guide” (such as the “family”, “friends”, “company” and “God”) that builds a truth effect on them from inclusion. In other words, the will to truth is a system of exclusion that includes by self-care, constructing effects of power that form traits of self through the eyes of the other. By pharmakon, materialized by family and drugs as remedy and a poison, the women who are chemical dependents become hostage guests and hostile hosts at the same time. Finally, we note that its normalization process cross the silence as a prohibition in discourse and correctability by correcting and disciplining the body by the norm. This dissertation is divided into three chapters: “Production conditions: gender, representation and archeogenealogy”, in which we discuss the production conditions of the discourses of women who are chemical dependents and the theoretical-methodological perspective of the research; “A theoretical course to understand (in)exclusion”, on the basic notions of Discourse Analysis; and “Women, Boundaries and Chemical Dependency”, organized into three analytical axes on (in)exclusion, hospitality, hostility and (a)normality. Keywords: Discourse analysis; (In)exclusion; chemical dependent woman.
