A RACIONALIDADE NEOLIBERAL: IMPLICAÇÕES PARA O SOFRIMENTO PSÍQUICO DAS MULHERES NEGRAS PERIFÉRICAS, NO MUNICÍPIO DE CORUMBÁ-MS

Abstract

This research aims to understand the implications that neoliberalism, from Michel Foucault's perspective, a rationality, has for the psychological suffering and subjectivity of black women living on the outskirts of the municipality of Corumbá. The neoliberal model was implemented in the 1970s and 1980s and, in contemporary times, it has particularities that strengthen social inequalities, especially for a public that lives with ethnic-racial, gender, class and territorial location decriminalizations, as is the case of the object of study of this research. Therefore, in order to understand the implications between political and economic logic, as well as the situation of black women in the municipal peripheries, in a specific way, it was necessary to analyze the theoretical bases of this rationality and how they are presented in social protection policies and in the constitution of subjectivity. Given the complexity and specificity of the condition of black women on the periphery, we believe that the intersectional theoretical approach is interesting for addressing the possible impacts that this rationality can have on the daily lives of these women. To this end, we carried out a theoretical essay, which revealed a dearth of information about black women on the outskirts of the municipality of Corumbá-MS. We concluded that the lack of data shows a neglected reality, in which individual responsibility and the lack of characterization in protection policies are the main factors.
