Resistência de mulheres à violência clínica: análise de práticas discursivas na #ondedói

Abstract

Within the struggles to end the abuses to women's, the growing denunciations movement of cases of medical violence has stood out on social media and, more broadly, in the digital space. Based on the emergence of these statements and focusing on the doctor-patient interaction, the questions that underlie the proposition of this study are: how and why women's discourses about abuses – of different kinds – committed by healthcare professionals are possible in the present? Taking them as a starting point, my overall objective is to problematize relations of resistance from women who are in the position of patient regarding the health power, through #Ondedói, in its circulation on Twitter in 2019. The choice is justified by the singularity in which the hashtag emerges in history, in its status as an event (Foucault, 2019). In the tweets, beyond a functioning essentially characterized by the confrontation against this type of violation, I see lines of force that act on how power relations and resistance become material and entangle the discourses of subjects and health power. Therefore, my specific objectives within the main purpose are: a) to describe the mediatized event of the #Ondedói campaign and the intertwining of discourses and social networks; b) to historicize the powers, knowledge, and resistances of women in their relation to medicalization; and c) to analyze regular tweets exercised from the position of the patient in #Ondedói. In this way, I mobilize the perspective of Foucauldian Discursive Studies, allied with the Foucauldian archeogenealogical method (Araújo, 2004; Neves; Gregolin, 2021). The construction of the corpus is based on the discursive regularities (Foucault, 2019), by grouping them into enunciative series (Foucault, 2019): a) the discredit; b) the devaluation; c) the threat; d) the denial. The thesis that guides this study is that, in the boundaries between the physical and the digital network, the power relations that sustain violent healthcare practices are made possible by the interdiction of the patients' discourses. As a result, I delineate a diagnosis of the present (Foucault, 2014a) regarding the functioning of statements that talk about treatments for women carried out by healthcare professionals.
