O SUJEITO CONTEMPORÂNEO E O TRABALHO: UM OLHAR DISCURSIVO PARA OS EFEITOS DE MEDICALIZAÇÃO

Abstract

In this study, which cuts and deepens a wider research (LUNKES, 2014), we will situate discursivities about work whose functioning strengthens the effects of evidence (PÊCHEUX, 2009 [1975]) in the relations of senses that the subject establishes with work and with the need for medicament use. The work appears as one way in which the subject reaches appreciation in the capitalist social formation. According to Orlandi (2007, p. 15), this social formation of "heroic culture of the subject" works coercively and makes him responsible for the success or failure of his endeavors. That way, in addition to corroborate to a social frame of medicalization (BARROS, 2004), there are different directions in the production of meanings about depressive symptoms.
