Histórias compartilhadas: redes de colaboração profissional e processos vinculares entre psicólogas negras

Abstract

The secondary importance of the theme of racial relations and its impacts on subjectivity in the curricula of Psychology courses offered in Brazilian institutions have been pointed out in the literature. For this reason, black psychologists have formed professional collaboration networks as a central strategy for the exercise of their professional activity. Based on this, this research aims to understand the formation of professional collaboration networks. Based on black epistemologies and using Conversation in articulation with Escrevivências as a methodological basis, the research is understood here as an exercise in encountering the other and a horizontal construction. Characterized as qualitative and exploratory research, meetings were held with eight psychologists divided into three groups. The methodological basis will be Conversation in articulation with Escrevivências. The meetings, called Histórias Compartilhadas, will be held (on average) in three stages, with each stage lasting approximately two hours. At the end of the meetings, the research collaborators will be invited to share their impressions of the meetings through writing experiences. To discuss about the meetings, a theoretical-conceptual analysis was carried out using the concepts of unconscious alliances and vínculos rede, derived from psychoanalysis of the group subject, and the notion of aquilombamento. As a result, it was identified that the networks have functioned as a place of support not only professionally, but also emotionally for black psychologists, and are classified as informal, institutional and quilombolas. The quilombolas networks have the distinction of being a defensive alliance against racism, structuring themselves as safe spaces that must be strengthened. On the other hand, relative negative pacts were identified in networks that identified themselves as anti-racist, but that reproduced a neoliberal position. Through the meetings, this research made it possible to uncover meanings that involve the creation of spaces for listening and learning, which can be shared and expanded in future research.
