Constituição do sujeito sob o signo da violência Estudo de um caso

Abstract

This work intended to discuss the need to understand aspects of the subject‟s constitution under the sign of the violence phenomenon. The research‟s goal was to investigate, under a psychoanalytical perspective, how violence, be it in the social, relational or environmental sphere, may interfere in the subject‟s constitution. The investigation was carried out in a public social work institution Reference Center in Social Work (Centro de Referencia de Assistencia Social/CRAS) located in a marginalized area of Goiania. This institution has as its target group children and teenagers between 7 and 14 years old in situations of personal risk, social vulnerability and unfavorable social-economical situation. The research subject was a teenager, 14 years old, male, inserted in the Child Labor Eradication Program (Programa de Erradicacao do Trabalho Infantil PETI), who was noticed not only for the conflict situations and aggressiveness demonstrations in which he was involved or got involved, but also for the historical context permeated by countless kinds of violence. The chosen research methodology was case study. Five open interviews were used, aiming at the free association, from the subject, of his historical and fantastic life experiences. The results allowed us to understand that identification and identification with the aggressor were the notable aspects that caused both the subject‟s constitution and his passage from victim to victimizer.
