From reformist movement to war machine health and psychiatric reforms in Brazil

Abstract

This article aims to present the nomadic character of health and psychiatric reforms in Brazil and the constituent dimension of autonomous lines to the State apparatus. In this direction, we will take the movements of these reforms as war machines. To support this construction, the study starts from Deleuze and Guattari's philosophy of difference, especially the treatise on nomadology. The nomadic condition of movements and the position of resistance are linked to agency in pairs and organization in molecular networks. Finally, the text indicates the urgency in the face of an unfavorable scenario in the present to rethink the strategies and tactics used in the past in order to improve and add them to the production of a machine more connected with the nomadic assemblages of the present. This fact has become a condition for the movement and conquests to remain. It is a task that aligns those who are struggling to build a more just and democratic society.
