Abstract

This article proposes reflections about access by individuals to recognition of the right to social security. The qualitative approach allowed an analysis of shifts in the realities of users. Individual and group interviews were conducted with users of the public social security system at the Executive Administration of the National Social Security Institute in Fortaleza, Ceará. The article also problematizes a public space touched by the language of the law, creating possibilities for popular knowledge and power.
