A Terapia Ocupacional e os contextos de violência: delimitações do campo e representatividade em revistas científicas da área

Abstract

Violence is one of the biggest problems of today's society, involving complex social, cultural

and economic factors. In this context, this research seeks to characterize how the issue of bul- lying, violence and symbolic violence are reported in the literature of occupational therapists

in Brazil. Therefore there was perform a state of the art of productions on the theme of vi- olence (especially symbolic violence and bullying) made by authors of Occupational Therapy

from a literature review of two major journals in the field: CadernosBrasileiros de TerapiaO- cupacional, from Universidade Federal de São Carlos (UFSCar), and Revista de TerapiaOcu- pacional, from Universidade de São Paulo (USP). The research was conducted in the virtual

databases of the two magazines, using the terms "violence" "symbolic violence" and "bully- ing" as search keywords. There were found 31 publications on the theme, developed over 1o

years; from that total, 21 are in the Revista de TerapiaOcupacional, USP, and 10 in the Ca- dernosBrasileiros de TerapiaOcupacional, UFSCar. The data were divided into categories of

analysis, from the narrative analysis, and analyzed in the light of the theoretical framework of the sociologist Pierre Bourdieu guiding this research. It is expected that the data from this research can contribute and dialogue with the publications on the subject of violence, since we found that for occupational therapists the theme is a cross to the profession fields of endeavor, since it is constituted nowadays as something inherent to everyday life and to people's lives.
