Pontos de conexão entre ecologias e redução de danos: uma experiência no CAPS AD Cia do Recomeço de Santa Maria - RS

Abstract

An analysis of the experience from the vegetable garden workshop at the CAPS AD Cia do Recomeço (Psychossocial Attention Center for Drug and Alcohol Addiction) at the city of Santa Maria. The purpose of the workshop, developed during the third edition of the Ítaca group, has as guidance the Harm Reduction method and this research pretends to trace connection points between this method/politics with some visions of ecology, like the three ecologies of the philosopher Félix Guattari. Starting from the problematic of the natural ambience, Guattari proposes an ecosophy divided in three ecologies, the social ecology, the mental ecology and the ambiental ecology, in order to recognize a new singularization form that flees from the forms of subjectivity production of the capitalist world. From what mostly would be a purpose of a social ecology, makes up an alignment with the Harm Reduction politics on the mental health area, in order to find common points on de task of creating new relations of the being in group and rethink the stigmas which some groups and individuals are submissed by judicial, state and midiatic spheres. From this Perspective, the vegetable garden workshop at the CAPS AD Cia do Recomeço made a purpose to be a learning space of collective learning, where the exercised practices was thinking on the group as a knowledge sharing. Utilize the format of the workshop as a educational method where it pursuits a non-hierarchy of knowledge and a method to think education as a non- authoritarian and non-disciplinary; that way, the workshop became a space of experimentations, meetings, affection where instead of one dominant knowledge being transmitted, it was about adding knowledge about the care with the earth and the plants, health, food and ambiental issues, to work an ambiental education that is grounded in an ecology that finds its roots on the ambiental problematic in social issues. So it reveals the possibility of transformation from alterations in relations and methods of subjectivity productions, looking for experiences where it has a change of paradigm of the competition and capitalist domination to an more ethic and respectful heterogeneity.
