The antimony of the health care humanization proposal
Resumo Este ensaio busca contribuir para a (re)formula ção de uma linha teórica de análise da humanização do cuidado em saúde, a partir de uma abordagem marxiana. Para tanto, dialogamos com parte da produção científica brasileira, quando constatamos a predominância de uma tendência que centra a estratégia de humanização sobre uma perspect iva subjetiva-relacional, especialmente explícita na Política Nacional de Humanização da Atenção e Gestão no Sistema Único de Saúde.

The psychosocial diagnosis of gender in public health: propos and application through a case study
Abstract In this article, we present the development of a methodological diagnostic tool for the field of public health from an interdisciplinary perspective that articulates the biological, psychological, and social dimensions of human health from a post-structuralist and feminist perspective and epistemology. In prior research, we have developed a methodology for the study of chronic pain without an organic cause, or fibromyalgia (FM), that we call the psychosocial diagnosis of gender. That work addresses the analysis of the research object itself and, above all, a critical reconceptualization of health in general. We ha...

Subjectivities of rural men with cardiovascular problems: care, threats, and masculinity affirmations
Resumo O artigo discute subjetividades cotidianas que podem fragilizar ou (re)afirmar a masculinidade e, por conseguinte, afastar os homens rurais do cuidado para com a sa úde. Com abordagem qualitativa, a pesquisa foi aplicada em uma comunidade rural de município localizado no sul do Rio Grande do Sul com a participação de doze homens que vivenciaram adoecimento cardiovascular crônico. Os achados ilustram diferentes ações eleitas pelos entrevistados como ameaç adoras à masculinidade e que, portanto, devem ser evitadas ou negadas, redirecionando-se para um movimento de afirmação dos estereótipos de gênero.
