Desinvestimentos e investimentos : desafios psíquicos ao sujeito na experiência migratória

Abstract

This Dissertation has allowed exploring the singular psychic disinvestments and investments process, inherent to the migratory experience of Haitian subjects who have come to Brazil after the earthquake which occurred in Haiti in 2010. Through presentation of Haiti history elements and the Haitian migratory process, it have been illustrated the psychic challenges that have been embraced to the subject in this process of human displacement. The Dissertation is composed by two study sections about the Haitian migration theme, being both of them of a qualitative mark. The first section, which is theoretical-clinical, is entitled as “Singulars displacements in migrate’ psychic experience”; and the second section, which is empiric, is called “Haitian migration: the subject face the (re)union with the excess”. In the theoretical-clinical section, it has been intended to explore the psychic conditions of the migrant subject, as well as to approach the relevant attention directed to him. It has been depicted, in this section, aspects that allow identifying risks due to the vulnerability psychic condition present in this phenomena. The empiric section has provided a reflection about the complex motivations which sustain the migratory movement, as well as has approached the existence and/or the fragility of the confrontation resources by the migrant subject, considering that the conditions in the destination country end up, sometimes, reediting the helplessness that has been already experienced in the home country. All the participants of the study live over a year in Brazil and have participated of two individual and semi-structured interviews. The obtained data have been analyzed by the Interpretative Analysis proposed by Erickson (1997), and have been explored with Psychoanalysis’ theoretical contributions. The empiric section is composed by the formulation of two Assertions which contemplate a reflection about the psychic disinvestments and investments complexity process inherent to the migration process. The first Assertion is entitled as “The singular unrest in the confrontation of intra-psychic and inter-subjective demands”, and the second Assertion, 15 denominated as “The excess summary in different times of (dis)illusion”. It is considered that the listening modality that has been offered during the research has provided attention and care conditions to what tend, sometimes, to be excluded of the knowledge production in the scientific scope about the migration process. In this sense, one of the contributions stemming this research refers to the highlight attributed to the psychic and subjective aspects, so that the interventions in the field of migratory phenomena can increasingly consider the migrant subject in his complexity.
