NeuroVidas: uma visão ecossistêmica sobre o sujeito

Abstract

This dissertation aims to present an ecosystemic view of the subject from autobiographical narratives of subjects with neurological dysfunction in cyberspace. The theoretical construction of this ecosystem view starts from the transdisciplinary studies on Communication Ecosystems within the Postgraduate Program in Communication Sciences of the Federal University of Amazonas, from the contributions of systems theories, especially the systemic view of Fritjof Capra and Luigi Luisi, The philosophical hermeneutics of Hans-Georg Gadamer and the studies on subjects with neurological dysfunction. The methodological course consisted first of an exploratory research, of unsystematic observation in the cyberspace, seeking to identify the autobiographical narratives of the subjects with neurological dysfunction; The selected material was studied and the data obtained were interpreted in the light of philosophical hermeneutics and based on a bibliographical research. The application of the vision of the communicational ecosystems directed to the subjects with neurological dysfunction was denominated of "NeuroVidas". It has been found that subjects with neurological dysfunction narrate their lives in cyberspace, communicate with other subjects, build relationships online, create group identities; They can transcend cyberspace, creating physical relationships and acting in society as empowered subjects. The subjects articulate themselves in favor of the dissemination of more truthful information on the dysfunctions / diseases, in order to promote the society's awareness about their health and life conditions. In addition, they claim their rights, encourage the empowerment of other individuals with neurological dysfunction, and begin to see diseases through more positive looks. As a result, it was possible to identify through the autobiographical narratives aspects about the subjects with neurological dysfunction that helped in the construction of an ecosystemic view about the subject. This research acknowledged the existence of a complex dynamic of interaction between the subject, its various subtypes and the contexts in which they are inserted.
