Description
Summary:In this article challenge me revisit field journal, written over four years of ethnographic research with homeless in Pelotas, RS, using, in this return to the ethnographic experience, the victim category in its dimension socially constructed. Such analytical recovery enables reflect on how those persons is appropriated from the notion of victim as a flexible, situational and relational category, using it (in combination with other categories) as performative, narrative, body and biographical resource towards establishment of relationships with different actors of public space and even with state agents and groups of the Third Sector. Thus, I argue that the discourse of suffering in the context of homeless, acts as a propellant "identity miserable" and, as a result, as an aggravating processes of subjectivation and subjection in multiple dimensions.
