The Collective is composed of a group of research professors from different Higher Education Institutions in Brazil (UFRGS, UFSM, USP, UFMG, UNIFOR, PUC Minas), the University of Antioquia (Colombia), and the Rennes 2 University (France), whose research and studies refer to the theme of the articulation of psychoanalysis with policies related to youth in vulnerable position and in situation of violence.
2 - RESEARCH NETWORK ON NARRATIVES, GENDER AND POLITICS
This national research network, with international interactions, was articulated with researchers from PUC Minas, UFPE, the Federal University of Uberlândia (UFU), and the State University of Maringá (UEM). Foreign researchers: Jacques Rhèaume (Université du Quebec in Montreal, Canada), Jean Clandinin (University of Alberta, Canada) and Isabel Maria Casimiro (Eduardo Mondlane University, Mozambique). One of the focuses of these national and international interlocutions is the theoretical-methodological improvement of research with narrative methods, in dialogue with the arts, promoting the expansion of the knowledge produced to non-academic sectors.
3. RESEARCH NETWORK ON YOUTH AND VIRTUALITY
National research network with international interactions, with the participation of professors and students from PUC Minas, UFMG, State University of Maringá – UEM, and School of Life Sciences of Sete Lagoas - MG. The network has also established partnerships with professors from the School of Psychology at the Universidad de la República in Uruguay and the School of Psychology at the Universidad de La Sabana in Colombia.
4. Psychology, Work and Psychosocial Processes - PSITRAPP
It is a center of studies, formed by researchers, professors and students from different areas, which proposes to investigate and intervene in the field of work, taking it not only as a formal and informal paid activity, but as every human activity through which the subject is constituted, in its changing relationships with itself, with the other and with the world to be transformed.
5. Laboratory of Studies and Research in Psychoanalysis and Social Criticism – Lapcris
It aims to create a space for training in research and the production of knowledge concerning the intertwining of psychoanalysis with everyday life, thinking about the theme of clinic, politics, institutions in the intertwining with subjectivity.
