The fabulative power of images, according to Jacques Rancière, lies in the interval operations which produce displacements, unforeseen events and new dispositions in the scenes of appearance and dissensus which configure the sensitive order of politics. He shows how the "random moment" can change the readability and distribution of times and spaces that configure the appearance of vulnerable subjects. The objective of this article is to show, through the analysis of certain photographic images of the exposition “Elas, Madalenas” (Lucas Ávila, 2014), how transsexual women crack the systems of judgment and normative control when they appear on images. This appearance is possible by the work of a fabulative figuration which invent a form of life whose power lies in the enunciative and dissensual act which refuses to respond to pre-established expectations. The image creates an operation to upset the explanatory control over the political appearance of the experience. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this assay, we discuss how the heterosexual gender norms establish specific practices to the experience of drug-abusive women and to the health care directed to them. We analyze how women are subjected to the condition of object in the health practices, mainly based on biopolitical normalization and organized by medicalization device, which focuses less on hearing of the singularities than on the management of the bodies. We conclude affirming the importance of binding as the relational technology for the increasing of the possibilities for singularities understanding, an important basis for a deeper exploration of the women ways of engaging the world, and for the development of strategies for care and preservation in drug use.

This is a narrative research, inserted in the feminist epistemological field, that sought to know the life trajectory of women who use crack. A multi-sited ethnographic research was carried out, which started from listening to drug-using women who took part in a public mental health service to, then, following two of them through the spaces in which they lived, namely, shelter, school, health center, in addition to their own homes. The narrative interview technique was used as data collection method. The act of listening to the women allowed us to disarticulate fixed meanings and challenge the guiding intelligibility of care practices to people who use drugs. The limitations that the condition of user of a mental health service establishes to the enunciation of a valid knowledge of the women about themselves stood out, as their narratives are a product of the discourse created about them by the health field, which institutes and prescribes their own materialization as drug users.

The article aims to analyze the scientific production about collective actions and political behavior written by authors of Brazilian social psychology. The main issue is to analyze how the authors understand the politicization of social relations and the process of building a democratic society. The authors were selected from three sources - Research Groups of the CNPq, Work Groups of the ANPEPP, and Psychology and Society Brazilian Journal - and the papers were analyzed by the perspective of the Plural and Radical Democratic Theory (Ernesto Laclau and Chantal Mouffe). The discussion demonstrates the distance of the articles in relation to the conception of the political based on the articulation between three moments - moment of the articulation, the moment of the contingency, moment of the antagonism - and the implications these distance. Moreover, the discussion suggests the emergence of social psychology in the debate about the political through a resumption of the concept of the hegemony in a non-essentialist perspective.
