Mídias sociais, arte e o processo de saúde-doença em estudantes universitárias: interlocuções entre Pichon e Han.

Abstract

Currently, the human relationship with digital technologies and social media (SM) is increasingly evident and is permeated by a discursiveness linked to performance, positivity and productivity, which is evidently manifested in university students. Often, the student who enters higher education has expectations in relation to the university experience, which are outlined from the individual aspects, pass through the family concerns that are structured from the social dimension, but which are often not related to the concrete experience lived by them in this context. This Dissertation aims to investigate how SD interfere in the health-disease processes of university students and is composed of two studies. In Study 1, we investigated the relationship between SD and the reproduction of discourse associated with performance, positivity and productivity and how this relationship interferes with the health-disease processes of university students who are part of a group process. In Study 2, we verified how the use of art can favor group integration and communication and whether it can become an instrument allied to health promotion processes. In both studies, the intervention and experience production strategy was the operative group; the selection of emergents was the method of analysis of group experiences. The group was composed of six university students from different courses in the area of Health; it took place remotely due to the physical distance imposed by the Covid-19 pandemic, through the Google Meet tool, for 01 weekly meetings, lasting 1 hour each. We use the theoretical dialogue between Enrique Pichon-Rivière and Byung-Chul Han to think about their experiences. Two authors in different socio-historical times and training processes, but who are connected in complementary ways to think about contemporary subjects and the health-disease processes that surround them. It was evidenced in the research that the MS produce relevant effects on the students' perception of their performance, demands, anxiety and frustrations and that art can be an important resource in the integration and promotion of health. Considering the limits of the study that took place in a specific section, composed of women students of health courses at an institution in the interior of Minas Gerais, the possibility of expanding this analysis to broader fields is evident.
