Crisis as potentiality: proximity care and the epidemic by Covid-19

Abstract SEIXAS, Clarissa Terenzi et al. Crisis as potentiality: proximity care and the epidemic by Covid-19. Interface (Botucatu) [online]. 2021, vol.25, suppl.1, e200379. Epub 20-Nov-2020. ISSN 1807-5762. https://doi.org/10.1590/interface.200379. This article aims at questioning the privatizing hospital-centered biomedical model from the point of view of the response to the Covid-19 epidemic, which focuses on hospital care and hard and light-hard technologies. In this context, we argue that the governmental political project of defunding the public health system and other social policies severely aggravates this scenario. Putting under the spotlight the experiences of other countries, we present ‘Proximity Care’ as a territorial-based construction centered on light technologies for the production of highly complex care. Proximity Care appears under

Preventivism and homosexuals in the context of the Brazilian military dictatorship: An analysis based on Sérgio Arouca’s contributions

Abstract MEIRELLES, Rodrigo e IANNI, Aurea Maria Zöllner. Preventivism and homosexuals in the context of the Brazilian military dictatorship: An analysis based on Sérgio Arouca’s contributions. Interface (Botucatu) [online]. 2020, vol.24, e200043. Epub 11-Nov-2020. ISSN 1807-5762. https://doi.org/10.1590/interface.200043. In Brazil, the medical school reform grounded on preventive medicine was disseminated, to a large extent, during the military dictatorship (1964-1985). The preventivist project is investigated here beyond a curricular reorganization, as it had a social and political role. This role was clearly visible, specifically, in the way in which it characterized homosexuals in the military dictatorship. We analyzed publications of the newspaper “Jornal do Brasil” about scientific conferences that focused on preventivism in the fight against youth’s
