GUAZZELLI BERNARDES, ANITA  and  HILLESHEIM, BETINA. Insistence in minorating: reflections on public policies and health. Av. Psicol. Latinoam. [online]. 2012, vol.30, n.2, pp.369-380. ISSN 1794-4724.

This paper discusses possibilities of articulation of public health policies with the concept of minor literature. The exercise of reflection aims at migrating from the field of understanding public policies as forms of governmentality to the insistences in minorating produced as escape lines. This means considering public policies as machines that, in the same way they produce stratifications, are also a stage for experiences of deterritorialization. This discussion is considered as an important device both to health practices and to Psychology concerning their need for reinventing themselves, thus undoing strata and remaking themselves not as matter and form, but as speed and affects. Firstly, the conceptual field has been circumscribed, understanding public policies as both governmentality strategy and something that changes its forms and opens itself to minoration. From that, some cartographies of public policies and minoration provocations have been approached, allowing for the conduction of the considerations of this way of thinking in the very psychological field.
