Resumo: This paper explores the way those commonly described as “lay persons”, “the public” or “patients” appropriate biomedical and biological knowledge and make it part of their repertoires of experience, including embodied experience, as well as the specific apparatuses or dispositifs associated with health promotion or education. The paper draws on an experimental initiative in health promotion in Brazil. This initiative raises intriguing challenges to current approaches to what counts as knowledge and how it is associated with the empowerment of citizens in relation to health.

O artigo baseia-se numa iniciativa experimental levada a cabo no Brasil no domínio da promoção de saúde. Esta iniciativa suscita alguns desafios interessantes às definições do que conta como conhecimento e ao modo como este está associado à capacitação dos cidadãos no domínio da saúde.CIAS2012info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/articlehttp://hdl.handle.net/10316/41526http://hdl.handle.net/10316/41526https://doi.org/10.14195/2182-7982_29_4https://doi.org/10.14195/2182-7982_29_4por0870-0990https://digitalis.uc.pt/pt-pt/artigo/%E2%80%9Ci_have_become_microscope_my_own_body%E2%80%9D_local_biologies_and_embodiment_biomedical_knowledgeNunes, João Arriscadoinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessreponame:Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos)instname:Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãoinstacron:RCAAP2021-06-29T10:03:26Zoai:estudogeral.uc.pt:10316/41526Portal AgregadorONGhttps://www.rcaap.pt/oai/openaireopendoar:71602024-03-19T20:51:03.024086Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos) - Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãofalse
