Resumo: The aim of the article is to analyze the relationship between mental health, the Covid-19 pandemic, and precariousness, considering the contemporary processes of neoliberal subjectivation that run through them. First, we present the historical and social construction of the concept of mental health since the second half of the 20th century, whose currently naturalized everyday use ranges from wellness to pathology. We show the capture of the concept and its changing in meaning by the neoliberalization processes that establish a set of values that guide the current way of life and tend to colonize all dimensions and experiences of life. Then, we highlight how the Covid-19 pandemic has intensified the processes of neoliberal subjectivation. The precariousness, in turn, are analyzed not especially in objective terms, but mainly subjective, considering the predominant lifestyle in Western capitalist culture. We conclude by making explicit the production of a dominant subjectivity characterized by precariousness and exhaustion.

Primeiro, apresentamos a construção histórica e social do conceito de saúde mental desde a segunda metade do século XX, cujo uso cotidiano atualmente naturalizado abrange desde o bem-estar até a patologia. Mostramos a captura do conceito e sua alteração de significado pelos processos de neoliberalização que instauram um conjunto de valores que orientam o modo de vida atual e tendem a colonizar todas as dimensões e experiências de vida. Em seguida, evidenciamos de que forma a pandemia de Covid-19 intensificou os processos de subjetivação neoliberal. As precariedades, por sua vez, são analisadas não especialmente em termos objetivos, mas sobretudo subjetivos, considerando o estilo de vida predominante na cultura capitalista ocidental. Concluímos explicitando a produção de uma subjetividade dominante caracterizada pela precariedade e pelo esgotamento.Departamento de Sociologia - UnB/SOL2023-10-09info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionhttps://periodicos.unb.br/index.php/sociedade/article/view/4606110.1590/s0102-6992-202338020004Sociedade e Estado; Vol. 38 No. 02 (2023); e46061Sociedade e Estado; Vol. 38 Núm. 02 (2023); e46061Sociedade e Estado; v. 38 n. 02 (2023); e460611980-54620102-6992reponame:Sociedade e Estadoinstname:Universidade de Brasília (UnB)instacron:UNBporhttps://periodicos.unb.br/index.php/sociedade/article/view/46061/39301Copyright (c) 2023 Sociedade e Estadohttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0/deed.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessCorbanezi, Elton2024-01-12T11:51:46Zoai:ojs.pkp.sfu.ca:article/46061Revistahttps://periodicos.unb.br/index.php/sociedade/indexPUBhttps://periodicos.unb.br/index.php/sociedade/oaiportaldeperiodicos@bce.unb.br||revistasol@unb.br1980-54620102-6992opendoar:2024-01-12T11:51:46Sociedade e Estado - Universidade de Brasília (UnB)false
