Resumo: Reflections about “risk society” theory in the contemporary world foresee personal and institutional changes. Adjustments in global production and consumption patterns are conditions for the prevention of various risks to which the population is increasingly susceptible. This article seeks to analyze the potential and limitations of the contemporary debate about risks (especially health-related) when applied to the context of Haitian society. We examine the peculiarities of the debate surrounding the correlations ‘genetic predisposition-health’ and ‘lifestyle-health’ – an integral part of the discussion about health risks in developed societies – in contrast to socioeconomic aspects, which are associated to the concept of risk in the context of an extremely vulnerable society. Indeed, risk factors cannot be separated from the socioeconomic and cultural contexts and the notion of risk in this society has a different meaning than in developed societies, being eminently emergent and pragmatic.

O artigo pretende analisar as potencialidades e limites do debate contemporâneo sobre os riscos (especialmente os relacionados à saúde) quando aplicado ao contexto da sociedade haitiana. Mostramos as peculiaridades do debate sobre as correlações: saúde-predisposição genética e saúde-estilo de vida, próprias do debate sobre os riscos à saúde nas sociedades desenvolvidas, em contraste com os aspectos sócio econômicos, que envolvem o conceito de risco no contexto de uma sociedade extremamente vulnerável. Os fatores de risco não estão separados da influência do contexto socioeconômico e cultural e a noção de risco nesta sociedade apresenta outra significação quando comparada às sociedades desenvolvidas, sendo eminentemente emergencial e pragmática.FCL-UNESP Laboratório Editorial2016-12-19info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.fclar.unesp.br/estudos/article/view/8374Estudos de Sociologia; v. 21 n. 41 (2016): Dossiê: Colonialidade, Subalternidade e Identidades1982-47181414-0144reponame:Estudos de Sociologiainstname:Universidade Estadual Paulista (UNESP)instacron:UNESPporhttps://periodicos.fclar.unesp.br/estudos/article/view/8374/6065Copyright (c) 2016 Estudos de Sociologiainfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessGioda, Fabiane RosaGrisotti, MarciaRial, Carmem Silvia2021-05-12T13:48:10Zoai:ojs.pkp.sfu.ca:article/8374Revistahttp://seer.fclar.unesp.br/estudosPUBhttp://seer.fclar.unesp.br/estudos/oaistraud.fclar@unesp.br||estudosdesociologia@fclar.unesp.br||maria.jardim@unesp.br1982-47181414-0144opendoar:2021-05-12T13:48:10Estudos de Sociologia - Universidade Estadual Paulista (UNESP)false
