Deslocamentos internacionais, educação e saúde global : os discursos biopolíticos que produzem o sujeito migrante.

Abstract

Migrations are one of the processes that have gained the most visibility in the last years, mainly because they have a great impact in diverse areas of life, among them social, political and cultural means. Aligned with this, health and migrant issues become problematic to be discussed and thought of primarily by organizations and agencies operating on the global stage. This dissertation aims to analyze the production of migrant subjects through the official discourse of agencies promoting global health, as well as to problematize the different ways in which these strategies (re) produce such discourses in an interconnected space through migrations. For this purpose, two documents produced by the World Health Organization (WHO) and the International Organization of Migration (IOM), which deal with these issues, were used as analytical material. Thus, the research problem was led through a problematization of the documents by the Foucaltian references, where the production of the migrant subjects was analyzed through the biopolitical discourses of global health and the significant reverberations of such discourses in the (re) production of the space. In view of the migratory processes, in the scope of the subject worked, it can be said that such strategies are directed, more closely, to the migrants and the geopolitical actions related to this group of individuals, eventually (re) producing the space from the discursive materialities that involve the safety of life through the perspective of health. In presenting a number of issues regarding migration processes linked to issues related to risk, security and human rights, the documents, in a way, produce who these subjects are: vulnerable, dangerous, problematic, strange, different, and so on. to produce who these subjects are, the documents also produce certain ways of acting and intervening on these individuals and groups, in view of Global Health. From this perspective it can be said that the health discourse itself can become an unfavorable discourse for the migrant, since, as it mainly points out the diverse problems of migrations through statistical data, and because of socioeconomic and political differences, it can also be used as an element that encourages anti-migration policies, xenophobia and other processes.
