Sujetos del dolor, territorio de la dignidad

Abstract

ResumenEste artículo parte de un compromiso por entender la configuración diacrónica que una población concreta hace de su "experiencia de salud". Esta comunidad es el municipio de Campo de Nijar (Almería, España), en el que se llevó a cabo un trabajo etnográfico recopilando las narraciones de la población autóctona del municipio, en el que se alterna la reconstrucción de su memoria colectiva y sus narraciones personales. En ellas se encuentran las claves para entender los complejos mecanismos intersubjetivos que inciden de forma tanto consciente como inconsciente, en la construcción de los sentidos imperantes sobre la salud de los habitantes de un territorio resignificado a lo largo de la historia.Palabras clave: antropología médica, comunicación, medicalización, memoria colectiva, ruralidad, semiótica, salud. AbstractThis article starts with a commitment to understanding the diachronic setting that a specific population makes on their "health experience". This community is the village of Campo de Nijar (Almería, Spain), where the researcher conducted an ethnographic work collecting the stories of the indigenous population of the municipality. This ethnographic work alternates the reconstruction of collective memory and personal narratives. The latter are keys to understanding the complex intersubjective mechanisms that influence both conscious and unconscious in the construction of the prevailing health senses of the population of a territory resignified throughout history.

“…We understand the experience of health as a social process of production of meaning. This process includes the intersubjective interpretation of disease, pain, life, medicalization scenarios, quality of life and health as capital, right, and duty [ 38 ].…”
