SUMMARY:

This thesis project proposes to approach care as an emerging, transitory, unstable, and contested analytical category. The ways in which this concept is appropriated vary according to situational, local, regional, and historical contexts—that is, care is a situated practice, transformed over time and space. It begins with the following question: how can we articulate a non-idealized, situated, and relational vision of care that engages with lived experiences in LGBTQIAPN+ welcoming spaces, recognizing the affective, political, and sociotechnical depth of these practices, without falling into neutral or distanced narratives? The overall objective is to analyze care practices from a contemporary feminist perspective—queer, decolonial, cultural, and materialist—in institutions welcoming LGBTQIAPN+ people. Specifically, the aim is to: (i) discuss the results of a live scoping review on queer care in Social Psychology and care practices with LGBTQIAPN+ people in institutional contexts; (ii) to present Casa Frida – LGBT+ Refuge, in Mexico, as a care infrastructure; and (iii) to present Casa Dulce Seixas, in Brazil, as a space for welcoming and producing relational practices and care policies. The theoretical methodology used is a scoping review, aimed at understanding the state of the art in the research field. The empirical methodology adopted is social cartography, guided by a situated and relational approach to knowledge. The summary of the preliminary results of the scoping review indicates that the field of studies on care and the LGBTQIAPN+ population is still incipient and fragmented, with a predominance of theoretical and critical reflections, few empirical studies, and few methodological contributions. Although the literature does not directly address queer care in institutional care settings, it offers conceptual, ethical, and methodological pillars that allow for the identification of convergences, repetitions, and gaps. Empirically, the meetings held at Casa Frida reveal the multiplicity of care practices—expressed in everyday gestures of sheltering, providing refuge, and welcoming—and allow us to glimpse ways of doing and experiencing care that escape normative definitions. Taken together, the research seeks to broaden the understanding of care as an ethical, political, and affective practice, contributing to the consolidation of a Latin American and queer framework for institutional care, capable of blurring the lines between public policy, embodied experience, and the production of dissident subjectivities.
