RESUMO:

This work starts from the practice of self-injury as a conceptual operator to problematize medicalization in the contemporary world. Medicalization is based on a simplistic logic that reduces a multifaceted set of practices to a cause-and-effect relationship that involves only the medical-biological and which results in the pathologization of deviant conducts. One of these deviant behaviors can be illustrated by the practice of self-injury, which is characterized by cuts, injuries or burns by the body, performed by the subject without suicide intention. The present dissertation seeks to investigate the possible discontinuities of the body from modernity to contemporaneity, to situate the issue of medicalization based on self-injury and to problematize the medicalizing conception of the practice of self-injury. In order to achieve this goal, it uses the bibliographical revision of the narrative type to reflect on the conception of body in the contemporaneity and the netnographic method, branch of ethnography, to survey reports of self-harm in social networks. It is maintained that, in the present time, self-harm has come to be seen as deviant practice, since the body is considered as supreme good and, as such, must be protected. In contradistinction to the medicalizing logic, this research encouraged the apprehension of self-harm as a complex phenomenon, emphasizing the importance of the discourse of the one who experiences the practice and the uniqueness of the reasons in which the practice occurs.
