CARTOGRAPHIC EXPERIMENTATION: EXPERIENCE REPORT ON THE PATHS OF HOME VISIT IN MENTAL HEALTH

Abstract

This text is about an experience report whose objective is to present the cartography  of an experience of home visit in mental health experienced by a nurse at the time of her undergraduation as a Nursing major in the University. The cartography method inspired in the Difference Philosophy by Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari was the  methodologic strategy chosen, in order to follow the processuality of the experience and the production of subjectivities. Case description: the experience of home visit was an academic activity associated to health services of Unified Health System at a town in the countryside of Bahia. The experience recollected by the cartography perspective during the postgraduate conclusion increases thoughts, analysis, recognitions and knowledge, creating a new experience at all. Along the construction report some concepts such as transversality, attention, territorialization and rhizome, largely discussed by the cartography perspective, appeared like ways on the method construction itself and mode to report the experience, as suggested by the cartography method. In conclusion that the experience doesn’t finish by the end of the report, some results can be highlighted on this submersion of a cartographer undergoing formation that offers her some surprises as meetings, obstacles, breakthroughs, production of knowledge and recognitions, typical of a pathway.
