ABSTRACT
The interest of collective health researchers in the the study of political process has grown in
recent years and has contributed to the deepening of epistemological criticism and to the
theoretical-methodological development of a research strand that has been termed ‘political
analysis in health'. Therefore, this thesis aims to both systematize some of these elaborations,
as well as to problematize them, with a purpose of overcoming that is epistemologically based
on a dialectical approach, developed by an involved subject; methodologically in textual
analysis currents chosen to examine the scientific productions reviewed, either systematically
or narratively; and theoretically in marxist and anarchist approaches, which privilege to treat
three moments in an articulated way: (1) the analysis of structural and conjunctural aspects, so
as to think together about the 'state of things' that lasts in time and the facts of different past,
including the most recent one, which tries to accompany the present, at the local and
international level; (2) the elaboration of objectives and proposals that subsidize their projects,
that is, that fuel expectations about the future; (3) the constitution of the subjects, their
articulations and the act of putting in place, at present, strategies and tactics based on the past,
but with a future-oriented look. Analyzing the articles, different theories and methods were
identified, but it is worth noting the fact that most do not bother to make them explicit. As
regards the analysis of the conjuncture, theoretical and methodological elaborations were
found that subsidize its application in the scientific field and, in the case of applying it to the
study of specific sectors such as health, it was evident the importance of avoiding that the
look is limited to them, since to disregard factors that extrapolate them can harm the action.
Concerning the studies about the health movement, it was observed that the choice of
theoretical and methodological references impacted both the privileged aspects and scope of
the analyzes, as well as the subjects actions. It is worth highlighting the fact that many
scholars of the Brazilian Sanitary Reform present themselves as political subjects of the
movement. On the other hand, the main silencing identified is related to the organization of
these subjects and this is one of the factors that leads to questions about formulations that
propose to treat it as a single cohesive organization. It was possible to identify actions
triggered by several individual and collective subjects, but the articles consider little the way
they were related organizationally, either within the groups that added individual subjects or
those that were constituted from links between collective subjects, in a format that has
similarities with the federations identified in the anarchist referential. It was also perceived
the importance of an epistemological construction that allows to strengthen convergence
elements between the scientific praxis and the concrete action of the subjects, including in
what refers to their political praxis. In this respect, a problem to be faced is the continuity of
relations of oppression that do not depend only on the fact that one has means of production,
but are also fed by inequalities in access to decision-making spaces and by 'scientifically
grounded' coercive impositions.
