SUMMARY:

This dissertation is situated at the intersections of philosophy, education, and health, woven together by threads of (auto)biographical research and research-training. It seeks to comprehend the affections and affects (in the Spinozan sense) reported in the utilization of a pedagogical device called the "Box of Experiments," which invoked self-narratives from participants in a continuing health education course aimed at enhancing care for individuals with obesity. Confronting the challenge of revisiting these narratives, including my own as a researcher and participant in this process, using Gadamer's hermeneutics for the analysis of empirical material, the goal was to reflect on how the course prompted participants to think and act on obesity. Not obesity conceived (and fictionalized) solely by biopolitics but rather obesity contemplated from its biopsychosocial and anthropological dimensions, thus, critically. In this auto-poetic - autopoeitic process, experiences and meanings of (my) personal and professional journeys were produced, prompting me to question the games of truths and powers that unfolded at the boundaries between discourses to contemplate an obesity "between boxes": that is, revealing itself in the intersections of knowledge, experiences, and affects. In this process, anguish, guilt, and surprise are affects that emerge when students narrate their encounters with the topics addressed by the course, particularly the clash between the epistemological horizons of the hegemonic management of obesity and the theories proposed by the course; enthusiasm, impetus, and readiness appear as feelings driving the change in the practices of these professionals.
