Abstract

This article deals with the partial results of a doctoral research that investigate, in Brazilian family arrangements, processes of resistance to the logics of normalization and dominant framing. To this end, it approaches the contemporary family in its complexity, starting from compositions that connect and escape the nuclear family model. Based on Deleuze and Guattari’s concept of rhizome, it displaces the unifying axis of this dominant model, presenting different lines that make up different family compositions, in a network of relationships that can be traversed in different directions, through lines of hard segmentarity and lines of escape. Associating the place of women, of hygienist medicine, and of capitalism itself, it unveils the heterogeneous crossings present in the diversity of the group. We conclude about the need to sustain the multiplicities of forces that transversalize the families, in order to deconstruct dualisms and judgments.
