Reverberações da medicalização : paisagens e trajetórias informacionais em consumos de performance
Telmo Costa Clamote
Documento (.pdf)
AbstractThis article discusses the relationship between information sources and social practices in the use of medicines and other products for performance purposes. Setting it against the backdrop of contemporary infoscapes, we analyze how the plurality of information sources they comprise are articulated in informational trajectories, which structure consumption practices and dispositions. These trajectories enable us to grasp the diversity of social avenues through which this social logic of consumption is advanced. Particularly, we will emphasize its articulation with processes of medicalization and individuals’ contexts of action, and its implications. The empirical evidence for this discussion comes from a national study on performance consumptions among young people in Portugal.
