La intervención psicosocial y la construcción de las “mujeres víctimas”. Una aproximación desde las experiencias de Quito (Ecuador) y Santiago (Chile)

Resumen

Practices and discourses manifested in social intervention devices that work with women in Ecuador and Chile contribute to the construction of a subject-victim as justification from a perspective of citizens’ rights. Based on two qualitative studies of services from a gender perspective in Ecuador (gender-based violence) and Chile (inclusion of immigrants), the article seeks to understand the bases for intervention with women that positions them as victims; to show how social interventions based on this constitution of the subject generate certain effects both in the users and in those who intervene; and to look at some forms of resistance (Deleuze and Guattari 2012 [1988]) that appear in the relationship between professionals and users that extend beyond these conceptions and practices.
