DETERMINAÇÕES SOCIETÁRIAS DO MODO DE PRODUÇÃO CAPITALISTA NA VIOLÊNCIA

UMA ANÁLISE DO CRESCIMENTO DA VIOLÊNCIA AUTOPROVOCADA DE UM MUNICÍPIO DO RIO GRANDE DO NORTE

Abstract

Abstract: Studies show that psychosocial suffering and illness have existed for a long time and are closely related to the capitalist mode of production. In contemporary times, with transformations in the workplace and the reconfiguration of the neoliberal state, the living conditions of the working class have become more precarious, with profound repercussions on their mental health and situations of self-inflicted violence.  Since the 2016 coup, the trivialization of human life and nature has intensified, due to the destructive nature of capital. This article aims to discuss the relationship between psychosocial suffering and the growth of self-inflicted violence in the capitalist mode of production and its determinants. It is based on the dialectical-critical method, through a literature review, documentary and field research. The results show that there is a relationship between the contemporary capitalist mode of production and the growth in situations of self-inflicted violence in Brazil and in the municipality of Parnamirim/RN.
