Abstract:

Abstract The present work initially revisits some of the most significant questions related to the conception of health developed in the contemporary discursive practices, as of its relation with the normative capacity of the individuals facing the institution of new social and or biological norms. After that, we briefly rescue the dialectical model of the social determination process of health-disease in the context of the contradictory processes of the social reproduction system as in the scope of the biopsychological nexuses on outcome and its historically specific ways of life. In the sequence, we transit under the contradictory dimensions of the capitalist social reproduction process and its techno-economic logic of production and consumption, considering its respective impacts on the life conditions and health of the citizens and collectives. Finally, we reflect on the importance of the emancipative praxis for epidemiology in the conquest of well-being and quality of life as we emphasize the necessity of its commitment in the construction of a new paradigm for the public health field in its praxis of knowing to act.
