The social dimension of health in the extension field: collective projects at stake (II)

Abstract

Like a kaleidoscope that forms different images according to the movement of our hand and the combination of shapes and colors of the artifact in question, in this second editorial we will point out other compositions in the thematic continuity of the call. We think that the university space and, particularly the outreach experiences, are configured as a sounding board and at the same time potential architects in promoting critical approaches to the dominant and medicalizing modes of social production in health.
"What do you see, what do you see when you see me?" sang Divididos in the 90's; we invite you to take up these questions again, seeking to gather views, with social lenses around the health context where extension projects are located.
With the Covid 19 pandemic, a broad and complex scenario was configured, where we situate the health-disease-care processes. In this context, we will dwell on some pandemic "faces", which we will qualify as "good and bad", grouping in these two arbitrary categories a scale that could be presented with nuances and mixtures, to then mention the challenges that are open to us in the extensionist transhumance.
