The singular and the collective

Logics and devices to think about public policies in orientation

Abstract

The social, political and cultural reconfiguration that our region has been developing in recent years, invites us to look inside our practices in a permanent review process. Installed complexity as a paradigm, we hold readings that have long ceased to be simplistic, disciplinary, and reductionist.

It is our intention to provide a view of the orientation in light of the socio-historical transformations that have occurred since the writing of the MTO (Gavilán, 2017), in what we believe has been its fundamental contribution, insofar as it allows to open the horizon of the intervention in orientation, think about your specificity in complex contexts and above all, do not reduce your actions to simple parts of a process.

In this complex and unequal context, we believe that it is necessary to design public politics in orientation that put the idea of orientation into play as a tool for social inclusion that guarantees the same rights for all people.

We start by considering the social dimension of counseling practice and from that conceptual framework. We understand the need to generate practices where the singular is constituted as a subjective brand in that collective in which he is inevitably intertwined.
