COMMUNITY MUSIC THERAPY CONSTRUCTING COLLECTIVES

Abstract

The purpose of this article is to relate the concept of community as construction of collectives of Actor-Network Theory of Bruno Latour and the acting of Community Music therapy. To this end, starts from the presentation of the conceptual point of view of Latour and of the methodology Actor-Network that seeks the analysis of disputes, emphasizing on the concepts of group or community, networks and spokespersons; exemplifies the social research of Music therapists Grazielly Aquino and Raquel Siqueira Silva inside the network approach and proposes a clinical action in conception that the community is network and the intervention is always political. Concludes realizing that is part of the social scientist's political duties to give the actors the ability to produce their own theories about what forms the social. For the music therapist, the policy would be the attitude of mediating, translating, mixing situations, objects, music, theory and connecting senses, powers and links. Living in territories as dramatic as those of the present days, we can find in the art some of the answers we need to help us to build other ways to produce new subjectivities and promote collectives where there is invention.
