Resumo
The concept of vulnerability is being discussed
in the public health area as a potential tool
toward the transformation of the health practices
for allowing an articulation individual-community.
Understanding health as a process of subjectivation
determined by social, cultural and historical
contexts, this article aims to approach the question
children and adolescents in street situation on the
basis of the concept of civil vulnerability, using the
theoretical background presented by Robert Castel.
This author understands the social marginalization
lived by different individuals and social groups in a
dynamic form, determined by the association of work
and social insertion. As refers to children and adolescents
in street situation, we believe that they are
reflecting a process of intensified vulnerability (culminating
in disaffiliation) to which thousands of
Brazilian families are subject due to the extreme
social inequalities in our country. We hope that our
theoretical discussion will be able to contribute to
the development of a theoretical reference in public
health and to the planning and implementation of
health actions directed to this population.
