Practices in Psychology, formation and resistance in life

Abstract

This article aims at reflecting about possibilities of resistance in academic life at the university. Such a reflection has elected at its starting point two practices developed by students in their formation process in the Psychology Graduation Course of the Federal University of Catalão/UFCAT, namely, the Psi Soirée (extension and culture action) and singing groups in CAPS (a specific activity related to the supervised training students take as part of the curriculum). The soirée is taken as a space-time experimentation of other ways of being together at the university. It brings small events in defense of a minor Education, performed in the gaps found in the institutionalized norms. In the same perspective, the singing groups make possible an inventive way of learning. As a consequence of such a learning, a health scenario becomes possible for the users, for the trainees and for the supervisor. These minor practices, vital for bodies at the limit of their exhaustion, state different temporalities and existential territories that go against the everyday bruising present in institutions in times of uncertainties and unacceptable setbacks.
