Emancipatory perspectives on health and Living Well compared to the limitations of the Brazilian development model

ABSTRACT

In the context of the Rio+20 and with a view to ensuring health for all, this essay discussed a new kind of thinking and promotion of participation of the peoples who are traditionally exploited and excluded as a result of capitalist development models and colonizers of human life and nature. To this effect, the Brazilian way of development was analyzed with a focus on the agribusiness and its contradictions, and criticized by means of Living Well. It is proposed here to link the idea of Living Well to the peoples’ demands for another world, which could be implemented by means of anti-hegemonic dimensions of power, knowledge and rights, as an emancipating project.
