Institutional music therapy in workers' health: connections, interfaces and production

This paper proposes and analyzes Music Therapy as a production strategy towards workers' health in a study developed with nurse technicians from a Children's Intensive Care Center of a public hospital in Porto Alegre. The concern with workers' health brings about new theoretical, conceptual, ethical and political queries in the field of Music Therapy, such queries are related with the working field and its contemporary features, with the working being and with health; these queries produce consequences on Music Therapy and Music therapists contemporarily. Based on Foucault's contributions, this paper focuses on the discussion about hospitals being a field for subjectivities production, from the development of the 'Panaudio' concept, mapping and analyzing its effects, which are effective by sound contexts. This paper also points out possible controls and resistances and proposes the production of new subjectivities by using musical practices in Music Therapy, in a proposal of institutional approach.
