Abstract

In this article, I analyzed the constitution of care in the work of volunteers in an institution that aims to prevent suicide at a distance. I used praxiography (ethnography of practices) inspired by Annemarie Mol. The results achieved pointed to a type of approach in which the relationship between caregivers and users is produced through collaborative actions between them and the artifacts involved. The production of care reflects this inter-influence, aiming to deal with variables that claim political actions during the process. It was observed that the care undertaken does not result from mere instrumentality, but from ingenious dynamics to consolidate it
