Abstract
Homelessness is a complex issue of social exclusion present across diverse regions worldwide. Its existence exposes a system that either fails or succeeds in its own perversity by (re)producing processes of social marginalization and the precarization of life. Homelessness shapes the social determination of health—including mental health—through the housing, food, economic, social, and political insecurity it entails. Living on the streets involves constant exposure to violence, injustice, and instability, all of which affect the subjectivities of those who experience it.
This thesis examines the relationship between mental health and homelessness from an integrated, critical, and non-pathologizing perspective. It understands mental health beyond the individual level, as a relational dimension situated within ties, trajectories, territories, and material conditions of existence. To this end, a qualitative participatory action research study was conducted, centered on the narratives of people with lived experience of homelessness. Between 2022 and 2024, a series of encounters were carried out in social organizations in the City of Buenos Aires, structured in three spiraling stages of inquiry, problematization, and action.
The thesis presents its findings by describing the coordinates that shape distress, suffering, and subjective disruptions, as well as the forms of resistance and re-existence emerging from the participants’ accounts. In doing so, it offers an approach to the everyday experiences of people with lived experience of homelessness in order to better understand the forms of suffering involved and to propose responses that acknowledge these experiences while fostering
alternative ways of living.
