Abstract

This paper identifies the current portfolio of the Brazilian Network for the Public Production of Medicines (RBPPM) and evaluates the modernization and expansion of the Official Pharmaceutical Laboratories (OPLs) production capacity in the last seven years. Investments of about R$ 300 million have been made to expand the annual installed capacity from 5 to 16.6 billion Pharmaceutical Units¹ (PUs). The work consisted of interviews, literature searches and queries to the database of the Official Laboratories Association, National Health Surveillance Agency (ANVISA), Ministry of Health (MS) and Ministry of Science and Technology (MCT). According to the RBPPM portfolio, 99% are similar drugs and the majority of the registers address hypertension and analgesia treatments. The laboratories structure can be considered national property, not only because they produce drugs neglected by the private industry but also because they serve as price regulators and have the potential to develop new pharmaceutical products and formulations. The leading Official Pharmaceutical Laboratories are skilled and competent both in human resources and infrastructure, causing OPLs to be strategic to the MH, thus contributing to the relevance in healthcare.

Dossier Care-in-interaction: practices, knowledge, and reflexivity in health (v. 18, n. 2) Apr./Jun. 2024.

October 27, 2023

A concept inseparable from communication, interaction is a constitutive part of the communicative act. While broad and guided by different approaches, human communication interactional studies have the common analytical challenge of observing the joint construction of utterances and their actional values in the microecological environment in which they occur, which implies looking emically, that is, starting from within, and considering the reflective processes of the people participating in that human communication interaction (Rodrigues, 2021).

This dossier, whose title mobilizes the care-in-interaction concept, addresses health care from an interactionist perspective (Ostermann; Meneghel, 2012), with particular interest in research with a multimodal focus to articulate, in a finely detailed descriptive work, speech and body studies (Mondada, 2018).

The expression care-in-interaction is generated by a common matrix in Ethnomethodology and Conversation Analysis (EMCA) (Loder; Jung, 2008), an investigative current originating from North American sociology, derived from Harold Garfinkel’s Ethnomethodology, which has been embraced globally in multiple disciplinary fields (Watson; Gastaldo, 2015), and which has brought speech-and-the-body-in-interaction as an object of study in the last ten years.

Analyses are data driven and can mobilize and articulate other theoretical currents, which focus on multiple objects and events, namely, polyphony and Bakhtinian dialogism, the Austinian analysis of speech acts, the Goffmanian face work and politeness, contextualization prosodic cues, and justifications and the theory of argumentation in language.

From the perspective of ethnomethodological and conversation analysis, care-in-interaction studies open up a range of investigations into interactions in different environments using several resources. As Harvey Sacks points out in his classical study of telephone conversations recorded by a suicide prevention center in the United States of America and, therefore, mediated by a technological device for distance communication, research whose collected material does not include all multimodal resources available in face-to-face interactions bring about challenges that reinforce the great analytical potential of looking inward, considering the natural and artificial devices of mediation to the world.

Two initial questions instigated this dossier: a) How is interactivity being operated in different environments and settings, especially regarding health topics? b) In what ways can microanalytical approaches to studies on interactions contribute to understanding social processes?

We encourage contributions from authors from different social, human, and health sciences fields – with particular emphasis on communication studies, language, anthropology, social work, and sociology – for thematic sub-axes such as:

Epistemic asymmetries, situated cognition, intercomprehension, and emotions-in-interaction;
Microanalytical studies of conversational frameworks of social and health intervention;
Telepresence interactions, mediated by multimodal computers (microphone, speaker, webcam, and screen);
Interactional frameworks of joint research and self-confrontation practices in the training of health and social professionals;
Participation of citizens in devices for joint analysis of service and care practices (citizen science);
Atypical interactions in their interdisciplinary dimensions of social studies of disability.
