Sociodrama of the Brazilian People: Reflections on Socionomy and digital subjectivity

Abstract

This study presents reflections on a public sociodrama carried out online during the period of social isolation of the Covid-19 pandemic, with spontaneous participation of people from different parts of Brazil. The data analyzed were collected through the participants’ statements in the roles of the characters that appeared in the scenic montage, ensuring group anonymity. Reflections on the experience point to the sociatric method as a way of producing subjectivities and awareness about their implications in the current scenario of virtual relationships mediated by information technologies and artificial intelligence. The therapeutic potential of Sociodrama is concluded by revealing the risks arising from the replacement of auxiliary egos (corporeality, affections) by auxiliary objects (technology, artificial intelligence).
