Abstract(s)
De forma generalizada, os sem-abrigo são representados e tratados pelos não-sem-abrigo como sujeitos amorais e anormativos, o que diminui de forma fundamental as suas possibilidades de vida. Esta expulsão dos sem-abrigo das esferas da moral e da normatividade dominante traduz-se num laço de tipo particular que liga estes sujeitos à colectividade com que partilham um espaço-tempo na exacta medida em que os desqualifica face a todos os outros sujeitos. Devido a isto, diversos sem-abrigo exploram possibilidades de constituição de uma forma de pertença à colectividade que não os menorize, o que, necessariamente, tem de se processar como um exercício de reintegração moral e normativa dos sujeitos. Contra as expectativas de que sejam amorais, diversos sem-abrigo repetidamente expressam um impulso moral de responsabilização pelo outro
necessitado de ajuda, concretizado através de dádivas de si mesmo ao outro. É a imediaticidade da necessidade do outro que dá origem a estes actos, que dispensam quaisquer outras considerações. Mas, na sucessão de tais acções morais efectivadas como dom, estes sujeitos reivindicam e procuram gerar um outro tipo de laço com a colectividade, que não os inferiorize e lhes permita constituírem-se como sujeitos ao
mesmo nível dos restantes.
The homeless are generally perceived and treated by non-homeless as amoral and anormative subjects, which diminishes in a fundamental manner their life possibilities. This expulsion of the homeless from the spheres of morality and dominant normativity translates into a particular type of bond that connects theses subjects to the collective with which they share a space-time to the exact degree in which it disqualifies them in view of every other subjects. Because of this several homeless explore the possibilities of establishing another form of belonging to the collective, one that does not disqualify them. This necessarily has to be a process of moral and normative reintegration of these subjects. Against the expectations that they are amoral, several homeless repeatedly express a moral impulse of taking responsibility for the other in need of help that is realized through gifts of oneself to the other. It is the immediacy of the need of the other that gives rise to these actions, doing away with every other thought. Nevertheless, in the sequence of such moral acts realized as gift, these subjects claim and seek to generate another kind of bond with the collective, one that does not disqualify them and the allows them to create themselves as subjects on the same level as the rest.
