GIL, Mariano. Descriptive-explanatory advances of an anthropological investigation in a problematic consumption care device in Rosario, Santa Fe. Runa [online]. 2024, vol.45, n.1, pp.247-265.  Epub Feb 01, 2024. ISSN 1851-9628.  http://dx.doi.org/10.34096/runa.v45i1.12271.

In this article we propose to present some descriptive-explanatory advances of an anthropological investigation in a problematic consumption care device in the city of Rosario, Santa Fe. These advances are produced within the framework of a broader project, which aims to analyze the meanings and practices constructed by workers of state devices that address problematic substance use in the province of Santa Fe. We maintain that the relationship built in the field with the research subjects contributes to processes of reflection on health practices and mental health. At the same time, the systematization of experiences makes it possible to make visible the tensions that play out in the implementation of public policies in everyday contexts. In this writing we recover some aspects that make our field work into a specific device, which constitutes one of the empirical references of the research.

Keywords : Problematic consumption; Public policies; Health work; Mental health; State devices.
