In the current context, asylum deconstruction both in the academic environment and to society has been a theme that has brought several discussions that have emphasized the struggle for the deinstitutionalization of madness and for the end of asylums, as well as the historical constitution and memory of health and mental illness. In this trajectory of deinstitutionalization of madness, Instituto Municipal Nise da Silveira (IMNS) has acted on some fronts, ranging from the architectural restructuring of the Institute to the creation of devices capable of building a new vision of madness in society through art and culture. The present study has aimed at understanding how Núcleo de Articulação e Intervenções Culturais - NAIC (Articulation and Cultural Interventions Center) of Instituto Nise da Silveira, promotes the asylum deconstruction process through its daily organizational practices. Given what has been said, the present thesis joins the interpretative paradigm, since it understands that the phenomena are socially constructed, and are constituted from interactions of social agents. According to Deetz (2001), organizations are like a social place, where people exchange characteristics and their objective is to show how reality is socially constructed and maintained through conversations, interactions, stories and rituals. Therefore this research is in line with an interpretative paradigm. To conduct this study, the choice was the use of the Action Research as well as methods of ethnographic inspiration - participant observation and in-depth interviews - seeking to be part of the experience lived by users of mental health services to understand the organizational practices of Núcleo de Articulação e Intervenções Culturais – NAIC (Articulation and Cultural Interventions Center) of Instituto Nise da Silveira as organizing in this process of asylum construction and deconstruction. In the present study, the Action Research methodological proposal was adopted, which constitutes, as a formal object, in a triple sequence: (1) Action-research; (2) Thematization; and (3) Programming - action. Action Research is an approach based on participation and oriented towards action directed by the research subjects, whose main objective is to transform a given social reality, providing benefits to all actors involved in the process (LODI et al, 2017 ). In the first part, Action-Research, the development of a common theoretical framework was initially carried out, the selection of a strategic area, the approximation of the area and participant investigation. When it came to the Thematization stage, the researcher made the theoretical reduction, then thematic reduction and ended this stage with the elaboration of the programs for the chosen devices, which were: (1) Loucura Suburbana (Suburban Madness), the carnival group of Instituto Municipal Nise da Silveira; and (2) Espaço da Diferença Program (Difference Space Program), which is a Rádio Revolução FM program (Revolution Radio FM), where users find space to express themselves on a weekly basis. To end this research, Projects in Action developed for the studied devices were executed and evaluated. Approaching and distancing were verified in relation to the studied devices. Such results also suggest that research on asylum deconstruction through culture should take into account the heterogeneity of these devices, and avoid treating them in a reductionist way, as if it were a homogeneous device. It is noticed that in the asylum deconstruction process, IMNS has promoted several actions, such as: (1) significant reduction of beds in the psychiatric hospital, (2) new services and experiences that help to exercise care in the territory, (3) guarantee of transformation of public attention in mental health in the State, (4) development of multiple art, culture and income making projects, which has promoted the autonomy of users of mental health services, and (5) mainly, the willingness to fight against whatever affects human dignity. In this process it is observed that NAIC and its devices promote construction of affection and solidarity bonds, a legacy left by Dr. Nise da Silveira. The main contributions of this research are: to understand the organizational practices of NAIC and its devices through the elaboration of the stages, phases and steps of the Research Action, and to bring theoretical and practical contributions to the Institute. Moreover, the conceptual constructions carried out to achieve specific objectives of this work are important for the Sensemaking and Organizing research in Organizational Studies. Finally, this research does not end at the conclusion of this thesis, on the contrary, it is the beginning of a journey in the struggle for a society with no asylums.
