Between the intensity of life and the "scuff" of death: an experience of psychoactive mapping

This work is the result of a scientific initiation research, funded by CNPQ in 2008, which investigated the production processes of subjectivity on the Internet, particularly in Orkut cyberspace, which at the time, had carried out studies in the processes of contemporary subjectivity. Thus, from the notion of ethics and morality proposed by Gilles Deleuze, it sought to map Orkut community experiences in socializing and/or opinions involving the use of psychoactive drugs and to study how these people live through their experiences. The research focus is based on analysing how these experiences which involved altered states of consciousness were reported, and how the connection between morality and ethics are delineated. For this, one uses the mapping method to evaluate the procedural dimension of subjectivity and its production process.
