Abstract
The article aims to explore the influence of health work in subjectification processes. The notion of history commonly used in health-related scientific output is based on an evolutionist and developmental logic. As a counterpoint, the genealogical approach used in this article and based on Michel Foucault highlights the notions of discontinuity, event, and the production of truth as tools to rethink the ethical and political implications involved in the production of knowledge, practices, and subjects. To illustrate these aspects we sketch a health work genealogy, specifically in the field of mental health and HIV/AIDS work.

Muitos autores 1,2,3 diferenciam, na perspectiva de Foucault, dois métodos distintos, uma “arqueologia do saber” e uma “genealogia do poder”, os quais teriam diferentes formas e objetos de análise

Summary
Muitos autores 1,2,3 diferenciam, na perspectiva de Foucault, dois métodos distintos, uma “arqueologia do saber” e uma “genealogia do poder”, os quais teriam diferentes formas e objetos de análise. Assim podemos pensar que a genealogia estuda como se constroem as possibilidades de emergência dos discursos/saberes (no caso aqui estudado da AIDS e da saúde mental) em determinados jogos de dominação e resistência, que configuram a legitimidade da verdade para cada período.
