We have theme biomedical practices (hegemonic) and Integrative and Complementary Practices in Health (non-hegemonic), which are present in the context of the Unified Brazilian Health. The aim is to reflect on tensions between biomedical practices and this set of non-hegemonic practices that emerge culturally and in health, from the analytical lens of cultural studies. As a methodological course, a brief presentation of the subject was carried out and, later, a theoretical conversation with poststructuralist authors that approach the themes in question from aspects of culture, with the use of qualitative exploratory research. This study reinforced the importance of thinking about the health of production as something created, built in each time/place/context and the importance of thinking that even if theoretical models seek delimitations, what we find as health care are practices blurred, or cultural consumption health is amorphous and their meanings are built by those who consume.Downloads
