This thesis presents minor images of compassion, in an ethical, political and aesthetic essay, in which the dialogue between the Buddhist concept of compassion (karuna), the texts of the poet and human rights activist, Deley de Acari, and my work as a psychologist, was the starting point.The thesis is developed as an essay, understood in the Foucaultian conception of essay, as an exercice de soi.Our field work consisted in going along with Deley de Acari, in his day-by-day and in his different insertions in the favela of Acari, Rio de Janeiro.The work unfolded in the encounter with two women, who were local residents, whose focus had become the issue of care and ethics in everyday life, inspired by the reflections of the Indian anthropologist Veena Das.To understand the context of human rights violations that permeates life in the city, especially at slums, we turn to Walter Benjamin's ideas on the state of exception; Michel Foucault, on biopower; and Giorgio Agamben, on bare life.Therefore, we understand these violations and destitutions not as unusual, but as constitutive of modernity and capitalism in its contemporary version.We reflect on the singularity of the social suffering involved in resistance to these daily violations and about the place of psychology in this context.We reflect also on how this engagement constitutes a permanent questioning about psi practices, ways of being and relating.The essay is also based on the writings of the feminist philosopher Judith Butler and the psychoanalyst Donald Winnicott, with respect to their reflections on vulnerability and precariousness, thought of as transitionality and interdependence.We hope to contribute, thereby, to the debate on psychological practices and the place of the psychologist in the margins of the city, in situations of social suffering and precarious living conditions
