Abstract

This article intends to establish a dialogue with the article “Resilience and homelessness: a study on homeless - adults and child - in the city of São Paulo” by means of reflections deriving from it. The article relates the themes of resilience and homelessness to the current neo-liberal model in Brazil and to the process of social exclusion resulting from it. Some conceptions of
resilience are discussed so as to demonstrate that there is no consensus about the issue. The life of the homeless is analysed based on the interplay between the concepts of identity, ontological insecurity, existential non-confirmation and fixed point as a lever to resilience: love interactions as the basis for existence and affirmation of the self.
