Abstract
The article addresses the need to renew and expand the meaning attributed to critique within the field of social work. It argues that it is imperative to broaden the interpretations of critique in the evolution of social work to embrace alternative ways of understanding the critical, aiming to elevate the poetic dimension of human dwelling in the world. The article asserts that critique, when it evolves into a poetic form, enables a deeper understanding of the subjects' experiences, addressing aspects that transcend the rigor of method and concept. In this sense, the role of social work is questioned in relation to the complexities inherent in contemporary society.
