Mulheres, corpo encantado e loucura: narrativas antimanicomiais e poéticas de resistência

Abstract

The research that I have focused on here is the result of a series of memories, experiences, exchanges and observations of my daily relationships, life and practices as a psychology professional in social assistance policy, in peripheral communities located in a city in the interior. from the Alagoas countryside. The text was built from the relationship between women, mental health and their poetics of resistance, through oral and written narratives. For you to know here the motivations that brought me to this study, instead of general and specific objectives, we chose to express a question that moves this research and made us walk to the crossroads of ideas that were produced: What are the effects produced by the conjuration of memories and narratives of subaltern women in the production of knowledge, in care practices, guarantee of rights in the fields of social assistance and mental health? Faced with so many concerns that emerged between wanderings and meetings, we intend to reflect and discuss narratives of women from the Alagoas countryside, about the relationship between body, madness and medicalization of the female body and present aspects and experiences lived in the local psychosocial care network; Finally, we seek to understand how these narratives meet with stories present in literary works, of women who lived the experience of psychiatric hospitalization, from their anti-asylum poetics of resistance and life policies.
