GIMBO, Leda Mendes Pinheiro; DIMENSTEIN, Magda Diniz Bezerra  and  LEITE, Jáder Ferreira. The asylum in cariri cearense: arquegenealogical analysis of its opening and closing. Rev. Subj. [online]. 2019, vol.19, n.1, pp.115-128. ISSN 2359-0769.  https://doi.org/10.5020/23590777.rs.v19i1.e6587.

This article aims to analyze the discursive and non - discursive formations that allowed the opening of a psychiatric hospital in the Cariri region of Ceará between 1970 and 2016. It proposes the use of the Foucaultian concepts of archeology and genealogy as a method and strategy of analysis. The research hypothesis defended is that the opening of this hospital is part of a wide process of installation of psychiatric hospitals in Brazil, and points to the hospitalization as a massive logic of intervention in Mental Health in Brazil, which, although segregationist and excluding, has remained until the late 1980s.

Keywords : archeology; genealogy; mental health; psychiatric hospital.
