TAVARES, Arthur Daibert Machado; MELICIO, Thiago Benedito Livramento; WENDLING, Michelle Menezes  and  TSALLIS, Alexandra Cleopatre. To Rave Reality: Toward an Anti-asylum Writing. Estud. pesqui. psicol. [online]. 2021, vol.21, n.2, pp. 653-673. ISSN 1808-4281.  http://dx.doi.org/10.12957/epp.2021.61062.

Visiting texts by Antonin Artaud, Lima Barreto, Maura Lopes Cançado and Rodrigo de Souza Leão about the psychiatric hospitalization, this article addresses the relationship between body, writing and politics around the logic of the asylum and its dissidences. In order to propose, with the mad, possible resistance tactics to psychiatric judgment, the research methodology used is psychosocial cartography, coupled with an analysis of power relations. We begin by investigating the historical transformation in the discursive separation between reason and madness, and how it affected the literary field. We then go through how the asylum creates, with discipline and its writing practice, hierarchical and homogenizing relations that have the effect of individualizing the body. At the end, we elaborate how poetic language and fictional creation can work, combined with the collective and revolutionary role of literature, as powerful anti-asylum resistance strategies in an invitation to rethink our written productions.

Keywords : madness; literature; asylum; resistance.
