VALENTIM, Renata Patricia Forain de; MARTINS, Letícia Palmeira; MARTINS, Mariah da Silva  and  FREITAS, Tamires Rejane Moreira. The women of the alienated volony of engenho de dentro. Psicol. pesq. [online]. 2019, vol.13, n.2, pp. 42-60. ISSN 1982-1247.  http://dx.doi.org/10.34019/1982-1247.2019.v13.23786.

This work investigated the transfer of 334 destitute women from Esquirol's section, wing of the National Hospice of Alienated, to the Alienated Colony of Engenho de Dentro. The hypothesis is that the creation of the colony in 1911 was the ratification of a treatment policy that extrapolated psychiatric knowledge and brought together diverse themes and discourses, such as femininity, republicanism, work and poverty. In the analysis of this field, throught the bakhtinian concept of dialogue, it is hoped to understand the participation of psychiatric ideals in the formulations that marked the understanding about poor woman during the first republic and to insert the appearance of these ideas in the set of instruments of social regulation that needed to be reconstructed.

Keywords : History of psychology; Women's history; Esquirol section; Colony of alienated from Engenho de Dentro; Dialogism.
