Governamentalizando a liberdade e o gênero: pequenas notas genealógicas sobre a reforma psiquiátrica brasileira no seu cotidiano
Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: The initial objective of this article is to use the concept of governmentality to understand the modes of management present in psychiatric practices, especially those present in Brazilian Psychiatric Reform devices such as the Psychosocial Care Centers (CAPS). This analysis will be carried out by examining medical records which record the daily ways in which cases are managed within the CAPS. Considering the possible existence of different modes of governmentality, we will discuss their meanings, pointing to very unique forms of management modulated according to gender divisions. From this point on, we will highlight how gender divisions have been objects of intervention and guidance in the modes of government by psy practices throughout history. Finally, we will conclude with a discussion of the devices of sexuality in a unique way based on the issues raised by the research.
