This research tries to understand the representation and differentiating factors wrought to medical discourse and criminologist about practise and homosexual body, classifying them, indicating standards of conduct and deny them of a freedom in their sexual lives. The medical and criminal sources checked can be found in the public archives of State. They are patients records, some cases od hospital admission in Pinel Sanatorium. They were researched in detailed way and revealed the expressions and contexts of that time, however still introduce continuity contemporaneity. The criminal law came from european theory circulated and inspered the brazilians interpretations in this period of time. In spotlight we have some interpretations done by Cesar and Lombroso about fhysical of the criminal person. In 1920, from that date increased in relevance thelegal medicine. The change of the focus in order to achieve the notion of homeland cleaning emphasizing the privilege in a pedagogical behaviour into their citizens. The homosexuality was faced as deviating in your biological and ethical aspects. Without to highlight the religian speech which controled and effected several questions of moral order. Representing the homosexuality as a grave sin of sodomia. The new context increased the interpretations came up with professionals of the medicine that started up to find explanations to the homosexuality, a behaviour considered deviating, abnormal, degrading in social meaning, following this conceptions; the homosexuality was disease, consequently looked for treatments aiming the heal. Primarily, they prioritized the biological causes before of disease to be discussed what the more efficient treatment to heal the homosexuals. Some of this could besince confinament to reeducation or push the carater as issue to being sort out. (Pinel was a institution among others with the only aim is heal this kind of disease). Including injections of insulin, electrical shockes / Tendo como foco central de análise casos de homossexuais internados no Pinel (Pirituba/SP) sob o diagnóstico de inversão sexual nos anos de 1920 a 1940, esta pesquisa busca compreender as representações e diferenciações forjadas pelos discursos médico e criminologista sobre a prática e o corpo do homossexual, classificando-o, indicando condutas de normatização e privando-o de uma vida sexual livre. As fontes médicas e criminais consultadas encontram-se no Arquivo Público do Estado de São Paulo, são os prontuários de casos de internação do Sanatório Pinel, que, estudados de forma detalhada, revelam as expressões e contextos de uma época, embora ainda se apresentem permanências na contemporaneidade. As teorias europeias do direito criminal circulavam e inspiravam as interpretações brasileiras do período, com destaque para Cesare Lombroso, com suas explicações sobre o físico do indivíduo criminoso. A partir dos anos 1920, cresceu em importância a medicina legal, mudando o foco com vistas a alcançar a noção de higienização da pátria, privilegiando um comportamento pedagógico em relação aos cidadãos. A homossexualidade foi encarada como desviante em seus aspectos morais e biológicos. Sem descartar o discurso religioso, que controlava e influenciava as questões de ordem moral, representando a homossexualidade como pecado grave de sodomia. No novo contexto, cresceram as interpretações dos profissionais da medicina, que passavam a buscar explicações para a homossexualidade, um comportamento considerado desviante, anormal e degradante no sentido social. Desse modo, a homossexualidade foi identificada como doença e, como tal, buscavam-se tratamentos visando a cura. Priorizando as causas biologizantes da doença, discutia-se qual o tratamento mais eficaz para curar os homossexuais, desde o confinamento para a reeducação e moldagem do caráter (o Pinel foi uma das instituições existentes para esse fim), incluindo injeções de insulina, choques e aplicação de sucos de vários órgãos de animais

Through either medical records produced on that institution and writings from doctor Pacheco e Silva, the Sanatorium's founder and director, it is intended to track the profiles to be considered as rule deviants, problematising, thus, the patterns conceived for the women. These histories have been developed within the city of Sao Paulo; therefore it became necessary to elaborate a city panorama in its modernising perspective, highlighting its urbanization process and the intervention of medicine in the urban constitution. The city's modernising project is related to the institutionalisation of mental institutions, as well as the increasing presence of the medical speech, intending to a standardisation of behaviours both in the public and private space. Thus, there is the question to the social roles attributed to women, which concern their responsibility due to the family and the formation of future citizens, being their social function attached to biological/breeding aspects, outlining then the existing discourse concerning womanhood, wifehood attributions, motherhood attributions and to be a housewife as the natural fate to women, as opposed to the implemented restriction to other possibilities of female experiences, being these identified as deviant, abnormal and pathological / Esta pesquisa investiga a história de mulheres diagnosticadas como loucas e internadas no Sanatório Pinel de Pirituba entre 1929 e 1944. Por meio dos prontuários médicos produzidos naquela instituição e de alguns escritos do Doutor Pacheco e Silva, fundador e diretor do Sanatório, pretende-se rastrear os perfis considerados desviantes da norma, problematizando os padrões destinados às mulheres. O espaço em que se desenvolveram essas histórias foi São Paulo, por isso tornou-se necessário elaborar um panorama da cidade em sua perspectiva modernizadora, destacando seu processo de urbanização e a intervenção da medicina na constituição urbana. Relaciona-se o projeto modernizador da cidade com a institucionalização de clínicas psiquiátricas, bem como a ampliação da inserção do discurso médico, visando uma normatização de comportamentos, tanto no espaço público como no privado. Dessa forma, questionam-se os papéis conferidos às mulheres, enquanto responsáveis pela família e pela formação dos futuros cidadãos, atrelando sua função social à sua constituição biológica/ reprodutora, delineando os discursos existentes acerca da feminilidade, as funções de esposa, mãe e dona de casa como destino natural para as mulheres, em contraposição à restrição de outras possibilidades de experiências femininas identificadas como desviantes, anormais e patológicas

A cultura da loucura na cidade: o planejamento da velhice saudável e a esperança que falou (São Paulo, 1940/2005) / The culture of madness in the city: planning a healthy old age and the hope that spoke (São Paulo, 1940/2005)

Esta pesquisa buscou revalorizar a experiência de velhos e velhas internos dos hospitais Pinel e D. Pedro II na cidade de São Paulo a partir de narrativas orais dessas pessoas e levantamento de documentos escritos dos arquivos das instituições. O recuo temporal do conjunto das suas narrações permitiu traçar como recorte histórico o período que recobre os anos de 1940/2005. A recuperação de suas histórias de vida evidenciou a possibilidade de uma reflexão crítica sobre a condição social da velhice no tempo presente. A análise das práticas de construção política de sentimentos e memórias dentro desse campo de violências e arbitrariedades apontou uma cultura de resistências na busca de reversão de injunções cotidianamente impostas. A partir do que essas pessoas compreendem e observam do terreno de lutas e disputas sociais em que estão inseridas, a ideologia médica e as relações de poder são desocultadas e questionadas em alguns dos seus mecanismos burocráticos. O resgate de dimensões da prática política desses sujeitos históricos foi possível também pelas conquistas da História Oral no campo do conhecimento historiográfico. / This research has sought to revalue the experience of old people who are in the Pinel and D. Pedro II hospitals in São Paulo from their oral narratives and from information taken from written documents from the archives of these institutions. The journey back in time provided by their narratives allowed the period, covering the years 1940/2005, to be traced as a historical record. Recovering their lives\' histories provided evidence that it is possible to reflect critically on the social condition of old age in present day society. Analysis of the practices used for politically constructing feelings and memories within this field of violence and arbitrariness pointed to a culture of resistance in the search to reverse the injunctions that are daily imposed upon them. Based on what these people understand and observe of the social struggles and disputes in which they find themselves, some of the bureaucratic mechanisms of medical ideology and power relationships are unveiled and questioned. Rescuing the dimensions of the political practice of these historical individuals was also possible because of triumphs of Oral History in the field of histiographic knowledge.

A social, literary and musical study of Julie Pinel's 'Nouveau recueil d'airs serieux et a boire' (Paris, 1737) : a thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Music in Musicology, New Zealand School of Music

Brain, Corisha January 2008 (has links)
This thesis discusses the life and work of the eighteenth-century French composer, Julie Pinel. Pinel’s extant music comprises one collection of music, Nouveau recueil d’airs sérieux et à boire à une et deux voix, de Brunettes à 2 dessus, scène pastorale, et cantatille avec accompagnement, published in 1737, of which a critical edition has been produced in volume II of this thesis. There is little information regarding Pinel’s life and work, however, the preface and privilège included in her Nouveau recueil provide some clues as to Pinel’s biography. Her life and music are examined, with reference to the social, literary and musical environment she was working in. An added dimension is that Pinel was working as a professional musicienne at a time when women were beginning to find their voice and place in professional society. Pinel claims authorship of the majority of the poems in her collection, and the rest come from anonymous sources. Pinel’s literary and musical output illustrates her obvious knowledge of the current trends in eighteenth-century France, with most of her poetry written for a female poetic voice, displaying many of the fashionable themes of the day. Her music displays a variety of styles, ranging from simple airs in binary form, traditionally found in most French airs sérieux et à boire, to the operatic, and the fashionable rococo styles.

A primeira reforma psiquiátrica : uma história do tratamento moral

Ivy Daniella Souza de Sousa 10 April 2001 (has links)
A presente dissertação tem como objetivo descrever o Tratamento Moral desenvolvido por Philippe Pinel no período que se estende do final do século XVIII ao início do século XIX em Paris. Trata-se de um novo método de tratamento da loucura baseado na normatização e em uma atitude mais humana de cuidado com o louco. O asilo torna-se símbolo desse modelo, hegemônico por mais de um século. Neste estudo, pretendemos descrever o que foi o Tratamento Moral, quais os fundamentos deste método e, principalmente quais as mudanças que engendrou na prática do cuidado da loucura. Para tanto, faremos uma breve descrição do tipo de tratamento dado ao louco no período que antecede o surgimento do Tratamento Moral em Paris. Com o Tratamento Moral, nasce a Psiquiatria como especialidade médica, surgem o alienista e o alienado, o asilo transforma-se em local de cura da loucura e a relação médico-paciente da seus primeiros passos. A partir de uma análise bibliográfica de fontes primárias e secundárias buscamos oferecer aos interessados neste tema dados sobre as bases e as práticas do tratamento iniciado por Pinel, parte da história da psiquiatria e da loucura que são constituintes da realidade psiquiátrica atual.

L'Asile de Hanwell sous l'autorité de John Conolly : un modèle utopique dans l'histoire de la psychiatrie anglaise (1839-1852) ? / Hanwell Asylum under the authority of John Conolly : a utopian model in the history of English psychiatry (1839-1852)?

Dubois, Laurence 02 July 2016 (has links)
L’émergence de la psychiatrie comme discipline distincte de la médecine somatique, dans la première moitié du XIXe siècle, s’inscrit dans le cadre de la réforme de la législation sur les aliénés, qui conduit à la création de nouveaux asiles publics dédiés au traitement des malades mentaux en Angleterre, dont celui du Comté du Middlesex, à Hanwell, en 1831. L’Asile de Hanwell, situé près de Londres, est un asile pour aliénés indigents, qui fonctionne de manière complémentaire par rapport à des institutions telles que les workhouses – emblématiques de la nouvelle Loi sur les Pauvres de 1834 – dans la prise en charge d’individus qui sont dans l’incapacité de subvenir à leurs besoins. Sous la direction du docteur John Conolly (1794-1866), qui, dès sa nomination à la direction médicale de l’établissement en 1839, met en place une politique de non-restraint (abandon des moyens de contention mécaniques) à une échelle jusqu’alors inédite, l’Asile de Hanwell est explicitement conçu comme un outil dont la fonction première est thérapeutique, dénué de toute intention punitive. L’influence que cet établissement exercera sur les institutions similaires en Angleterre dès les années 1840 contribue à l’optimisme thérapeutique quant au traitement des aliénés qui prévaut alors, et l’asile victorien, en dépit de ses imperfections, se veut un authentique refuge et un lieu de soins. La conception thérapeutique du Dr Conolly s’inscrit dans la continuité du traitement moral défini par le médecin français Philippe Pinel, mais s’inspire également des expériences menées à La Retraite (York), ou à l’asile de Lincoln. Cette thérapie innovante a la particularité de mettre l’accent sur la qualité de l’environnement et du mode de vie des patients, ainsi que sur les distractions diverses qui leur sont proposées : jeux, fêtes de Noël, kermesses, lecture, musique, sport et danse. La logique de soins qui s’applique alors, le moral management, repose sur une thérapie d’occupation. L’originalité de ce traitement sur le plan médical s’accompagne d’une dimension sociale, voire politique. En effet, loin de limiter ses ambitions au strict domaine médical, le Dr Conolly, connu pour son engagement en faveur de l’éducation populaire au sein de la Society for the Diffusion of Useful Knowledge, tout autant que pour son soutien au mouvement chartiste, mène un combat permanent, de 1839 à 1852, pour que les patients, hommes et femmes, aient accès à une instruction au sein de l’école de l’Asile, dont la création et le maintien sont loin de faire l’unanimité. Conolly envisage l’éducation comme un élément central, qui va bien au-delà d’une simple distraction pour les malades et représente un véritable outil d’insertion sociale et d’émancipation des classes populaires. Il rejoint en cela une conception owéniste de l’éducation, et l’école de l’Asile de Hanwell copie quasiment trait pour trait l’école de New Lanark telle qu’elle se présentait au début du XIXe siècle. Robert Owen (1771-1858) rend d’ailleurs visite à John Conolly dès sa nomination, au printemps 1839. Étudier l’expérience menée dans cet établissement emblématique sous l’autorité de John Conolly – non sans lien avec les expériences sociales menées par les owénistes – et l’influence que cette expérience a pu avoir par la suite dans le paysage psychiatrique victorien, permet d’analyser le non-restraint dans sa dimension thérapeutique, sociale et politique. L’Asile de Hanwell sera pendant près de trente ans une référence dans le traitement des aliénés, et servira de modèle à bon nombre d’institutions, particulièrement en Angleterre. L’influence de Hanwell s’estompera dans les années 1870, qui verront l’émergence de théories de l’hérédité peu compatibles avec le traitement moral. / The emergence of psychiatry as a separate discipline from general medicine, in the first half of the nineteenth century, was linked to the Lunacy Reform movement (County Asylums Acts) that led to the creation of new public asylums dedicated to the treatment of the mentally ill in England. The Middlesex County Asylum in Hanwell, built in 1831, was one of them. Hanwell Asylum, situated in the western suburbs of London, was a pauper lunatic asylum that operated as a complementary institution to the numerous workhouses – symbols of the New Poor Law of 1834 – taking care of people who were deemed unable to take care of themselves. As soon as he was appointed medical superintendent of the institution, in 1839, Dr John Conolly (1794-1866) implemented a whole new policy of non-restraint, applied on an unprecedented scale, and Hanwell Asylum under his leadership was explicitly and primarily intended to be a therapeutic tool, devoid of any punitive purpose. The influence of Hanwell on similar institutions, from the1840s onwards, contributed to the prevailing therapeutic optimism of the time, and Victorian asylums, despite their defects, were meant to be genuine places of refuge and care. Dr Conolly’s therapeutic methods were coherent with “moral treatment” as defined by French doctor Philippe Pinel, but were also based on previous experiences conducted at the York Retreat or Lincoln Asylum. One of the main features of this pioneering treatment was the special emphasis it placed on the high quality of the patients’ environment and way of life, as well as on the wide range of entertainment offered to them: games, Christmas parties, summer fêtes, reading sessions, music, sport and dancing. The approach favoured in terms of health care, a “moral management” approach, was grounded on the principles of occupational therapy. The originality of this treatment from a medical point of view was reinforced by its social and, indeed, political dimension. From 1839 to 1852, far from limiting his ambitions to a strictly medical field, Dr Conolly – well-known for his commitment to the cause of popular education, as a member of the Society for the Diffusion of Useful Knowledge, as well as for his support of the Chartist movement – actually kept on fighting for the right of male and female patients alike to receive proper instruction within the asylum school, which remained highly controversial and constantly threatened with closure. Conolly viewed education as a central element, going far beyond a mere distraction for the insane and truly constituting a tool for social insertion and a means of emancipation for the lower classes. His views on education were similar to the Owenite conception of education and the asylum school at Hanwell was a faithful replica of the New Lanark School at the beginning of the nineteenth century. Besides, Robert Owen (1771-1858) came to Hanwell Asylum and visited John Conolly soon after he was appointed superintendent there, during the spring of 1839. Studying the case of this emblematic institution and the experience carried out within its premises under John Conolly’s authority – an experience which may not be unrelated to Owenite social experimentation – and analysing the impact this experience may have had within the Victorian psychiatric landscape in the years that followed, is an invaluable way of understanding the non-restraint movement through its various dimensions: therapeutic, social and political. For nearly thirty years, Hanwell Asylum remained a benchmark in the treatment of the insane, and served as a model for many other institutions, particularly in England. Its influence began receding in the 1870s, with the emergence of theories of heredity that were hardly compatible with the tenets of moral management.
