My dissertation focuses on literary and photographic representations of female madness as a means of exposing the material violence that notions of normality and of national identity produced in Italian society during the fin-de-siècle. Although many studies explore the exclusion of minorities in the project of nation-making, the mentally ill have rarely been discussed. Those studies that focus on literary representations of madness usually treat it as a metaphor or literary expedient and leave unexplored the material violence that psychiatric institutions inflicted on the mentally ill body. I aim to connect cultural realities and their representations, exploring the ways in which psychiatric and state power constructed and used the mentally ill body in the quest to create national identity. This quest was rooted in the widespread image of Italians as effeminate southerners from a backward, pre-modern part of Europe, an image that led to a crisis of masculinity. In my study I consider the crisis of masculinity vis-à-vis practices of asexualization of the body conducted inside the asylum. Through a parallel analysis of psychiatric photography and literary representations of female madness in Giovanni Verga, Luigi Capuana, Gabriele D'Annunzio, and Futurist avant-garde writers, my study shows how these practices actively contributed to social constructions of madness. Chapter I is an introduction to the development of modern psychiatry vis-à-vis the project of national identity formation in post-unification Italy. Chapter II analyzes first literary representations of female madness and psychiatric portraits of female patients to argue that the asexualization of patients' bodies was used to offer an ontological weight to national manhood. Chapter III explores the phenomenon of hysteria to show how the body of the hysterical woman functioned as apparatus used to produce normalization. Chapter IV examines how the futurist avant-garde overturned the madness apparatus at the beginning of the twentieth century. The conclusion I draw is that the mentally ill body functioned as an abjected or excluded other whose alterity was key to the construction of Italian identity.

Ie, the eyes of those who lived the experience of internment in psychiatric hospitals and prepared speeches on such spaces and relations involving them. This case the work Hospice is God (1965) Maura Cançado Lopes, daughter of wealthy, traditional family, which spontaneously admitted for the first time in 1949, in Belo Horizonte. Later he moved to Rio de Janeiro where he began publishing short stories in the Journal of the Brazil and was admitted or was admitted several times to psychiatric institutions. Maura lived a significant part of his life in mental hospitals, one of which wrote a diary in the form of the said work, which is the official bank of the literary standard. Hospice is God , as well as other forms of expression ' crazy ' (in speeches , images or texts ) offer varied possibilities for understanding the relationships established in the mental hospital , on own medical knowledge about life and especially these guys called crazy . The main objective of this dissertation is to understand the discursive battle built around the life of Maura and her book is God Hospice , which is part of the speech itself which it had built , but considering other sources (such as storybook The Sufferer 's View and some letters sent by Maura ) , to understand the speeches Maura perceived as testimony of an era, the experience of madness and hospitalization in a specialized area , considering the relations of gender and power , as well as the construction of subjectivities / Muito já se escreveu sobre loucura e sobre loucos. Muitos escritores criaram em suas obras, personagens que mergulharam no universo trágico do manicômio, mas se nestas narrativas tal experiência é percebida do lado de fora , nas narrativas escritas pelos próprios loucos pode-se ler uma versão da loucura por dentro . Ou seja, o olhar de quem viveu a experiência do internamento em hospitais psiquiátricos e elaborou discursos sobre tais espaços e as relações neles travadas. Este é o caso da obra Hospício é Deus (1965) de Maura Lopes Cançado, filha de família abastada e tradicional, que se internou espontaneamente pela primeira vez em 1949, em Belo Horizonte. Posteriormente, mudou-se para o Rio de Janeiro onde passou a publicar contos no Jornal do Brasil e internou-se ou foi internada, inúmeras vezes em instituições psiquiátricas. Maura viveu parte significativa de sua vida em manicômios, num dos quais escreveu em forma de um diário, a referida obra, que se encontra à margem do padrão literário oficial. Hospício é Deus, assim como as demais formas de expressão dos loucos (em falas, imagens ou textos), oferece variadas possibilidades para a compreensão das relações estabelecidas no manicômio, sobre o próprio saber médico e principalmente sobre a vida destes sujeitos chamados loucos . O objetivo principal desta dissertação é compreender a batalha discursiva construída em torno da vida de Maura e de seu livro Hospício é Deus, da qual faz parte o próprio discurso por ela construído, mas considerando outras fontes (como o livro de contos O Sofredor do Ver e algumas cartas enviadas por Maura), para a compreensão dos discursos de Maura percebidos como testemunho de uma época, da experiência da loucura e da internação em espaço especializado, considerando as relações de gênero e poder, bem como a construção de subjetividades
