A literatura de autoria feminina nas sociedades pós-coloniais é considerada por Gayatri C. Spivak um processo metonímico da saga das mulheres usado como ferramenta de denúncia, que possibilita a quebra de mitos e preconceitos há muito reforçados pelo discurso patriarcal. Dentre as mulheres que encontraram sua voz e se fizeram ouvir, deixando de ser consideradas apenas informantes nativas das histórias orais de sua cultura, merecem destaque as cabo-verdianas Dina Salústio, Vera Duarte, Fátima Bettencourt, Orlanda Amarílis e Dulce Almada Duarte, e as moçambicanas Paulina Chiziane e Lília Momplé. O objetivo desta tese é investigar nos romances A Louca de Serrano e O alegre canto da perdiz, de Dina Salústio e Paulina Chiziane, respectivamente, como se constrói a temática da loucura, representada pelas mulheres africanas (e personagens) Louca de Serrano e Maria das Dores (louca do rio), que pode ser compreendida como uma voz carregada de solidão, dor, negação, rebeldia e inconformismo e como marca de resistência à marginalização feminina nas e pelas práticas sociais hegemônicas. / The female literature in the post-colonial societies is considered by Gayatri C. Spivak as a process of metonymic saga of women used as a complain instrument, which allows the myths and the prejudices failure a long time reinforced by the patriarchal discourse. Among the women who found her voice and spoke up, no longer considered as only native informants of oral histories of their culture deserve mention the Cape Verdean Dina Salústio, Vera Duarte, Fátima Bettencourt, Orlanda Amarilis and Dulce Almada Duarte, and the Mozambican Paulina Chiziane and Lilia Momplé. The objective of this work is to investigate in the Dina Salústios and Paulina Chizianes novels A Louca de Serrano and O alegre canto da perdiz, respectively, how the insanity theme is built, represented by the african women (and characters) Louca de Serrano and Maria das Dores, which can be understood as a voice full of loneliness, pain, denial, rebelliousness and nonconformism and as a resistance mark to the women marginalization into and by the hegemonic social practices.

As ocorrências analisadas são do ano de 1992, época em que foi aprovada a lei Antimanicomial, que propõe a remodelação da assistência ao paciente psiquiátrico. Parte-se do pressuposto de que a doença mental, além de ser um fenômeno de ordem psíquica, constitui-se numa problemática cultural e discursiva. Por isso, o conceito de loucura foi concebido e modificou-se através dos tempos, adquirindo um novo estatuto com a aprovação da lei da reforma psiquiátrica, cujo sentido é também construído através do discurso jornalístico. Objetiva-se reconhecer, em um corpus constituído por 33 textos jornalísticos, as fontes que enunciam acerca do doente mental e qual o discurso acerca deste, ou seja, quais fontes se legitimam e se impõem em detrimento de outras que são silenciadas. O estudo das fontes é importante porque estas são parte do processo de produção da notícia e estão articuladas aos critérios de noticiabilidade. O jornal Zero Hora é estudado porque, como exemplar da grande mídia, intermedeia os vários campos sociais e (re)apresenta um discurso que constrói sentidos sobre a realidade e, conseqüentemente, sobre a loucura. / This study analyzes the coverage in the newspaper Zero Hora (state of Rio Grande do Sul) regarding the deinstitutionalization of insanity, also referred to as psychiatric reform at the Hospital Psiquiátrico São Pedro (São Pedro Psychiatric Hospital). The analyzed texts date from 1992, period of the approval of the Anti-asylum Law which proposed a reform of assistance to psychiatric patients. The study works from the assumption that mental illness, besides being a psychic phenomenon, is also a cultural and discursive problem. For this reason, the concept of insanity was conceived and has been modified over time, acquiring new meaning with the approval of the psychiatric reform law, whose meaning is itself constructed through journalistic discourse. The aim is to analyze a corpus of 33 journalistic texts in order to determine the sources that speak about mental illness and to identify the discourse on the topic: which sources are legitimated and recognized at the expense of others that are silenced. This study is important because the sources are part of the process of news production and are linked to criteria of newsworthiness. Zero Hora is studied because it is an example of large media, interconnects different social fields and (re)presents a discourse that constructs meanings about reality and therefore about insanity.

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

O cuidado em liberdade de pessoas cumprindo medida de segurança no contexto de um CAPS III, tema do presente trabalho, inscreve-se num ponto de tensão entre as concepções da Reforma Psiquiátrica brasileira e as questões pertinentes às pessoas em conflito com a lei. O tema não tem acúmulo de conhecimentos, conforme evidenciado pela pesquisa bibliográfica. Este estudo demonstra como um sujeito cumprindo medida de segurança é acompanhado num serviço comunitário de saúde mental e sustenta a argumentação do direito ao cuidado em liberdade. Os objetivos são: conhecer como um CAPS III da Cidade de São Paulo se organiza para cuidar de uma pessoa cumprindo medida de segurança e quais os efeitos do cuidado para a vida dessa pessoa. Trata-se de uma pesquisa qualitativa que utiliza o Estudo de Caso como procedimento metodológico para a apreensão e compreensão dos dados empíricos. O marco teórico que norteia este estudo é a desinstitucionalização como estratégia de produção de direitos. São 13 (treze) os sujeitos do estudo entrevistados utilizando-se a entrevista semi-estruturada. O material empírico submetido à análise temática resultou nas categorias empíricas: 1) Narrativa da história de vida do Emanuel; 2) Processos de Trabalho em Saúde Mental; 3) Dispositivo para o cuidado em liberdade: o CAPS; 4) A Necessária Formação do Trabalhador da Saúde Mental. Resultados: na análise temática dos discursos foram identificados o objeto complexo do cuidado e suas necessidades, os agentes dos distintos processos de trabalho, os instrumentos e as finalidades destes processos de trabalho, ou o objeto transformado, isto é, um sujeito atravessado, tocado e interferido pelo cuidado. O CAPS é o lócus onde os processos de trabalho se organizam para dar conta das necessidades do objeto de cuidado, utilizando como instrumentos de intervenção: escuta, afeto, grupos, pintura, atendimentos individuais, equipe de referência, conhecimentos técnicos, projeto terapêutico singular e o projeto de geração de trabalho e renda na perspectiva da Economia Solidária. Aspectos positivos e negativos do processo de trabalho aparecem nos discursos, que revelam como os sujeitos entendem o CAPS, a constituição do projeto institucional do serviço, como o avaliam, a ações intersetoriais que o caso demandou e as questões da interface com a Justiça. Identificou-se nos discursos dos agentes dos processos de trabalho a necessidade de formação para a prática cotidiana do cuidado e preocupação com a questão da violência: como intervir e como prevenir. As informações específicas das pessoas em conflito com a lei também são abordadas no discurso dos entrevistados que evidenciam grande lacuna nesta área. Depreende-se dos discursos que a construção do Projeto Terapêutico Singular neste serviço pauta-se na construção de estratégias que visam responder às necessidades das pessoas, conforme as diretrizes das políticas públicas de saúde mental e da Reforma Psiquiátrica brasileira. As pessoas em conflito com a lei apresentam uma necessidade que é específica, particular, de agenciamento de possibilidade de defesa. Outros sujeitos podem demandar outras necessidades e os serviços, para serem efetivos, têm que atender todo mundo: têm que saber agenciar recursos para quem chega. / The care of people after a pleading insanity is made in freedom and can be done in a Mental Health Center (CAPS III), that is the theme of this master, and its a tension point at the conceptions of the brazilian Psychiatric Reform and people who have conflicts with the law. Theres no enough and significant accumulation of knowledge about this theme as the bibliography shows. This study can be used to make understandable as a person after the plea of insanity is followed in a treatment system in a community service of mental health. The goals: to know how a Mental Health Center of the city of São Paulo is organized to take care of people after a plea of insanity and what are the effects for this person. Its a qualitative study that uses the Study of Case as methodological procedure for the apprehension and understanding of the empirical data. The theoretical reference that guides this study was the deinstitutionalization as strategy for the production of rights. The 13 (thirteen) people of the study were interviewed, using a interview semi-structured. The empirical material after thematic analyzes showed: 1) Narrative of Emanuels life story; 2) work processes in mental health 3) A service for the treatment in freedom: the CAPS; 4) The necessary graduation of the worker in Mental Health. Results: In the Thematic Analyzes of the speech were identified: the complex object of care and its needs, the agents of the distinct processes of work, the instruments and its purposes of work processes: a person crossed, touched and interfered for the care. The CAPS is the setting where the work processes are organized to give support of the needs of this work object, and it uses instruments for intervention: as the listening, affection, groups, painting, individual consults, reference team, technic knowledge, Individual Therapeutic Projects and a project to generate employment and income in view of the Solidarity Economy. Positive and negatives aspects of the work process are also found in the speeches, what also shows that the people understand the CAPS, and the law of the institutional design of the service, such as assessing, the intersectoral actions demanded that are issues of interface with the justice. Were found in the speeches of the CAPS employees the need of studying to the daily practices of care and the concern with the violence matter: how the make an intervention and prevention. The specific information of people in debit with law are given also in the speeches of people that reveal a big gap in this area. People in conflict with the law have a need that is specific, particular, the possibility of defense. Other people can demand other needs and the services, for been effective, have to attend everybody: they need to be able to give resources for those arriving.

Analyzing the crimes of women murderers and how they fared in the criminal justice system demonstrates that though perceptions of gender evolved, resistance to sentencing women to death often persisted. The nature of homicides committed by women in Oregon set them apart from their male counterparts. Women were, and are, more likely to commit domestic homicides -- murders that involve a family member or partner. These crimes are typically not equated with crimes that warrant capital punishment. As a result, no woman has been subjected to the death penalty in the state. This thesis analyzes the twenty-five women who were convicted of homicide in Oregon between 1854 and 1950. During these years the majority faced all-male court and penal systems. As such, they were handled differently in accordance with various social, cultural, and legislative shifts relating to women's roles as citizens. Through an examination of contemporary newspaper articles, inmate case files, and other Oregon State Penitentiary records, this thesis studies three distinct periods relating to these shifts: 1854-1900, 1901-1935 and 1936-1950. The assumption that it was impossible for a woman to commit murder linked claims of insanity with criminality. The six women defendants between 1854 and 1900 were either deemed insane and transferred to the asylum or quickly released from prison to avoid potential controversy or additional expense. The twelve women convicted of homicide between 1901 and 1935 all received manslaughter convictions, an occurrence unique to this era. Following the Progressive Era, sentimental juries felt more comfortable convicting women of manslaughter. Many received indeterminate sentences of one to fifteen years and were released on parole. The initial first-degree murder charges between 1936 and 1950 signaled a new period in the treatment of women charged with homicide. After gaining the right to vote and serve on juries, women began to be viewed more equally in the eyes of the law. During these years there was a more even distribution of manslaughter, second-degree murder, and first-degree murder convictions for the seven women defendants. This is due in part to women's growing presence in the public sphere. In conclusion, the idea that women were submissive creatures that required the authority and protection of men in the courtroom began to fade by 1950. Each period of study demonstrates how the contemporary perception of women and their roles as citizens affected trial outcomes. However, even when women were charged with first-degree murder they were not sentenced to the death penalty -- likely due to the domestic nature of their crimes.

Orientador: Jean Marcel Carvalho França / Banca: José Carlos Barreiro / Banca: Ricardo Alexandre Ferreira / Resumo: A abdicação de D. Pedro I, em 7 de abril de 1831, trouxe para a sociedade que se julgava emancipada da tutela metropolitana a necessidade de inserir o Brasil no quadro das nações que se apresentavam como portadoras de uma civilização, era preciso que os homens livres do império tanto se reconhecessem quanto se fizessem reconhecer como membros de uma comunidade - "o mundo civilizado" - o qual era animado, então, pelo ideal de progresso. Coube a uma emergente elite política nacional constituída por fazendeiros, comerciantes, médicos, juristas, entre outros, que, nesse momento, assumiam o controle do país, formular as propostas norteadoras do processo de organização governamental do Brasil, por meio de um projeto civilizacional e de normalização social. O Rio de Janeiro ocupou uma posição de destaque nesse processo, devido ao seu status de capital e centro econômico do império, contudo, o rápido crescimento urbano e populacional à que essa cidade assistia, cedo, trouxe problemas relativos ao aumento da criminalidade, da vadiagem, da agitação política, em suma, à desordem das ruas. Tornou-se, então, imperioso para a administração local criar os meios aptos para controlar essa tal desordem, ou mesmo, se preciso fosse, para reprimi-la. Dentre os indivíduos propagadores dessa desordem, estavam os loucos criminosos, estes criariam um conflito de competências entre dois aparelhos de poder e de organização social, o aparelho médico e o jurídico. No seu afã de higienizar e moralizar a sociedade, adequando-a ao projeto civilizacional ao qual nos referimos, os médicos alienistas travariam uma batalha com os juristas pela preponderância e validação de seu saber no processo de punição dos insanos que cometessem crimes. A pesquisa que ora propomos objetiva avaliar o processo histórico...

It was necessary that free men from the empire were recognized and made recognized as members of a community - "the civilized world" -, which was very encouraged by the ideal of progress. An emerging Brazilian policy elite that included farmers, dealers, doctors, jurists, among others, who in that moment were assuming the country's control, was responsible for creating conductive proposals of Brazil's governmental organization process by means of a civilization project and social normalization. Rio de Janeiro occupied a great position in this process, due to its capital and empire's business centre status. However, the fast urban and population growing that this city was seeing soon brought issues associated with crimes, vagrancy, and political conflict increase, i.e., the streets riot. Therefore, it became imperious for local administration to create the proper means to control this riot, or even if it was needed, to repress it. Among the ones who diffused this riot, the criminal ones were included, who would create a conflict of competences between two ranges of power and social organization, the medical and juridical range. Aiming at cleaning and moralizing society, adjusting it to the already mentioned civilization project, alienist physicians were starting a battle with jurists to acquire preponderancy and validation of its knowledge in the insanes' punition process who committed crimes. The present research aims at evaluating the historical process that made such physicians become indispensable characters in the operation of the judiciary machine, by means of its investigation activity, and comprehending how a competences conflict between...

This thesis compares criminal defences of insanity and idiocy between 1660 and 1830 in northern England and southern Scotland, regions which have been neglected by the historiographies of British crime and "insanity defences". It is explained how and why English and Scottish theoretical principles differed or converged. In practice, however, courtroom participants could obtain to alternative conceptions of accountability and mental distraction. Quantitative and qualitative analyses are employed to reveal contemporary conceptions of mental afflictions and criminal responsibility, which provide inverse reflections of "normal" behaviour, speech and appearance. It is argued that the judiciary did not dictate the evaluation of prisoners' mental capacities at the circuit courts, as some historians have contended. Legal processes were determined by subtle, yet complex, interactions between "decision-makers". Jurors could reach conclusions independent from judicial coercion. Before 1830, verdicts of insanity could represent discord between bench and jury, rather than the concord emphasised by some scholars. The activities of counsel, testifiers and prisoners also impinged upon the assessment of a prisoner's mental condition and restricted the bench's dominance. Despite important evidentiary evolutions, the courtroom authentication of insanity and idiocy was not dominated by Britain's evolving medical professions (including "psychiatrists") before 1830. Lay, communal understandings of mental afflictions and criminal responsibility continued to inform and underpin the assessment of a prisoner's mental condition. Such decisions were affected by social dynamics, such as the social and economic status, gender, age and legal experience of key courtroom participants. Verdicts of insanity and the development of Britain's legal practices could both be shaped by micro- and macro-political considerations. This thesis opens new avenues of research for British "insanity defences", whilst offering comparisons to contemporary Continental legal procedures.
