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

This thesis is an investigation of Middle English insanity language. It analyses change in the Middle English lexical field of INSANITY, the semantic structure of lexemes wod and mad, and compares INSANITY conceptual metaphors in Middle English and present-day English. The INSANITY lexical field is an ideal one to study language change, due to socio-cultural changes since the Middle Ages such as advances in medical knowledge, the development of the field of psychiatry and legal changes protecting people with a mental illness from discrimination. The general theoretical aims were to examine a) change in conceptual metaphor, and b) semantic and lexical change with a particular focus on the decline in use of adjective wod. The theoretical frameworks are cognitive linguistics, prototype theory, and conceptual metaphor theory, and the data is derived from Middle English corpora and other sources. The INSANITY database I created for this study consisted of 1307 instances of mad, wod and near-synonyms in context. The main results can be divided into three groups. Firstly, the lexical field study demonstrates that various intra-linguistic and socio-cultural phenomena effect lexical change. Using case studies amongst others of the decline of wod in the Wycliffite Bible and of Caxton's translations from French, and a systematic variation across genre, I argue that the important factors are i) the arrival of new medical loanwords such as frensy, lunatic and malencolie; ii) the early re-emergence of the vernacular in medical texts starting in the twelfth century, and the development of a new medical register; iii) the so-called medieval 'inward turn'; iv) changes in the neighbouring lexical field of ANGER. Secondly, the semasiological study of wod and mad shows that the meanings of these two lexemes are structured and change in line with the central tenets of prototype theory, i.e. as described for diachronic prototype semantics by Geeraerts (1997). The path of mad's semantic development does not parallel that of wod after the thirteenth century. Mad's senses do not have the emphasis on wildness and fury that the senses of wod do. A particularly interesting finding is the semantic change from a sub-sense of adverb mad and adjective mad, 'unrestrained', leading in present-day English to a new delexicalised and grammaticalised sense of mad, where its use as an intensifier enhances scalar quantity and quality. Thirdly, the conceptual metaphor study demonstrates that predominantly the same conceptual metaphors are seen in both Middle English and present-day English, with some exceptions such as the concept of insanity being related to moral decline, as evidenced in the dearth of FALLING metaphors for insanity in present-day English. Conceptual metaphors such as INSANITY IS ANOTHER PLACE are evidenced in present-day English expressions such as out of her senses, or not in my right mind. In 1422, Thomas Hoccleve could write of a dysseveraunce between himself and his wit, or about his wyld infirmitie, which threw him owt of my selfe, illustrating the same underlying concepts. Other INSANITY conceptual metaphors which remain unchanged are GOING ASTRAY, LACK OF ORDER, LACK OF WHOLENESS, DARKNESS, FORCE, PRISON and BURDEN. Because of its unique approach in combining onomasiological and semasiological approaches with a conceptual metaphor study, this study reveals not only specific patterns of change, but differences in the rate of change on the lexical and conceptual levels. Lexical change driven by the need to be expressive, and reflecting socio-cultural changes such as changes in medical knowledge, can be seen to happen rapidly over the Middle English period. However, underlying conceptual change is barely discernible even over a much longer period of time from Middle English to present-day English. This research is significant because it provides a basis for future analysis of insanity language in other periods and contexts. It also contributes to the study of semantic change in general, highlighting the insights that can be gained by combining different types of data-driven analyses.

This thesis examines the uses and implications of historical and self-imposed asylums in several of Samuel Beckett's works, most notably Murphy, Malone Dies, and "First Love." The first half of this study compares several historical Irish and British asylums to Beckett's frictional institutions in order to illuminate the recurring motifs of sanity, asylums as retreats for the wealthy, and the links between prisons and asylums. I also examine Michel Foucault's theory of the Panopticon guards as an alternate reading of Beckett's views on sanity. In Murphy and Malone Dies, for example, Beckett questions what it means to be sane through his role reversals of nurses and patients. His often under qualified and sadistic nurses are depicted as the real lunatics while their patients seem quite sane in comparison. In the second portion of this study, I suggest that the self-imposed asylums in Murphy and "First Love" are in fact the protagonists' attempts at both erasing society and becoming physically invisible. Through and extended analysis of each text, I explore the various "cells" created by each hero as well as their social implications. By ostracizing themselves, for instance, I argue that the protagonists of Murphy and "First Love" gain a form of power that the protagonists of Molly and Malone Dies lack. Murphy's and "First Love"'s demands for "imprisonment" under their own terms once again reverse the roles of helpless patient and powerful nurse.

La notion d’altérité circule avec insistance dans la conscience collective contemporaine, mais, à ma connaissance, il n’y a pas d’ouvrage critique qui aborde simultanément la spécificité de différentes sortes d’altérité dans la fiction pour en saisir les formes, la signification et les enjeux, surtout à partir de la perspective de l’Autre. Ce travail organise l’étude de la représentation de trois formes d’altérité dans six romans contemporains français, québécois et francophones dans lesquels l’Autre est le sujet du discours : 1. L’étranger : La dot de Sara (Agnant, 1995) et Un aller simple (van Cauwelaert, 1994) ; 2. La folie : Moha le fou Moha le sage (Ben Jelloun, 1978) et La chaise au fond de l’œil (Aude, [1979] 1997) ; 3. La pauvreté : L’exil aux portes du paradis (Dahan, 1993) et Conte d’asphalte (Calife, 2007). Mon objectif principal est de cerner la représentation textuelle de ces formes d’altérité ainsi que leur rôle et leur signification quand la diégèse adopte la perspective d’un personnage qui exprime lui-même sa dissemblance et son aliénation potentielle. Quand l’Autre prend la parole, son statut est entièrement bouleversé, car il ne s’agit plus d’une représentation « traduite » de son expérience ou d’une appréhension de ce personnage par un tiers. Mon travail révèle selon la perspective du marginalisé soit une transformation dans la signification de l’altérité soit un brouillage des frontières entre la marge et le centre qui remet en question, dans certains cas, l’existence même de l’altérité. Cette étude dégage également les caractéristiques discursives communes et distinctives des formes de l’altérité. En outre, elle met en lumière l’instabilité du statut Autre dans le texte romanesque : ce statut peut évoluer, se transformer et parfois même disparaître alors que, dans d’autres circonstances, il peut être un facteur identitaire incontournable et immuable. La multiplicité de ces variations illustre la complexité de chaque manifestation d’altérité et la flexibilité de la notion que le roman d’expression française utilise de façon centrale et critique. Cette thèse contribue ainsi à l’enrichissement de notre compréhension de l’exploitation littéraire des formes de l’altérité, phénomène qui marque de manière importante la littérature contemporaine.

Ce mémoire aborde la question de la folie dans l’œuvre d’Hubert Aquin, en particulier dans deux romans : Trou de mémoire et L’Antiphonaire. Deux types de désordre de la personnalité font l’objet de l’étude : le délire psychotique dans le cas de Trou de mémoire, et l’épilepsie pour ce qui est de L’Antiphonaire. La question de la maladie mentale ou neurologique est envisagée tant du point de vue thématique que du point de vue structurel. Bien que l’aspect thématique occupe la majeure partie du mémoire, l’analyse de la structure du récit y tient une place importante, l’une des hypothèses de départ étant que le désordre mental affecte la composition narrative des deux romans d’Aquin. Plusieurs sources non littéraires sont utilisées pour apporter des éléments d’analyse susceptibles de confirmer les hypothèses proposées. En plus de faire appel à des sources médicales et à des textes relevant de la psychologie, cette recherche trace un historique de l’épilepsie, en faisant ressortir les différences entre la conception qu’on en avait à l’époque de la Renaissance et celle qui prévaut aujourd’hui. Tout en empruntant à des domaines divers du savoir, cette étude s’intéresse à une question peu traitée par la critique ayant abordé le thème de la folie chez Aquin : celle de ses répercussions sur la structure du récit. / This paper treats the question of insanity in Hubert Aquin’s novels. It studies two novels specifically: Trou de mémoire and L’Antiphonaire. Subsequently, the object of this study is that of two distinct mental illnesses: psychotic delirium (which is displayed in Trou de mémoire) and epilepsy (which is displayed in L’Antiphonaire). The subject of mental or neurological disease is approached both from a thematic and structural point of view. Even if the majority of this paper is dedicated to covering the thematic aspect of the question, the analysis of the novels structure is fundamental since one of the primary hypotheses is that the effect of mental illness reflects upon the narrative structure of both Aquin’s novels. The hypotheses proposed at the beginning are confirmed by numerous elements extracted from a number of non literary sources. As well as calling upon medical information and texts more closely linked to psychology, this research delves into the history of epilepsy, contrasting the common beliefs shared during the renaissance and those more prevalent today. Although this study borrows from numerous scientific fields, it is also interested in one aspect only lightly reviewed by those who study the theme of insanity in Aquin’s works : its impact on the narrative structure of the novels.

Children's mental health problems are a significant public health concern. They are costly to society in both human and financial terms. This thesis contributes to the 'science of prevention' by examining issues related to the identification of children at risk of mental health problems. In particular, it was of interest to determine whether 'at-risk' children could be identified before the development of significant behavioural or emotional problems. Three areas were explored: family risk factors that predict the development of children's mental health problems, teachers' ability to identify family risk factors, and parent- and teacher-report screening methods. Data were collected from the parents and teachers of over 1000 children in preschool to Year 3 as part of the Promoting Adjustment in Schools (PROMAS) Project. Parents and teachers each completed two questionnaires at two time points, one year apart. Parents completed the Family Risk Factor Checklist - Parent (FRFCP) and the Child Behaviour Checklist (CBCL) and the equivalent instruments for teachers were, respectively, the Family Risk Factor Checklist - Teacher (FRFC-T) and the Teacher Report Form (TRF). The FRFC-P and FRFC-T were original to the current research and were designed to assess children's exposure to multiple family risk factors across five domains: adverse life events and instability (ALI), family structure and socioeconomic status (SES), parenting practices (PAR), parental verbal conflict and mood problems (VCM), and parental antisocial and psychotic behaviour (APB). Paper 1 investigated the psychometric properties of the FRFC-P and the potential for its use at a population-level to establish community risk factor profiles that subsequently inform intervention planning. The FRFC-P had satisfactory test-retest reliability and construct validity, but modest internal consistency. Risk assessed by the PAR domain was the most important determinant of mental health problem onset, while the PAR, VCM, and APB domains were the strongest predictors of mental health problem persistence. This risk factor profile suggests that, for the studied population, the largest preventive effects may be achieved through addressing parenting practices. Paper 2 examined teachers' knowledge of children's exposure to family risk factors using the FRFC-T. While teachers had accurate knowledge of children's exposure to risk factors within the ALI and SES domains, they had poor knowledge of children's exposure to risk factors within the PAR, VCM, or APB domains - the types of risk factors found in Paper 1 to be the most strongly related to children's mental health problems. Nevertheless, teachers' knowledge of children's exposure to risk factors within the ALI and SES domains predicted children's mental health problems at one year follow-up even after accounting for children's behaviour at the first assessment. Paper 3 investigated the potential of both the FRFC-P and FRFC-T for identifying individual, at-risk children. The accuracy of the FRFC in predicting internalising versus externalising disorders was compared against behavioural and simple nomination screening methods. For both parents and teachers, the behavioural screening methods were superior, however, the simple nomination method also showed promise for teachers. Both parents and teachers were more accurate at identifying children at risk of externalising mental health problems than children at risk of internalising problems. The performance of the FRFC and simple nomination methods in identifying children for selective interventions, before the development of significant behavioural or emotional problems, was also tested. Both the FRFC and simple nomination methods showed only modest predictive accuracy for these children. Combined, the results suggest that while on the one hand, the FRFC is useful for population level screening to inform intervention planning, on the other hand, it falls short of achieving good predictive accuracy for individual children. Future research should investigate ways to optimise predictive accuracy for individual children, particularly those at risk of developing internalising disorders. One option may be to use the FRFC in conjunction with behavioural screening methods. The challenge is to develop accurate screening methods that remain practical to complete at a population level. Finally, this body of research provides insight into the feasibility of offering selective preventive interventions within the school setting. While significant obstacles remain, there were several promising indications that using screening methods such as FRFC-T or simple nomination, teachers may be able to identify children earlier on the developmental pathway, before significant behavioural or emotional symptoms have developed.
