description Madness embodies, in different historical periods, a specific connotation linked to the existing social organization, which imposes speeches, outlines procedures and treatments and defines social places for those affected by it. Based on this premise, we developed a research which proposes a thematic bibliographic review, aiming at learning meanings and interpretations of the experience of madness in Western culture, focusing on the ancient and medieval times. As the object of examination, the article addresses discourses that depicted women as especially prone to this illness, revealing the connection between gender relations, imposed speeches and madness, a term that covers a wide range of experiences related to different failures of the faculty of reason and unusual or transgressive behaviors.

Based on this premise, we developed a research which proposes a thematic bibliographic review, aiming at learning meanings and interpretations of the experience of madness in Western culture, focusing on the ancient and medieval times. As the object of examination, the article addresses discourses that depicted women as especially prone to this illness, revealing the connection between gender relations, imposed speeches and madness, a term that covers a wide range of experiences related to different failures of the faculty of reason and unusual or transgressive behaviors. A loucura assume, em cada período histórico, uma conotação específica vinculada à organização social vigente, que pronuncia discursos, traça procedimentos e destaca tratamentos e lugares sociais para os acometidos. Com base nesta premissa, desenvolveu-se uma pesquisa com base em revisão bibliográfica temática, objetivando apreender alguns sentidos e interpretações para a experiência do enlouquecimento na cultura ocidental, perpassando a Antiguidade e o mundo medievo. Como objeto de exame, o texto aborda discursos que apontaram o sexo feminino enquanto especialmente predisposto a este mal, revelando a ligação entre relações de gênero, os discursos pronunciados e a loucura, termo que, grosso modo, abarca um vasto leque de experiências ligadas a falhas da faculdade da razão e aos comportamentos inabituais ou transgressivos. 2012-04-04 2022-03-18T18:33:15Z 2022-03-18T18:33:15Z info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion https://periodicos.fclar.unesp.br/estudos/article/view/4935 http://biblioteca-repositorio.clacso.edu.ar/handle/CLACSO/63132 por https://periodicos.fclar.unesp.br/estudos/article/view/4935/4124 Copyright (c) 2012 Estudos de Sociologia application/pdf FCL-UNESP Laboratório Editorial Estudos de Sociologia; v. 17 n. 32 (2012): Dossiê: Aborto, objeto da pesquisa social 1982-4718 1414-0144
