Resumo: 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.

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.FCL-UNESP Laboratório Editorial2012-04-04info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.fclar.unesp.br/estudos/article/view/4935Estudos de Sociologia; v. 17 n. 32 (2012): Dossiê: Aborto, objeto da pesquisa social1982-47181414-0144reponame:Estudos de Sociologiainstname:Universidade Estadual Paulista (UNESP)instacron:UNESPporhttps://periodicos.fclar.unesp.br/estudos/article/view/4935/4124Copyright (c) 2012 Estudos de Sociologiainfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessEsquinsani, Rosimar Serena SiqueiraDametto, Jarbas2021-05-12T13:47:12Zoai:ojs.pkp.sfu.ca:article/4935Revistahttp://seer.fclar.unesp.br/estudosPUBhttp://seer.fclar.unesp.br/estudos/oaistraud.fclar@unesp.br||estudosdesociologia@fclar.unesp.br||maria.jardim@unesp.br1982-47181414-0144opendoar:2021-05-12T13:47:12Estudos de Sociologia - Universidade Estadual Paulista (UNESP)false
