Focalizamos en la historia clínica de una única mujer, cuya internación abarca casi el total de su vida adulta hasta su fallecimiento. El análisis, desde las categorías de género y “cuerpo individual, social y político” permite ilustrar la historia de muchas otras, funcionando como caso ejemplo sobre el modo en que la psiquiatría interviene en la configuración de las relaciones sociales y de género a lo largo del tiempo, delimitando signos y síntomas como atributos de enfermedad psíquica que conducen a invisibilizar la forma en que éstos expresan aquello que se considera “peligroso”, “dañino”, “anormal” para una mujer en determinado momento de la historia. Nuestro enfoque habilita la reflexión sobre los estereotipos de género que produce y reproduce la práctica médica hoy. Nosso trabalho é baseado em uma coleção documental de 4058 prontuários médicos do Hospital Psiquiátrico “José Esteves” da Província de Buenos Aires (Argentina), correspondente ao período de 1895-1987. Nós nos concentramos na história clínica de uma mulher solteira, cuja hospitalização cobre quase o total de sua vida adulta até a sua morte. A análise, a partir das categorias de gênero e “corpo individual, social e político”, permite ilustrar a história de muitos outros, servindo de exemplo para o modo como a psiquiatria intervém na configuração das relações sociais e de gênero ao longo do tempo, definindo sinais e sintomas como atributos da doença psíquica que levam a invisibilizar a maneira como eles expressam o que é considerado “perigoso”, “nocivo”, “anormal” para uma mulher em determinado momento da história. Nossa abordagem permite refletir sobre os estereótipos de gênero produzidos e reproduzidos pela prática médica atual. 2018-12-07 2019-09-19T21:26:01Z 2019-09-19T21:26:01Z info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion https://revistas.udistrital.edu.co/index.php/CORPO/article/view/14217 http://hdl.handle.net/11349/18326 spa https://revistas.udistrital.edu.co/index.php/CORPO/article/view/14217/14364 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0 application/pdf Revista Corpo-grafías, Estudios críticos de y desde los cuerpos Revista Corpo-grafías, Estudios críticos de y desde los cuerpos; Vol. 5 Núm. 5 (2018): enero – diciembre de 2018 2590-9398 2390-0288
