A constituição do sujeito em Canto dos Malditos, de Austregésilo Carrano Bueno

Abstract

In the present study we proposed to analyze identity and discursive constitution of Austregésilo Carrano Bueno through practices of subjectification and a plurality of subject-positions assumed by him among them, subject of reason and the subjectposition of unreason of which we are concerned to develop the present research. To this end, we rely on Discourse Analysis of the French tradition based on Foucaultian perspective, observing the processes of subjectivity and objectivity that let an average teenager to be framed in the subject-position "crazy" and be up for it. Thus, we treat the historical and discursive constitution of the object madness and its emergence in the corpus selected for analysis from surfaces of emergence and grids of specification. We also approach the procedures to control discourse that lead an individual to fall into the position of crazy. Therefore, we treat the insane asylum as a heterotopic space in which discourses are established. We discuss in our analysis, too, the procedures for control of speech (disciplining, rejection, separation, etc.) determining whether a subject is or is not authorized to speak to a particular place. We must note also that, in our work, do not take into account the classification that typically is done for the three Foucault s phases, because the interest we see, through his theoretical proposal and its methods of analysis was the constitution and the emergence of madness as an object of discourse, which takes place in a relationship between history and memory.
