| Sumario: | The article deals with the link between art and madness in Western cosmology, based on three examples: 1) the case of the collection created by the German psychiatrist Hanz Prinzhorn, at the clinic of Heildelberg (1919- ), and its subsequent persecution by the nazi propaganda, responsible for the promotion of exhibitions of "Degenerate Art" (1930s), 2) the case of the Brazilian psychiatrist Nise da Silveira, who implemented plastic expression workshops in a psychiatric hospital in Rio de Janeiro, and thus founded the Museum of Images of the Unconscious (1946-1952); 3) the case of the Milpies Collective, composed of professionals of photography, social work, plastic arts and education, which develops workshops in and outside health institutions in the city of Cordoba, within the framework of the current mental health laws of Argentina (2018). From these anecdotes, it is thought to understand three configurations of definition of subjects and rights involved in the field of mental health: degeneration, psychoanalysis, and human rights. |
