| Sumario: | The aim of this article is to review a number of theoretical and analytical contributions elaborated by Michel Foucault and Robert Castel, essential classics when it comes to studying the birth of the psychiatric order in modernity. We propose a brief conceptual review motivated by the question of the place that mental health hospitals have in the scheme of government in this field today.
In order to do so, a series of key notions from Foucault's and Castel's toolboxes are considered, in the order to answer our question: dispositif, technology, functional overdetermination and strategic infilling (Foucault, 1991a; 2007a; 2007b; 2014), and metamorphosis, displacement and aggiornamento (Castel, 1997; 2009). As a corollary, a situated reading is attempted on the role of psychiatric institutions in the city of Rosario, Argentina through a particular configuration that argues for hospitalization decisions: that of the patient seen as monovalent.
Its main contribution lies in the systematization of theoretical developments that provide substantive insights for addressing contemporary challenges related to the transformation of mental health approaches, from a substitutive perspective regarding monovalent hospitals. |
