Hacia una democratización del conocimiento del malestar y la locura desde las epistemologías feministasciencia encarnada y políticas de la resistencia en el contexto contemporáneo de la salud mental

Abstract

This research aims to make visible how, in the contemporary context of mental health, multiple proposals have been generated around the claim of madness from feminist perspectives. It is made up of a compendium of articles where different forms of resistance and construction of knowledge are described from knowledge by experience, linked to discomfort and madness. Also, they reflect, anti-racist and anti-colonial criticism around these processes. At the methodological level, it starts from the embodied research as a way of articulating different biographical, subjective, political and material positions as a set of knowledges that build science and objectivity in the feminist terms of democratization of knowledge. As techniques for data analysis, bibliographic review, thematic analysis and historical-critical analysis are also included. In terms of results, it is described, on the one hand, how these proposals are a challenge to the patriarchal hegemonic notions of mental health, which give continuity to the trajectory of the feminist movement in the dispute over the theoretical-practical field of health and politicization of discomfort. On the other hand, it reflects a critical exercise in the face of epistemologies and feminist movements, and also infront of the mad movement itself. The latter, meanwhile it is demanded an urgent revision of both mentalism/sanism in feminisms, as well as the reproduction of coloniality in the resistance to the expansion of the psi device as a hegemonic way of building knowledge-power over madness and discomfort. Finally, it is offered some reflections on different intersubjective and material displacements in the process of this researching.
