Group Proposal

It is very common for psychopathology to be used as an element of analysis of artistic works, such as films and books. A very clear example is found inCharacters or Patients, best-selling book by Cordás e Barros, published by Artmed.

​

Interestingly, the opposite is not so common. Rarely does literature serve as an inspiration for reflection and questioning of Psychopathology.

​

What we propose is a complete inversion of this logic, a 180º turnaround in which psychopathology is questioned to its limits, serving literature not as a source of data, but as a foundation of thought.

​

For the first semester of 2023, we intend to thematize tables such as Affective-Bipolar Disorder, Depression and Borderline Personality Disorder (Boderline), demonstrating how literature is able to present the experience of ambiguity in existence in a more original way, understanding it asDouble🇧🇷
