I28-R145-11432_oai2025-11-17 Inostroza Boitano, Camila Elena 2024-12-18 Kate Millett (1934-2017) was a feminist activist from the United States, forcibly hospitalized twice because of a diagnosis of bipolarity. In this essay, her story in The Loony-Bin Trip (1990) is used to highlight the mechanisms of de-subjectivation that operate in the psychiatric diagnosis process. Among the mechanisms of de-subjectivation that are glimpsed, there is the partial and stigmatized reading of the diagnosed subject, the inability to execute the exercise of will with respect to issues that concern themselves and permanent self-doubt. In this way, a critique of the biomedical model and the pathologization of the feminine is made. Kate Millett (1934-2017) fue una activista feminista estadounidense, internada forzosamente en dos ocasiones a causa de un diagnóstico de bipolaridad. En el presente ensayo, se utiliza su relato en Viaje al Manicomio (1990), para evidenciar los mecanismos de des-subjetivación que operan en el proceso de diagnóstico psiquiátrico. Entre los que se vislumbran, se encuentra la lectura parcial y estigmatizada del sujeto diagnosticado, la incapacidad de ejecutar el ejercicio de voluntad respecto a cuestiones que atañen a sí mismos y la duda permanente de sí. De esta forma, se realiza una crítica al modelo biomédico y a la patologización de lo femenino. application/pdf https://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/mora/article/view/11432 10.34096/mora.n30.11432 spa Facultad de Filosofía y Letras, Universidad de Buenos Aires https://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/mora/article/view/11432/14373 Derechos de autor 2024 Mora Mora; Vol. 2 Núm. 30 1853-001X 0328-8773 Des-subjetivación Diagnóstico psiquiátrico Sujetos feminizados De-subjectivation of the feminine through psychiatric diagnosis: a reflection from The Loony-Bin Trip by Kate Millett Des-subjetivación de lo femenino mediante el diagnóstico psiquiátrico: una reflexión desde Un viaje al manicomio de Kate Millett info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion Artículo revisado por pares https://repositoriouba.sisbi.uba.ar/gsdl/cgi-bin/library.cgi?a=d&c=mora&d=11432_oai |
