Medeia, práticas discursivas e anormalidade

Abstract

The text aims to discuss the production of abnormal bodies from the problematization of their names and places, reflecting critically in the field of discursive practices. Starting from the readings of Seneca's Medea tragedy, Foucault's The Abnormals and The Words and Things, we try to reflect on the following question: how do discursive practices constitute abnormality and materialize it in certain bodies? For this, we problematize the discursive practices that fall on the filicide mother. Thus, we aim to understand how the production of abnormality occurs and how such practice desires a place, whose body constitutes the first territoriality.
