Produktbeschreibung
'From subjective experience to political practice: accounts of citizenship' gives visibility to the political thinking of new citizens who emerge from suffering from the experience of madness. The Brazilian anti-asylum movement is the backdrop for the author's approach to what users of mental health services in Brazil think about themselves, their condition and their rights. The study analyses - in the light of Foucauldian thought - the motivations and practice of political activism of these new subjects of rights that are emerging on the contemporary scene. These are the stories of activists who resist the abuses of power and psychiatric violence by narrating a courageous political practice that is inseparable from their life trajectories.
