Falatório/Chatter

Zusatztext

Falatório/Chatter delves into the life and work of Stella do Patrocínio (1941-1992), who was confined in Rio de Janeiros Colônia Juliano Moreira psychiatric asylum from the age of twenty-one until her death. The unique form of relentless speech that Do Patrocínio produced while institutionalized was dismissed by doctors as mere logorrhoea. Yet her falatório is far more: a defiant and poetic act that resists erasure by psychiatry, racism, and patriarchy. Drawing on a wide range of archival material, this book presents transcriptions of Do Patrocínios chatter in Portuguese and English, amplifying her voice as a testament to survival, power, and resistance.
