- Abstract
From a documental sample of seventy-seven clinical records of natural persons residing in Bello, asylees in the Antioquia Department Isane Asylum, between 1920 and 1959, there was developed a social characterization of the "mad", the "insane", the "alienated," and the "rogue", for as such the asylees were classified in medical terms at the end of the nineteeth and beginning of twentieth centuries. Contention measures and defense of public order are observed, and also the main representations and mentalities concerning the madness discourse and the manifestation of its catharsis in language forms.
