The research to develop here is the result of a series of memories, experiences, exchanges and observations of my relationships, life and practices as professionals of psychology in the policy of social assistance, in peripheral communities located in a city in the interior of Alagoas wild. The text was built from the relationship between women, mental health and their poetics of resistance, through oral and written narratives. So that you can get to know the research here and that brought me to this study, instead of a general and specific question, we chose to express a general question that moves to the cross that moved to the island of ideas that were relevant: What are the effects by the conjuration of memories and narratives of subaltern women in the production of knowledge, in care practices, guarantee of rights in the fields of social assistance and mental health? Faced with so many concerns that enter and dances and encounters, we intend to reflect and contest narratives of women from the Alagoas agreste, the relationship between body, madness and medicalization of the female body and present and lived experiences in the local psychosocial care network; Finally, we seek to understand how narratives meet with stories in literary works, women who lived the experience of their psychiatric patients, from their anti-asylum poetic narratives of resistance and life policies.
