Abstract

Assuming a transdisciplinary point of view in the clinical work, this paper investigates the alliance bet ween the studies of subjectivity and the thought of Foucault and Deleuze. Our purpose is to redefine clinical practice in accordance with their critique of the conception of subjectivity as a substance, naturalized by strictly psychological universal laws, responsible for their regularity and well established and unchangeable conceptual contours. The relationship between subjectivity and discursive practices is explored as a process of mutual production, in which speech modalities and modalities of existence emerge from the interplay of forces. Two modalities of the forces in movement are emphasized, so that the two poles of the process of subjectivation can be seen: subjective productions that lead to homogenization and the invention of new modes of existence. In such context, the clinical task would be carried out by carefully maintaining the double movement, by which subjectivity could preserve its processing nature as opposed to a substantial constitution.

Keywords: subjectivity; clinic; literature.
