Ethical-aesthetic existential territories in collective health

This paper investigates possible contributions of philosophy for the problematization of Collective Health issues, emphasizing the effects of the approach among disciplines usually held as being different from one another. The purpose is to emphasize the dimension of conceptual construction and the notion of existing territories in the philosophic field, in order to contribute towards the practice in Mental Health. In this manner, the contribution of philosophy is discussed to think psychic suffering, evidencing the power of the anti-asylum clinic in the construction of spaces that manufacture deinstitutionalized subjects. To this end, ethical-aesthetic horizons are presented from the thoughts of Gilles Deleuze, Félix Guattari and Michel Foucault.
