This essay proposes psychosocial ethnography as a method for investigating listening practices invented at the margins of hegemonic psychoanalysis, based on four years of fieldwork across Brazil, Argentina, and England. The objective of the article is to analyse how South American psychoanalytic collectives have been developing modes of situated listening that emerge from the porosity of listening systems to migratory movements, to the urgencies …
Discontent and Collectivity
This article examines Brazil’s free psychoanalytic clinics as radical experiments in what I call sanitary emancipation —a mode of mental health care production that links wellbeing to liberation from colonial oppression. Based on ethnographic research with clinical collectives in São Paulo, Rio de Janeiro, and beyond, I argue that these grassroots initiatives mobilise a “corruptive” form of emancipation: an imperfect, materially entangled refusal…

Collectives, Commons and Mental Health
The mode of alienation experienced in the infinity of divisions that characterise what Deleuze astutely called ‘societies of control’ resonates in the complex field of mental health, where the rise of categories of diagnoses in the last four decades is met with an increased identification with universalising codes. In such landscape, I propose a study of contemporary free psychoanalytic clinics, which have boomed internationally, and mainly in La…
On the Mental Health Commons
The political history of psychoanalysis is marked by a tension between a widely critiqued reproduction of alienation and the capacity to open radical spaces for rethinking subjectivity and practicing togetherness. This essay's research focuses on moments when fugitive free clinics are formed, functioning in friction with the psychoanalytic establishment, and centered on deindividualizing and commoning practices in the clinical realm. In this essa…
Neither Vertical nor Horizontal
Manifesto for infrastructural thinking
This paper is a manifesto for an infrastructural turn in psychoanalysis, proposing to look at institutions ‘slantwise’. It theorises psychoanalytic infrastructural thinking, pondering on its qualities as a particular kind of orientation to action, and showing its capacity to consider multiple transferences and ambivalence, as well as new fantasies on gain, accumulation and redistribution. It articulates the relationship between infrastructural th…
Radical Happiness
Review of the book Radical Happines: Moments of Collective Joy, Lynne Segal, London: Verso, 2017
Chaos and the speaking body
The Hegelian dialectics, inherited by Lacan, assume a division between the Subject and historical time, or, assuming a Symbolic system that is mediated by the phallic law, that only re-produces subjugated subjectivities, without a chance to create something new or be in touch with any chaos outside this phallogocentric system. So, echoing the 1977 essay by Italian feminist Carla Lonzi: “let’s spit on Hegel” – maybe with Lygia Clark’s Anthropophag…
