“…"Madness and literature may be, for us, like the sky and the earth joined all around us, but connected to one another by a kind of large opening in which we continue to advance, in which, in fact, we speak, we speak until the day they place a handful of dirt in our mouth." 48 Before we make the connection among language, literature and madness, we must briefly define what language means to Foucault. He sees language through a self-reflective schema: 1) as Discourse and 2) as the Language of Literature.…”

“…Language and madness are closely related, they send us on expeditions to the depths of the "unthinking"; within the Heideggerian dictum, this would mean the "untruth of being". 40 We can speak only in language and this is compatible with the possibility of being mad, 41 because madness and language are inseparable in articulating the un-sayable, which is the excretion of nothing; nothing that works in the doubling, tautology of the language of madness, or as Eleanore Kaufman claims: "... this is about finding not plenitude in the expression of nothingness, but nothingness in the plenitude of expression." 42 The language of madness is hidden in some corners of the creative imagination of man, where his wings are clipped from dehumanizing normalcythere he comprehends the un-sayable, as noted by one of the representatives of anti-psychiatry David Cooper in his book The Language of Madness:…”

E seria por causa dessa 'ilimitabilidade' produzida pelo fato da escrita, segundo Foucault (2015Foucault ( , posição 1707 8 que o desejo vai em si se tornar a sua própria lei; ele irá se tornar um soberano absoluto encarnando sua própria verdade, a sua própria repetição, a sua própria infinitude, os seus próprios meios de verificação.

“…Pelo contrário, esse movimento de tessitura textual, que costura as fronteiras do real e do quase-delírio, implicaria que é na ideia da transgressão, na quebra de tabus, que o perverso encontra o erótico, e não no ato em si. Para Foucault (2015Foucault ( , posição 1630, a primeira função da escrita seria, portanto, abolir a barreira entre realidade e imaginação. Escrever é aquilo que exclui a realidade; consequentemente, é aquilo que irá liberá-la, que irá remover todos os limites do próprio imaginário.…”
