0387/2020 - FRANTZ FANON, DESCOLONIZAÇÃO E O SABER EM SAÚDE MENTAL: CONTRIBUIÇÕES PARA A SAÚDE COLETIVA BRASILEIRA FRANTZ FANON, DECOLONIZATION AND KNOWLEDGE IN MENTAL HEALTH: CONTRIBUTION FOR BRAZILIAN COLLECTIVE HEALTH
O ensaio enfatiza a reflexão psicossocial do psiquiatra martinicano Frantz Fanon. Seu pensamento tem expressão na crítica da dominação colonial e do racismo, destacando-se as obras “Pele negra, máscaras brancas” e “Os condenados da Terra”. Uma transcendência literária forja seu discurso apaixonado e libertador, relevante nas teorizações pós-coloniais, descoloniais e decoloniais. Crescentemente reconhecido pela discussão política do mundo diaspórico contemporâneo, suas ideias e práticas médico-sociais, precursoras na atenção à saúde mental, são menos conhecidas. Referenciado por Paulo Freire e Boaventura de Sousa Santos, Fanon releva a cultura na discussão de uma sociogênese do sofrimento mental e na crítica à inadequação da psicanálise eurocêntrica para lidar com a opressão colonial e o racismo. Fanon, embora citado por Franco Basaglia, não figurou como referência para a Reforma Psiquiátrica brasileira, mas seu pensamento descolonial e antirracista revela-se importante perspectiva para a Saúde Coletiva.

Abstract:
The essay emphasizes the psychosocial reflection of the martinican psychiatrist Frantz Fanon. Fanon’s thought has a critical expression in colonial domination and racism consideration, as in “Black Skin, White Masks” and “The Damned of the Earth”. A literary transcendence signalizes his passionate liberating speech, relevantly present in postcolonial and decolonial theorizations. Fanon is crescently recognized by the political discussion of diasporic contemporary world, although his medico-social ideas and practices, as precursors in mental health assistance, are less known. Referred to by Paulo Freire and Boaventura de Sousa Santos, Fanon gives a fundamental relevance to culture in his sociogenesis and when he criticizes the eurocentric psychoanalysis inadequacy to treat colonial oppression and racism. Cited by Franco Basaglia, Fanon wasn’t a reference to brazilian Psychiatric Reform, but his thought, decolonial and antiracist, is, in perspective, important contribution to Collective Health.
