Description
Summary:This paper handles the relationship between Foucault.s History of Insanity and Cortazar's Hopscotch in order to ascertain the manner in which the dialogue between reason and nonreason, in the latter work, takes place. This attempt leads us to emphasize the analysis of key chapters, thus demonstrating Horacio Oliveira.s approach to invalidate the conjectured oppositions between sanity and insanity. This way we conect the poetic fashion that insanity assumes for the characters in Hopscotch with the complex perception Foucault develps about it.
