Abstract

The following article analyses total institutions and its ways of policontextural projection, demonstrating the efficiency of their methods in amputating psychic instruments from its individuals. In order to get to this point, the Hospital Colônia Santa Teresa (Colony Hospital Santa Teresa) is analyzed as a second order institution, used as a leprosarium, in which the prisoners/patients were taken from common social life and forced to live in a closed system with little to be known from beyond its walls. This article is developed through Niklas Luhmann’s (autopoietic) systems theory because it allows an observation of policontextural phenomena, making observable what used to be hidden, such as the prisoners/patients from Santa Teresa.
