This essay elaborates on the organization built by the activist efforts of mad studies and pride as academic-political resistance to the impositions of power-knowledge imposed by psy dispositive.

The essay also presents a dissertation on the relationship between discourse and affect, as a couple that can help find escape routes to the imposed cannons of the psy dispositive, the biomedical model of mental health and the subjectivation mechanisms it allows
