实物特征:In this paper, it develops a reading of the story El Alienista, from Brazilian writer Machado de Assis. It is proposed   an initial approach to the analysis of the literary text and the analysis of this writer who is so important and has been so neglected in the costarican academy. We work around “madness” but specially around psychiatry. The institution that has tried to dominate madness. Thus, we will analysed the emergence of alienism as a discourse, as an institution, and as a power that has been legitimated in the building of the “alienated” figure, to finally shut it.                              Key Words: Brazilian Literature, science, psychiatry, power, madness.
