living the modern experience of the “A esthetics of Existence”

Abstract

In order to explore the issue of the subject in Michel Foucault's genealogical analysis, this article is part of a research project in Discourse Analysis on a bajubá aesthetics. Based on statements by Leticia Lanz, we reflect on the rules of existence that the psychoanalyst gives to herself, promoting a stylization of life according to an ethics of her own existence. With Foucault's discursive studies as a theoretical-methodological perspective, we will develop the analysis based on the History of Sexuality that narrates forms of self-practice in different historical moments of western culture. The results point to the possibility that the subjects create unique ways of being and living in the face of the moral codes that regulate existences.
