El placer y el deseo en la recuperación de las depresiones: La erótica como fuerza vital.

The experiences and representations of recovery in depressions are dynamic and subjective, being specific for each moment and each situation. However, common areas of meaning can be found, including the possibility of affecting and being affected, of feeling pleasure again, and of being able to desire and guide one's own desire. From the study of specific ethnographic cases, thistext makes a journey through different experiences of recovery in depressions, showing distinctions between the definitions of pleasure and desire, which allow dialogue with theoreticalstudies on the subject. In addition, erotica, like that creative force that allows us to open ourselves to the world, appears as a fundamental concept to understand the phenomenon of recovery in those bodies that, like depressives, are closed to the world and distanced from their own corporality, but that little by little they reach the illusion and enjoyment to continue living.
