Annotation

From a discursive interactional perspective, this paper explores 41 admission interviews held at a Buenos Aires outpatient mental health care service. Four disinguished kinds of expanded answers comprise one improved way of cooperation with the State biopolitical order, and three actions of symbolic and material opposition to statistical exclusion classification, which permits clients to bargain entry to mental healthcare.
