The postulates of thinkers such as Maurice Blanchot, Gilles Deleuze, Heloisa Buarque de Hollanda, Flora Sussekind, Michel Foucault, Erving Goffman and others support this reflection. Once the Maura's language shows in its elaboration the structure and the theme of violence, repression and pain, giving voice to a community closed in hospice, the manifestation gives a testimonial content in his works, whose approach will by the studies Jaime Ginzburg and Márcio Seligmann-Silva.
