This study presents an analysis of the active relationship between people suffering from schizophrenia and poetic creation, with the aim of questioning the underlying stereotypes between creative activity and schizophrenia. For a long time, artistic production in schizophrenia has been viewed as fragmentary, cryptic and inaccessible. The artistic and creative skills in people suffering from this condition have been seen as processes filtered by the dysfunctional mechanisms of this pathology. Through a study of the work of Javier Fueyo, a Chilean poet who suffers from schizophrenia, we wish to show that his work does not respond to the traditional conceptions and stereotypes, but rather can be seen as a clear model of poetic creativity operated with great rationality, and in no way can be explained as a result of his personal condition, but as a result of his poetic skills instead.En el presente estudio se analiza la relación activa entre personas con esquizofrenia y la creación poética a fin de cuestionar los estereotipos subyacentes entre la actividad creativa y la esquizofrenia. Existe una larga tradición que concibe la producción artística en la esquizofrenia como fragmentaria, críptica e inaccesible o que afirma que las habilidades artísticas y creativas de estas personas constituyen procesos filtrados por los mecanismos disfuncionales de la patología. Considerando, en este artículo, la producción literaria de Javier Fueyo, poeta chileno que padece esquizofrenia, se desea demostrar precisamente que su obra no responde a las concepciones y estereotipos tradicionales, sino que constituye un claro modelo de creación poética operado racionalmente y que no se explica por su condición personal sino por sus habilidades poéticas.
