This research proposes an analysis of the madness present in the work Teorema del anarquista ilustrado by Enrique Verástegui Peláez and the relationship between the idea of transgression throughout history and its development in literature. The analysis focuses on the Foucauldian theory on madness and the aspects of the madman's discourse present in the corpus of the work, in which we find the development of madness as a subversive discourse against society and politics surrounding the alienated character, who demonstrates that the problems of marginalization, resistance and confinement are present in the lives of those who resist to follow the social norms and political ideas imposed by the power and who, for this reason, are set aside. In addition, this work aims to vindicate the narrative work, little analyzed, of the author.
