[ES] El 28 de octubre de 1883 Manuel Morillo disparó contra los padres de su novia, matando a la madre e hiriendo al padre. Antes de cometer el crimen escribió numerosas cartas amenazándoles de muerte y un cuaderno en que justificaba su futuro asesinato. Los objetivos de este artículo son indagar en la escritura del loco criminal como espacio de construcción de su propia subjetividad y analizar las diferentes lecturas que de estos textos hicieron los psiquiatras, los juristas y la prensa. Se ilustrará sobre el proceso por el cual el discurso de los expertos (magistrados y médicos) expropia el significado de los textos del loco criminal y los traduce al lenguaje científico y jurídico, construyendo un nuevo sujeto definido por instancias externas que pretenden objetivarlo para sus fines.
