Beskrivning
A wide-ranging, future-focused study from a variety of cultural and academic perspectives, this illustrated book brings together a range of internationally recognised scholars committed to mapping and unpacking the political, historical, affective, and aesthetic dimensions of madness and mental distress in literary and visual cultures.Raising vital questions about the nature of madness and the limits of personhood, the practices of care and politics of reality, this valuable book asks how the various disciplines it represents might shape more radical and tender horizons for those living under the descriptions of mental illness.This is a book for anyone concerned with examining new models of interdependent psychic-sociality. Put simply, it asks how we might make life more liveable for ourselves, for each other, and crucially, for strangers we will never meet.

How do we imagine madness and the mad? And why do we constantly do so? Lurking behind and often within our stereotypes of those who see the world differently is a sense of the potential fragility of our own psyche. This extensive and impressive set of studies of how and why, compiled by anna six, ranges from cinema to carnival, from stand-up comedy to serious fiction, from self-harm to schizophrenia and beyond. All the essays are substantial and reading through the volume we are able to tease out the subtle function of madness with its national and historical differences as well as the overarching similarities of madness in our own global media culture.
