How is madness experienced, treated, and represented? How might art
think around - and beyond - psychiatric definitions of illness and
wellbeing? Madness, Art, and Society engages with artistic
practices from theatre and live art to graphic fiction, charting a
multiplicity of ways of thinking critically with, rather than
about, non-normative psychological experience. It is organised into
two parts: 'Structures: psychiatrists, institutions, treatments',
illuminates the environments, figures and primary models of
psychiatric care, reconsidering their history and contemporary
manifestations through case studies including David Edgar's Mary
Barnes and Milos Forman's One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest.
'Experiences: realities, bodies, moods', promblematises diagnostic
categories and proposes more radically open models of thinking in
relation to experiences of madness, touching upon works such as
Richard Kelly's Donnie Darko and Duncan Macmillan's People, Places,
and Things. Reading its case studies as a counter-discourse to
orthodox psychiatry, Madness, Art, and Society seeks a more nuanced
understanding of the plurality of madness in society, and in so
doing, offers an outstanding resource for students and scholars
alike.
