| Summary: | Madness, Art, and Society engages with artistic practices from theater and live art to graphic fiction, charting a multiplicity of ways of thinking critically with, rather than about, non-normative psychological experience. It is organiszd into two parts, 'Psychiatrists, Institutions, Treatments,' which illuminates the environments, figures and models of psychiatric care, and 'Realities, Bodies, Moods,' which rejects diagnostic categories in favor of a radical openness to the diversity of madness. Reading the works discussed as a form of protest literature, Madness, Art, and Society seeks a more nuanced understanding of the plurality of madness in contemporary art and society. |
