En savoir plus sur le livre

The book offers an in-depth exploration of 'madness' through historical, theoretical, and cultural lenses, enriched by interviews with individuals who have experienced it. Adopting a transdisciplinary approach, it critiques the Western emphasis on rational thought, highlighting the neglect of transrational imagination in mental health discussions. By examining creative media—such as film, theatre, and social media—it reveals their potential for healing. The text also interrogates intersections of 'madness' with gender, sexuality, race, and class, challenging traditional narratives shaped by the Age of Reason.
