Overview
Narrating Madness is aimed at master's level students and higher interested in literature, the body, history of medicine and psychiatry, among other topics. No similar courses are available in the department or in Sweden. This course offers a way to cover a long chronological sweep with a focused perspective. This course will survey depictions of madness in western literature from the Middle Ages to the present (all texts will be read in modern English translation). While locating texts within their contemporary contexts as far as religion, gender and medicine, the course will engage with significant modern theoretical discussions of madness and creativity as offered by Foucault, Freud and others. The course will be partly net based. For information on technical requirements, please follow the link below: www.sprak.umu.se/student/dokument. The language of instruction is English, and all mandatory literature is in English.
