Insanity in art!
Tuesday 4th October, 5.30-6.30pm, Old Broadcasting House, Leeds
Led by Professor Sander Gilman: Seeing the Insane in Art and Medicine from the Middle Ages to the 21st Century.
Western fantasies about mental illness have had a bodily representation in art and medicine. Tracking that history may give us some insights to the perpetuation and meaning of the stigma associated with mental illnesses, how it shifts and how it maintains itself over centuries. This will be a PowerPoint presentation with discussion.
Sander L. Gilman is a distinguished professor of the Liberal Arts and Sciences as well as Professor of Psychiatry at Emory University. A cultural and literary historian, he is the author or editor of over eighty books.
He is the author of the basic study of the visual stereotyping of the mentally ill, Seeing the Insane, published by John Wiley and Sons in 1982 (reprinted: 1996) as well as the standard study of Jewish Self-Hatred, the title of his Johns Hopkins University Press monograph of 1986. He has been a visiting professor at numerous universities in North America, South Africa, The United Kingdom, Germany, Israel, China, and New Zealand.
