Instructor:
"UNREASON: MADNESS AND THE POLITICS
OF KNOWLEDGE"
(VLPA, I&S)
WESTERN SOCIETY LOVES AND HATES TO
REASON. ON ONE HAND IT UPHOLDS
REASON AS THE ULTIMATE
ENLIGHTENMENT VALUE. ON THE OTHER
HAND, IT PRODUCES CONDITIONS OF
LIFE AND CULTURAL ARTIFACTS THAT
ARE ANYTHING BUT REASONABLE.
WESTERN SOCIETY HAS BEEN ESPECIALLY
HARSH WITH THOSE WHO ARE BELIEVED
TO HAVE UNREASONABLE THOUGHTS OR
BODIES, MARGINALIZING THEM THROUGH
INCARCERATION, HOSPITALIZATION,
POVERTY, OR NEGLECT.
