Madness in the Making: Psychosocial Disability and Theater by Scott Madness in the Making: Psychosocial Disability and Theater By Scott Matthew Wallin A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Performance Studies in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor Catherine Cole, Chair Professor Shannon Jackson Professor Susan Schweik Spring 2014 Scott Matthew Wallin Madness in the Making: Psychosocial Disability and Theater Copyright 2014 Abstract Madness in the Making: Psychosocial Disability and Theater by Scott Matthew Wallin Doctor of Philosophy in Performance Studies University of California, Berkeley Professor Catherine Cole, Chair This dissertation begins at the promising crossroads of performance studies and disability studies. How does theater influence our perceptions and responses to psychosocial disability? While plays and productions often reinforce dominant social views that stigmatize and oppress people who are considered mad or labeled mentally ill, theater attuned to these concerns can also critique such treatment by offering fuller, more complex depictions that encourage us to rethink psychosocial disabilities. This dissertation analyzes North American theatrical productions that engage with madness in atypical ways. Drawing from performance theory, disability theory, and ethnographic inquiry via audience and artist interviews and close readings of live and video- recorded performances, “Madness in the Making” analyzes moments where theater and psychosocial disability work together to disrupt normative practices, initiate productive discussions around psychosocial disability, and reach towards a more inclusive and innovative theater. Contemporary society tends to regard psychosocial disability as mental illness that should be eliminated through treatment or social isolation. But madness is also a valuable resource for theater. Peter Brook and the Royal Shakespeare Company’s production of Peter Weiss’ Marat/Sade (1965), for example, used madness as a theatrical device to push the limits of acting and audience expectations. This production exemplified how theater strategically uses mental and emotional disabilities in various productive ways, albeit often without concern for the lived realities of disabled people and in ways that further stereotypes and misunderstanding. Other theater, however, specifically targets these concerns. The Broadway musical, Next to Normal (2010) and Tuesdays at Four (2004) produced by The Fisher Players, a small community theater group from Detroit, consciously attempted to reduce the stigma of mental illness. Mental health advocates praised these shows for educating audiences and empowering mental health consumers. One can see in these performances theater’s capacity to engender audience empathy and support. However, a deeper analysis of the work also reveals drama’s inherent limitations in representing psychosocial disability. Part of this limitation relates to the need for an intersectional understanding of oppression as well the fact that stigma can never be fully removed from the concept of mental illness. Another challenge lies in the complex relationship between language and disability, and Joshua Waters’ Madhouse Rhythm (2008) is a one-person show that addresses this challenge by utilizing linguistic performativity to resist psychiatric 1 discourse. The production also reveals how subversive reinscription and subjunctive space can complicate the boundaries between mental illness and sanity and promote a sense of support and community around psychosocial disability. Lastly, in response to dramatic theater’s inherent limitations in critically engaging with psychosocial disability, this project explores how The Wooster Group’s Rumstick Road (1977) exemplifies ways that postdramatic theater can critique psychiatric subjection and function as a hermeneutic device for better understanding and embracing psychological and emotional difference. While disability studies has moved beyond fundamental issues of access and support to analyze how disability operates as a culture, a minority identity, and a resource for all critical and cultural theory, this exploration has not yet adequately included the concerns and unique contributions of psychosocial disability. The cost of this neglect runs high. People with psychosocial disabilities remain not only underrepresented, their voices are effectively silenced by authoritative discourse that speaks for them and often misrepresents their experiences and perspectives. This dissertation addresses this gap by building upon disability studies’ initial engagement with mad studies. Using moments of performance to exemplify psychosocial disability’s specific perspectives, concerns, and strengths, this work reevaluates the way that disability studies requires and valorizes the functional, normative mind as a way to understand and advocate for those with physical disabilities. By critically embracing psychosocial disability, disability studies may need to revise many of its assumptions and practices. The various performance sites in this dissertation demonstrate ways that psychosocial disability works not only as an object of representation but also an aesthetic and critical tool in theater. Critical disability aesthetics draw attention to the limitations of conventional theater. By deconstructing an ideology of ability and hermeneutic mastery that pervades theater practice, psychosocial disability can engender a more inclusive and critical process for audiences, practitioners, and theorists. 2 Table of Contents Acknowledgments ii Introduction iii 1.

While plays and productions often reinforce dominant social views that stigmatize and oppress people who are considered mad or labeled mentally ill, theater attuned to these concerns can also critique such treatment by offering fuller, more complex depictions that encourage us to rethink psychosocial disabilities. This dissertation analyzes North American theatrical productions that engage with madness in atypical ways. Drawing from performance theory, disability theory, and ethnographic inquiry via audience and artist interviews and close readings of live and video- recorded performances, “Madness in the Making” analyzes moments where theater and psychosocial disability work together to disrupt normative practices, initiate productive discussions around psychosocial disability, and reach towards a more inclusive and innovative theater. This project begins at the promising crossroads of performance studies and disability studies. Disability studies rejects the notion of disability as a natural, discrete condition that befalls upon unfortunate individuals.1 Instead, it considers the social processes that reflect and shape how people—our bodies, minds, and emotions—interact with environments and one another. Performance studies also considers performance as a transitive action, a subject that exists in the act of doing something. These acts can reflect, shape, and even inaugurate aspects of ourselves and our world. At the nexus of these two interdisciplinary fields, performance studies analyzes how disability functions as trope, image, physical object, and action deployed throughout performances of everyday life and aesthetic practices, including theater. In doing so, it can explain how disability and its representations inextricably shape our beliefs, societal values, behavior, and ways of understanding the world. As Carrie Sandahl and Phillip Auslander argue in their foundational text at the convergence of performance studies and disability studies, disability is “something one does rather than something one is.”2 The inverse of this critical work also holds true: disability studies analyzes how performance functions. No longer a sub- category of humanity or a subject or theme to be treated in isolation, disability intervenes politically, socially, aesthetically, and theoretically on all aspects of life, including performance. Therefore, as we use a critical understanding

It had been collected by student Chumani Maxwele from “one of the portable toilets that dot the often turbulent, crowded townships on the windswept plains outside Cape Town.”2 Maxwele’s actions sparked a campus-wide conversation that spread to other campuses in South Africa. They also joined the global conversations about Black Lives Matter; the demands in the United States to remove Confederate flags and commemorations to Confederate heroes, and the names of racists (including President 1 Andrew Harding, “Cecil Rhodes Monument: A Necessary Anger?,” BBC News, April 11, 2015, accessed March 3, 2016, http://www.bbc.com/news/ world-africa-32248605.

Given the prominence of the subject of madness, both historically and literarily, we need a unified methodology for analysis and action. As a subfield of disability studies, “mad studies” deals specifically with representations of mental distress rather than physical otherness, examining how “madness” enables writers to convey certain meanings or produce certain stories. In minor characters, these meanings are infused into characters’ actantial function within the symbolic model of disability: madness works as a device for plot, psychological depth (of other characters), and thematic resonance.

  • Elizabeth Packard: a Noble Fight'
    H-Disability Roof on Carlisle, 'Elizabeth Packard: A Noble Fight' Review published on Monday, September 24, 2012 Linda V. Carlisle. Elizabeth Packard: A Noble Fight. Urbana: University of Illinois Press, 2010. xii + 259 pp. $40.00 (cloth), ISBN 978-0-252-03572-2. Reviewed by David J. Roof (Minot State University) Published on H-Disability (September, 2012) Commissioned by Iain C. Hutchison Linda V. Carlisle has written a complex and comprehensive portrait of Elizabeth Packard (1816-97). It is a fascinating story, detailed with the intricacies of her historical context. In June 1850, Packard was placed, against her will, in the Jacksonville, Illinois, insane asylum by her disgruntled husband. She eventually won her release and devoted her life to reforming the rights of those deemed insane and to advocating for women’s rights. Tracing the evolution of women’s biography, Carolyn Gold Heilbrun notes that, whereas authors previously wrote of women transforming “rage into spiritual acceptance,” today’s authors acknowledge their pain; their rage; and, according to Heilbrun, their “‘open admission of the desire for power and control over one’s life’” (pp. 12-13). This is a fitting depiction for this biography. Carlisle describes Packard’s story as one of boundaries: intellectual, cultural, and social boundaries; boundaries of gender and religion; definitions of insanity; and boundaries between radical and conservative tendencies. Carlisle also depicts Packard as a woman addressing the central issues of nineteenth-century society and questions fundamental to that society, such as “What civil rights are due married women? What rights and liberties are due those individuals deemed to be insane? What boundaries may a society reasonably impose on an individual’s beliefs and behaviors?” (p.

Email: [email protected] ABSTRACT. In 2002, Gunther von Hagens’s display of plastinated corpses opened in London. Although the public was fascinated by Body Worlds, the media largely castigated the exhibition by dismissing it as a resuscitated Victorian freak show. By using the freak show analogy, the British press expressed their moral objection to this type of bodily display. But Body Worlds and nineteenth-century displays of human anomalies were linked in more complex and telling ways as both attempted to be simultaneously entertaining and educational. This essay argues that these forms of corpo- real exhibitionism are both examples of the dynamic relationship between the popular and professional cultures of the body that we often errone- ously think of as separate and discrete. By reading Body Worlds against the Victorian freak show, I seek to generate a fuller understanding of the his- torical and enduring relationship between exhibitionary culture and the discourses of science, and thus to argue that the scientific and the spectac- ular have been, and clearly continue to be, symbiotic modes of generating bodily knowledge.

    COPAS—Current Objectives of Postgraduate American Studies 18.2 (2017) Scars for Life(s) Jessica Suzanne Stokes ABSTRACT: This essay considers the relationship between performance, disability, and the ephemera of wounding experiences by using bodily scars as method for multi-temporal and multi-spatial reflection. Thinking through the “Freak Show” season of the television series American Horror Story, this essay locates coalitional potential in scars as they offer sites from which to create new stories of the past. KEYWORDS: Disability; Scar; Performance; Culture Operation Ephemera Some people take first day of school pictures to document the passage of time. Instead, I have x-rays, photos of blue hairnets that barely cover my head, and more photos of my feet right after the cast is sawed away, right before the stitches or staples come out because the surgeries I had were my father’s surgeries, and my brother’s surgeries and… These photos don’t document time linearly. They aren’t displayed in an album in a particular order. They all sit in one shoe box. Each merges with the next: purple cast fragments, screws lodged in bone, staples in a row, beforeafter while afterbefore, white walls, blue hairnets, hospital blankets, IV drips, purple cast fragments. The scars are reopened by new operations. I’ve lost track of the number of surgeries. I certainly don’t remember the dates (see figure 1). Figure 1. Jessica Stokes’ Foot X-ray, Grand Rapids.

NEWHOUSE THEATER Lincoln Center Theater (under the direction of André Bishop) has announced that Michael Aronov, Adam Dannheisser, Jennifer Ehle, Daniel Jenkins, Dariush Kashani, Jefferson Mays, Daniel Oreskes, Henny Russell, Joseph Siravo, and T. Ryder Smith will be featured in the cast of its upcoming production of OSLO, a new play by J.T. Rogers, directed by Bartlett Sher. Commissioned by Lincoln Center Theater, OSLO begins performances Thursday, June 16 and will open Monday, July 11 at the Mitzi E. Newhouse Theater (150 West 65 Street). Additional casting will be announced at a later date. It’s 1993. The world watches the impossible: Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin and Palestinian Liberation Organization Chairman Yasser Arafat, standing together in the White House Rose Garden, signing the first ever peace agreement between Israel and the PLO. How were the negotiations kept secret? Why were they held in a castle in the middle of Norway? And who are these mysterious negotiators? A darkly comic epic, OSLO tells the true, but until now, untold story of how one young couple, Norwegian diplomat Mona Juul (to be played by Jennifer Ehle) and her husband social scientist Terje Rød-Larsen (to be played by Jefferson Mays), planned and orchestrated top-secret, high-level meetings between the State of Israel and the Palestine Liberation Organization, which culminated in the signing of the historic 1993 Oslo Accords.

INTERNATIONAL HUMAN RIGHTS PROTECTION AGAINST PSYCHIATRIC POLITICAL ABUSES George J. Alexander* I. INTRODUCTION While some instances of alleged psychiatric abuse have been litigated, much more remains untested in international tribunals. It is even fair to say that issues of human rights violations through psychiatric interventions only elicited sparse domestic jurisprudence until quite recently.1 That is not to say that there are not announced principles which ap- pear to protect against abuse. Such rules exist both nation- ally and internationally. They are, however, undermined by exceptions designed to permit medical treatment for those deemed to require it. Unfortunately, those who invoke the mental health system, however cynically, usually begin by claiming therapeutic aims. Secondly, madness, however de- scribed, can be used as a claim for relief from legal responsi- bility, as in the insanity defense, or in claims of legal incom- petence.
