| 요약 | Schizophrenia is a form of mental illness at once the oldest known and the most unknown. Usually appropriated as a stand-in for general madness, schizophrenia is thought to be crazy, unruly, dangerous, characterized by genius, unpredictability, and wildness. Although scientific discourse continuously produces new research approaches to come closer to a concrete definition, there is as of now no fixed index for schizophrenia. Nevertheless, schizophrenia continues to be indexed on screen media as a representable condition.This dissertation examines the relationship between the lived experience of schizophrenia and structures of cinematic representation. It argues that self-representation by people with a mental illness is restrained by a cinematic straitjacket, in which schizophrenic characters and narratives are composed of socially constructed imaginations by default. As these constructed imaginations show, images found in medical training films made with the intention of equipping doctors with diagnostic skills arise just as much from cultural representations of schizophrenia as from medical reality. This critical inquiry operates within two frameworks. The first is a structural framework that examines the media conventions that help define people with a mental illness, highlighting the structures and narratives, genre conventions and performances of schizophrenia in our current cultural episteme, specifically in the United States. The second is an ethical framework that asks, What are cinema's responsibilities toward the lived realities of the schizophrenic experience? This dissertation combines a historiographic study of mental illness and cinema with an ethical investigation that interrogates the fine lines between arguments about protection, exploitation, and censorship.Each chapter centers on a different subset of media: narrative film |
