Cíle předmětu
Please note that this is a full-credit, intensive course and will be held the week before the spring semester begins, February 13-17, five days, ninety minutes in the morning, ninety minutes in the afternoon. The course will be guest-taught by Christopher Stuart from the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga, cstuart3960@gmail.com, and coordinated by Katerina Prajznerova, 68450@mail.muni.cz. All readings will be available in ELF.
This course will investigate representations of mental illness in the shorter work of American fiction writers across the history of the United States, from the 1820s through the 1980s. Authors considered might include, but will not necessarily be limited to: Edgar Allan Poe, Herman Melville, Charlotte Perkins Gilman, F. Scott Fitzgerald, William Faulkner, Vladimir Nabokov, Flannery O'Connor, Shirley Jackson, James Baldwin, and Raymond Carver. The works of the selected writers will be considered in their historical contexts, with special emphasis on major developments in the diagnosis and treatment of the insane in the United States, and on the rise and fall of the state-sponsored insane asylum. As a part of that project, we will also discuss brief readings from theorists, both historical and contemporary, who have influenced American notions of mental illness and mental health.
