Presentation on madness and gender for English 246: Gender and Genre
Questions on the first section of the Bertha Mason chapters are from my partner. No "works cited" slide.
1) The document analyzes Sylvia Plath's novel The Bell Jar, which uses the protagonist Esther Greenwood to comment on the struggles faced by women in the 1950s regarding their sexuality, social status, and identity formation.
2) Esther struggles with understanding her own identity and place in society due to having a strained relationship with her father and inability to relate to her mother. She also grapples with societal double standards around sexuality.
3) Esther eventually gains some control over her sexuality by obtaining birth control, but still faces stigma. She struggles with pressures to conform to feminine expectations. Her mental health suffers as a result of all these struggles.
This document provides an overview of Carl Jung's concept of archetypes and the collective unconscious. It discusses three main types of archetypes: character archetypes like the hero and scapegoat; situation archetypes like the quest and journey; and symbol/association archetypes like light-darkness and heaven-hell. Character archetypes include common mythological figures that exemplify certain characteristics. Situation archetypes describe common patterns of events. Symbol/association archetypes are pairs of concepts that commonly represent opposing ideas in stories across cultures.
This document discusses archetypes, which are recurring characters, images, and situations that appear across different stories and cultures. It provides examples of common archetypes like the hero, who embarks on a quest for fulfillment, and the villain, who represents pure evil. The document also lists symbolic images like colors, numbers, and natural elements that often represent certain concepts in myths. It analyzes some classic archetypes found in stories, like the orphan prince, temptress, and mad scientist. Finally, it notes that analyzing mythological archetypes can provide insight into general human themes.
This document is an introduction to Wilhelm Reich's 1945 essay "Listen, Little Man!". It provides context for why Reich wrote the essay, which was as a reaction to criticism of his work and to describe his perspective on "the man in the street". The introduction outlines Reich's view that individuals are responsible for their own oppression and slavery, rather than external forces, and that truth can counteract people's desire for authority figures. It aims to give the average person an understanding of themselves and their role in social and political issues.
Zora Neale Hurston's book Their Eyes Were Watching God explores the nature of Black women and men and how their experiences within African American culture influence their identities. Hurston employs voodoo imagery and symbolism to discuss mythic beliefs and themes within the community. The book follows Janie Crawford's quest for self-discovery beyond the constraints of society. Through voodoo religion, Hurston provides an opportunity for Black women's self-determination. Voodoo mythology includes loa spirits that people call upon for help. Janie represents Ezili, the loa governing women's lives. Hurston uses these mythic elements to transcend social limitations and realize a modern African American myth grounded in tradition.
The document discusses Thomas Middleton's play The Changeling and how it depicts issues of virginity, sexuality, and gender through various scenes and characters. A key scene shows Diaphanta experiencing an orgasm after drinking a potion, depicting female pleasure without actual sex. This, combined with other elements like a historical divorce trial that involved examining a woman's virginity, underscores how the play illustrates the questionable and ambiguous nature of proving female virginity or integrity given social norms. It also highlights the complex relationship between the physical body and metaphysical concepts like virginity and the soul.
The document contrasts aspects of Victorian literature with modern literature, noting shifts from acceptance to rejection of forms, from superficiality to meaninglessness, and from easier to more complex works. It also lists contrasts between views of men and different philosophies in the eras, tracing the development from modernism after World War I to postmodernism emerging around World War II with questioning of universal truths and focus on individual truths. Key modern literary movements are also listed.
A literary survey of the phenomenology of sacrificeAlexander Decker
This document summarizes several theories proposed by anthropologists on the origins and nature of religious sacrifice:
1) The gift theory proposed sacrifice began as gifts to gods to gain favor or minimize hostility. Later theories saw sacrifice as establishing personal relations or symbolic rather than real gifts of thanksgiving.
2) Totemism theories saw earliest sacrifices as renewing blood relationships between tribes and divinities by ritual killings and eatings.
3) French sociological theories viewed the sacred world as a projection of society and sacrifice as recognizing social forces.
4) Other theories proposed sacrifice transferred magical force, ritually reenacted primordial myths, or resulted from anxiety over success. Critics found weaknesses in viewing sacrifice through single lenses like

There are three main types of archetypes: character archetypes like the hero and mentor, plot archetypes like the journey and initiation, and symbol archetypes such as colors, numbers, and natural elements that convey deep symbolic meanings. Archetypes are timeless symbols that have remained largely unchanged and can be found in stories from ancient myths to modern works because they represent common human experiences.
Beyond Belief: The Transformative Power of Mythic FictionLisaConnors6
This paper examines the transformative power of mythic fiction. It discusses how mythic fiction can expand readers' worldviews and beliefs by transporting them into an engaging secondary world. The paper analyzes how successful works of mythic fiction establish credibility and motivate readers to suspend disbelief, entering into a transformative reading experience. Specifically, it explores three craft techniques used by mythic fiction authors: 1) Contracting, or constructing an intriguing threshold between the primary and secondary worlds; 2) Pathmaking, enticing readers along a journey with wise guides; and 3) Rattle and Ache, crafting endings that provoke thought about one's core beliefs. The author aims to apply these techniques in their own work of mythic
The document discusses archetypes and the hero's journey as described by Carl Jung and Joseph Campbell. It outlines several archetypal heroic characters and stages of the hero's journey, including the call to adventure, initiation trials, and return with wisdom. Common elements found across stories involving the hero's journey are also listed, such as mystical guides, tests of strength, and symbolic death and rebirth.
Dissertation (before edit for application)Greg Clarke
This document provides an overview of the historiography surrounding the connection between women and witchcraft in early modern Europe. It discusses how the rise of women's history in the 1970s led scholars to view witchcraft prosecutions as a form of misogyny and oppression of women. However, more recent research has presented alternative perspectives. The document examines various theories for why women were more often associated with witchcraft, including religious ideas of women's inferiority and sexuality. It also explores the role of binary thinking in gender relations and evaluates whether witchcraft was truly misogynistic or the result of other social and economic factors during this period. The aim of the dissertation is to reevaluate these assertions and argue that male witches

The protagonist Winston Smith is an member of the Outer Party who secretly opposes the Party; he is captured and subjected to torture and brainwashing by O'Brien of the Ministry of Love in an attempt to get him to conform to the Party's ideology of perpetual war and worship of Big Brother. In the end, Winston is broken and fully accepts the Party's version of reality.

Overall, the document examines how the novel uses horror elements to shed light on the experiences of queer individuals and advocate for accepting people regardless of their sexuality.

This document summarizes a study exploring feminist identity through the use of magic realism in the works of Gabriel Garcia Marquez. The study analyzes how magic realism serves as an ideal mode for representing women's conditions and diverse feminist identities. It examines how Marquez's female characters both conform to and subvert patriarchal norms through their representations. The study is delimited to four novels by Marquez and focuses on deconstructing the gender identity constructions within them based on theorists like Butler, de Beauvoir, Friedan, and Millet.
Anthropology amp The Supernatural From Spirits to Consciousness.pdfSara Parker
1) Andrew Lang criticized Edward Tylor's emphasis on "savage man" irrationally misinterpreting experiences, arguing experiences of supernatural phenomena recorded in ethnographies should be taken seriously.
2) While Tylor's interpretation of supernatural beliefs as resulting from cognitive limitations became dominant, social-functionalism provided an alternative explanation for their persistence as serving social functions.
3) Publications like Carlos Castaneda's account of experiences with a Yaqui shaman rekindled debate by inspiring ethnographers to immerse themselves and document their own anomalous experiences, giving rise to the anthropology of experience and consciousness.

This document discusses the evolution of female protagonists in young adult dystopian novels from the late 19th century to present day. It notes that while early "New Women" in the late 19th century resisted traditional gender roles, they did not seek to redefine women's roles broadly. Not until the 21st century did young women protagonists in dystopian novels more consciously explore navigating nontraditional roles and societal liminality. The document then discusses how novels like Reviving Ophelia and themes of the Riot Grrrl movement captured adolescent girls struggling against the pressures of unrealistic cultural ideals in the late 20th century. Finally, it outlines some typical conflicts young women protagonists in dystopian novels

does not give rise to a new birth, and Aristotle and

“In the Middle Ages, madness was seen as the point of
intersection between the human, the divine, and the demonic.
It was viewed alternatively or simultaneously as possession, sin,
punishment, and disease, and it confirmed the inseparability of
the human and transcendent.”
(Neely)

medical treatises and the theatrical representations of
Shakespeare, Kyd, Dekker, Middleton, Fletcher, and Webster.

10. “ ‘Madness’ was not viewed as the opposite of sanity. It wasn’t
even an exclusively medical condition. ‘Madness’ was seen as
an extension of the normal, or an excess of the normal. In fact,
people “run mad, fall mad, are beside themselves, and then
recover themselves. But these behaviors occurred and were
reported, represented, treated” (Neely 778).

12. “The scientific development does not mark a dramatic shift
from a demonological vision of medicine, but progresses hand
in hand with evolution of theories on exorcism. The written
records tell us of several outbreaks of hysteria, the most
famous of which is undoubtedly the one occurred in the village
of Salem (Massachusetts) in 1692.”
(Tasca, et al.)

13. Madness in this era evolved into, “as Michel Foucault claims,
the mark of unreason, the symbol of the animal side of human
nature that needs confinement and restraint” (Neely 317).

Greenwood in The Bell Jar?
THE GOOD OLE
21. Studies in “the 19th-20th centuries gradually demonstrate that
hysteria is not an exclusively female disease allowing a stricter
scientific view to finally prevail. 20th century’s studies have also
drawn on the importance of transcultural psychiatry, in order
to understand the role of environmental factors in the emotive
evolution and behavioral phenomenology and in modifying the
psychopathology.” (Tasca, et al.)
THE GOOD OLE
22. What are the most common conditions attributed to women
by psychiatric studies and even the DSM-V?
MEMES++ IN THE
24. • Madness as gendered, not just in medicine,
but in established literary conventions.
• “the history of madness is marked by
hiatuses” (779) “Did Madness Have a
Renaissance”
• Conventional treatment of the madwoman
in literature: “still lovely in ruin” or eroticized
by both men and women writers
Recognizing this historical tendency may lead
to a stronger recognition of the distinctively
female implications of madness as a theme.
IT’S CALLED THE
25. AND LANGUAGE USE
• Associating certain qualities with men
(reason) and women (emotion or even
madness)
• Masculine interpretations of the differences
between men and women (Scull)
• Females = smaller brains, less rational, more
emotional (Scull)
• Gendered theorizing about madness +
treatments for madness (Scull)
• Who does the labeling?
• Privileging the male and disempowering the
female
26. A CULTURAL+SOCIAL
• ‘mad’ = imprecise; common; refers to real
conditions
• differing images and characteristics of
‘madwomen’ in history (from the female
‘hysteric’ to the more scientific approaches)
“Mental disorder is not just a social label,
although many aspects of a culture impinge on
its definition.” (Neely 778)
CONSTRUCTION?
27. --A CONSEQUENCE OF
For Gilbert and Gubar:
• Madness as a symptom of women’s own
feelings of entrapment and oppression
• Madness as a condition of all women
• The madwoman as a figure of rage, not
having any power to alleviate her suffering
or to express it in terms that make sense to
society
PATRIARCHY?
28. --A CONSEQUENCE OF
Valerie Beattie argues that although madness
provides feminists with an essential metaphor in
a theory of female subversion of patriarchy,
Gilbert and Gubar resort to the binaries of the
angel and monster which they sought to
counter. Some scholars, according to Beattie,
tend to replicate ideologically problematic
attitudes based on the era. For example, Gilbert
and Gubar’s book, which has a focus on the
19th century, replicated this era’s problematic
paradigm.
PATRIARCHY?
29. --A CONSEQUENCE OF
Elizabeth Donaldson also advocates for
connecting madness and mental illness, since,
she argues, “this distinction between ‘madness
as a metaphor, not mental illness in the clinical
sense’ is impossible to maintain.” According to
Donaldson, fictional representations of madness
have a way of influencing clinical discourses of
mental illness and vice versa. She cites Elaine
Showalter’s account on the figure of Bertha
Mason influencing medical accounts of female
insanity.
PATRIARCHY?
30. IN WOMEN/MEN
• Witches, the bewitched, and the possessed
as predominantly female (Neely)
• Lovesickness as coded male in the Middle
Ages but is now associated with females;
wandering womb = unsatisfied sexual
desire; melancholy as an ailment of upper-
class men (Neely)
• Even suicide is gendered
• Male: conflict between the masculine ideal
created in one’s fiction + a heroic act
• Female: desperation, depression, neurosis
32. DOUBLY
• A madwoman has doubly subversive
literary potential
• ‘mad’ + ‘woman’ =
disturbs the meaning of male writing;
disrupts female writing
• The ‘madwoman’, with her experience,
moves away from: (a) conventional ways of
seeing the world, and (b) using language
THE
33. IN WOMEN’S WRITING
• Women writers who write about madness
are keenly aware of the pain of insanity and
the specific psychological pressures exerted
on women. These writers all resist the
conventional depiction of madness as a
consequence of unstable femininity.
• Showalter, in The Female Malady, suggests
that madness is the price women artists
have had to pay for the exercise of their
creativity in a male-dominated culture.
34. IN WOMEN’S WRITING
• Madness as immediate and personal for
female writers; coming from firsthand
experience (Mary Wollstonecraft, Virginia
Woolf, Charlotte Bronte, Sylvia Plath, Anne
Sexton)
35. • male writers who write about insanity/madness: interpreted for a
work’s historical context rather than being telling of the male desire
for control, for instance
