Female Madness and the Feminine Monstrous: Genre as Confinement and Genre as Affective Repository
Abstract:This essay addresses the period of the second half of the nineteenth century, in which the genre of belief legends plays a key role in understanding the mechanisms of ideology and its repercussions on the interconnectedness of madness, the monstrous and the feminine in the social and cultural context, in which different types of women's transgressions are more often and more severely sanctioned, thus affecting the psychiatric discourse. Using archival material from the first psychiatric institution in Croatia, the article interrogates the role of a specific type of female patient narratives featuring demonological beings, called belief legends by folklore studies, and their fundamental discursive incompatibility with psychiatric, scientific, rational and male discourse, which interprets belief legends simply as a symptom of madness.
期刊介绍:
Narrative Culture is a new journal that conceptualizes narration as a broad and pervasive human practice, warranting a holistic perspective that grasps the place of narrative comparatively across time and space. The journal invites contributions that document, discuss and theorize narrative culture, and offers a platform that integrates approaches spread across various disciplines. The field of narrative culture thus outlined is defined by a large variety of forms of popular narratives, including not only oral and written texts, but also narratives in images, three-dimensional art, customs, rituals, drama, dance, music, and so forth. Narrative Culture is peer-reviewed and international as well as interdisciplinary in orientation.
