Narrative Psychiatry in Tension: Reading Twenty-First-Century Schizophre nia Memoirs Across Cultures
Guest lecture by David Lombard, Leuven Universitet
October 1 from 14:30 to 15:30
CML meeting room (Ø20-405-1)
This talk examines how twenty-first-century schizophrenia memoirs negotiate and compli cate psychiatric understandings of schizophre nia through representations of lived experience. Focusing on Clem and Olivier Martini’s Bitter Medicine (2010), Polo Tonka’s Dialogue avec moi-même (2013), and Josie Méndez-Negrete’s A Life on Hold (2015), it explores how forms of memoir—graphic, tes timonial, parental, and autoethnographic— from different contexts—Canadian, U.S., and French—foreground diverse experiential, affec tive, and embodied epistemologies that chal lenge or complement clinical knowledge. Bringing narrative psychiatry into dialogue with Mad Studies, the talk considers how cultural ly situated memoirs both unsettle psychiatric descriptions and expand our understanding of schizophrenia.
