Date 日期:  20 Nov 2015
 
Time 時間: 12:30pm - 1:30pm
 
Venue 地點: Gatherland 2046, 2/F, Pao Siu Loong Building
 
Speaker(s) 講師: 吳易叡博士

Dr. Harry Yi-Jui Wu
Medical Ethics and Humanities Unit, Li Ka Shing Faculty of Medicine, HKU
 
Summary 內容: 作家吳爾芙說:「我可以對你保證,瘋狂實在是太棒了……它宣說了所有被形塑的事物,不像理智的人講的話那麼支離破碎。」從存在與否依舊存疑的「大監禁」講起,這場短講簡單解析從法國的啟蒙時期開始,瘋狂如何在各種文化之中理性化的過程裡被消音的過程,也將介紹若干經典「瘋人」的敘事和創作,以及「他們」和「我們」的關聯。

講座亦會介紹愛慕劇團(台灣)製作的《4.48精神崩潰》。作品以片段式結構取代角色與情節,呈現精神病患者承受心理治療之苦與面對社會正常化的暴力過程 。

Dr. Harry Yi-Jui Wu will talk about the relationship between mind and creativity through introduction of creative works by the mad.  
Language: Putonghua (Simultaneous interpretation in English will be provided upon request by 13 Nov.)
