Mad Studies Praxis

1. Mad Studies praxis builds from its historicity. Perhaps the most important piece that often gets overlooked in patient/peer projects is attention to the history that informs the foundations on which these projects stand. Understanding the wide-ranging history of the Mad community and its fight for liberation is core to the Mad Studies genealogy. In turn, Mad Studies praxis centers Mad peoples’ voices and knowledge(s), including historical knowledge and the socio-political contexts in which this knowledge emerged. This does not mean that those who don’t identify as Mad can’t do Mad Studies, but rather that the canon of knowledge that defines the field has been (and should continue to be) generated by Mad people, and should build upon this genealogy. 2. Mad Studies praxis differentiates academic work from intellectual work, and values intellectual work that happens in community and other non-academic spaces. The reading, researching and other routines of an academic (Mad scholar) are not preeminent forms of knowledge and are not in and of themselves the same as intellectual work. What we mean by intellectual work includes the work that is about the collective labour of naming, theorizing (generation of ideas and making connections between ideas), teaching and continuous reflexivity about one’s position in relation to sanism and other forms of structural injustice. Through this lens, intellectual work happens in academia, or in community activism, art, care and in cultural work (among other spaces). 3. Mad Studies praxis is emancipatory. That is, it takes up as its explicit aim the dismantling of systems of structural power, and while it may centersanism, it is attentive to its inherent intersections with racism, sexism, classism, heterosexism, transphobia and ableism. Thus, our Mad Studies praxis seeks to make transparent with some precision how dominant medical, legal and academic paradigms lead and re-perpetuate injustice, carcerality, inequity and marginalization. It addresses and unpacks dominant claims, evidence and the existing hegemonic order. It also analyses the ways in which service users/survivors have at times been made complicit in psychiatric logics, and in so doing, have erased or compromised history and human rights. 4. Mad Studies praxis is critical. It doesn’t hesitate and is unequivocal about its right to exist. While various systems or institutions may claim sincerity in respect to inclusion and engagement, Mad Studies theory is habitually resisted and alienated from these same projects claiming to be about inclusion or engagement. When professionals, particularly in clinical contexts, speak about “teamwork” or “interdisciplinary” work, they often mean any discipline except Mad Studies. As such, Mad Studies praxis works to make these systems of power visible and works on steps that specifically lead to a revolution and change in the conditions that generate suppression, exploitation and exclusion of Mad Studies theory itself. Our goal is not to be favourable to, or convince prejudicial systems, psychiatrists, or paraprofessionals to accept all our terms but to make the conditions of aversion, erasure, hatred and violence less viable.

Meet The Forgotten

Sempre no meio dos populares, esse era o seu lugar. Você estava lá, junto da nata da UCLA, mas assim que todos se formaram, todos esqueceram da sua existência ou passaram a ignorar suas ligações para tomar uns drinks. Nenhum deles pôde ver o sucesso que você se tornou depois da formatura. A vantagem de voltar a 2014, é que você sabe como o seu futuro vai ser, com essa informação fica muito mais fácil reconquistar tudo o que você perdeu e mostrar que seus colegas o erro de o terem subestimado.

Connections

The Liar e The Forgotten costumavam dividir o dormitório em 2014

A família de The Heir é bastante próxima da família de The Forgotten

The Lothario e The Forgotten eram amigos em 2014.

Inspirações

Noah Puckerman (Glee), Ross Geller (Friends), Lori Grimes (TWD), Bella Swan (Twilight), Christian Grey (50 Tons de Cinza), Elena Gilbert (TVD).

Superman: The Secret Years (vol. 1) #3: Terminus

Read Date: May 18, 2023 Cover Date: April 1985 ● Writer: Bob Rozakis ● Penciler: Curt Swan ● Inker: Kurt Schaffenberger ● Colorist: Tom Ziuko ● Letterer: John Costanza ● Editor: Julius Schwartz ◦ E. Nelson Bridwell ●

**HERE BE SPOILERS: Skip ahead to the fan art/podcast to avoid spoilers

Reactions As I Read: ● teenage/early 20s Superman, I’m guessing? going by Superboy ● is Billy abusing whistle privileges? ● heheh, Pete and Billy both “accidentally” spilling something on Clark to give him a chance to make his escape to be Superboy is kinda adorbs ● and this, kids, is why fireworks stores are placed outside of city limits

● this makes me want to watch the 80s movie Splash. I bet it doesn’t hold up all that great, but I loved it when I was a kid! ● oof, that’s sad ● 👏👏👏👏

Synopsis: Pete Ross comes to Metropolis University for a visit. Clark Kent learns that the girl he loves, Lori Lemaris, is a mermaid just before she returns to Atlantis (and learns that she knows he is Superboy). And, Superboy, taking care of an emergency elsewhere, is unable to save his roommate Billy Cramer from dying in a building fire.

2023 Reading Challenges - It's A Wrap!

2023 Reading Challenges - It's A Wrap!

I am jumping the gun a little bit by posting this today. So, I have included the two books I will complete by the end of the week. I am thrilled that I actually completed all, even exceeded some of the reading challenges I committed to this year. It's amazing what you can accomplish when your body stays reasonably healthy.

Novo Filme de Herbert Ross Vai te Fazer Dançar

Estreia nos cinemas o filme Footlose do diretor Herbert Ross. O filme conta a história de Ren McCormack (Kevin Bacon), que se muda de Chicago para uma pequena cidade no interior dos Estados Unidos. Ren fica em choque quando descobre que dançar e rock’n roll se tornou ilegal na cidade após um tragico acidente envolvendo a filha do pastor, Shaw Moore (John Lithgow). Enquanto tenta se adaptar na pequena cidade, Ren enfrenta uma difícil batalha para mudar as coisas. Junto de seu amigo Willard Hewitt (Christopher Penn) e da jovem Ariel Moore (Lori Singer), eles tentam mudar o jeito da cidade tão conservadora. O romance adolecente traz um elenco interessante que conta com Sarah Jessica Parker, e Kevin Bacon que tem um bom desempenho ao fazer um papel clichê como o mocinho Ren McCormack. Além disso, o filme conta com uma trilha sonora excelente, com a música título já fazendo sucesso nas rádios.

All I Desire

The soap runs deep in Douglas Sirk’s ALL I DESIRE (1953, Criterion), but with Sirk at the helm and Barbara Stanwyck starring, it’s pretty much irresistible. The plot, in which Stanwyck returns to the family she had deserted ten years earlier when she went on stage to escape a potential scandal, is pretty silly. But it gives Stanwyck enough truth to do something with scenes in which she attempts to make amends to her children (including Billy Gray, who made me cry) and husband (Richard Carlson) and lay to rest her affair with another man (Lyle Bettger, who had made his screen debut as her rotten lover in 1950’s NO MAN OF HER OWN). Sirk shoots it all beautifully, with lots of dark shadows (Carl E. Guthrie was the cinematographer) and very creative use of levels, particularly around the staircase in the family home (the passage to the family’s private world). It’s also one of his first attempts to use melodrama as a subversive tool, interrogating the nature of family roles and small-town morality. The show isn’t all Stanwyck. Richard Long is charming as the elder daughter’s fiancé, Lotte Stein scores as the housekeeper, and Maureen O’Sullivan performs an acting miracle by making it seem she lusts after Carlson, who’s about as exciting as an unseasoned lump of mashed cauliflower. The film also has terrific production values, thanks to producer Ross Hunter, working on his second film as full producer, his second with Sirk and their first collaboration on a soap opera. At one point, Stanwyck’s younger daughter (Lori Nelson) asks her mother to demonstrate her acting skills and hands her a copy of Elizabeth Barrett Browning. Stanwyck’s reading of Sonnet 43 (“How Do I Love Thee), as shot by Sirk, is the film’s one totally exquisite scene. It functions as a kind of emotional nexus, capturing her re-emergent feelings for the family as closeups show the reading’s effect of each of them. I couldn’t help wondering what it would have been like had Hunter and Ross cast Stanwyck in their first big hit, MAGNIFICENT OBSESSION (1954), instead of Jane Wyman. Objectively it probably would have been a better picture, but would it have become a cult favorite? Watch for bits as students by Brett Halsey, Stuart Whitman and Guy Williams.

This year -- put a Book on EVERY Bed

This year: put a Book on EVERY Bed

By “Ask Amy” advice columnist Amy Dickinson

10 December, 2020

Dear Readers: Every year at Christmastime, I delight in promoting a Book on Every Bed. I do so in memory of my mother, Jane, who raised her children to understand that if you have a book, you are never alone.

The idea originally came from historian David McCollough, who recounted the Christmas mornings of his youth, when the very first thing he woke up to was a wrapped book at the base of his bed, left there by Santa.

The most important part is what happens next: Family members reading together.

That’s it! That’s the whole idea!

Over the last ten years, working with my local literacy partner Children’s Reading Connection (childrensreadingconnection.org), this campaign has grown to include schools, libraries and bookstores, who have donated scores of books to families that might not have access to them. The goal – and our dream – is that families will experience the intimate and personal connection of diving into and sharing stories, the way my mother and I did throughout her life.

Over the years, important literacy advocates, such as the Librarian of Congress Carla Hayden and LeVar Burton, and bestselling children’s authors Brad Meltzer and Peter Reynolds, have endorsed and helped to spread the good word.

This year is different. So many of us are alone, hurting, and separated from family and familiar holiday routines.

All of us – not just children – need a good book on our beds.

I have broadened the scope to include specific recommendations for books spanning all ages. I’ve reached out to some of my favorite writers, literacy advocates, and independent booksellers across the country for their special picks.

Whether you purchase a book or share an old favorite, I hope you will be inspired to put A Book on Every Bed this year. It is not necessary to make a Christmas deadline – this idea is one to sustain people throughout what might shape up to be a very long winter.

Following are recommendations for all age groups.

Baby and Toddlers: From Brigid Hubberman, Children’s Reading Connection, Ithaca, NY (childrensreadingconnection.org):

“Words are the language of love for babies.  The best books for infants should be about the world they know. Parents should choose books to surround babies with an abundance of loving and delightful words.”

Baby Cakes, by Karma Wilson and Sam Williams

Haiku Baby, by Betsy E. Snyder

Shine Baby Shine, by Leslie Staub and Lori Nichols

Ages 3-5: From Lisa Swaze, Buffalo Street Books, Ithaca, NY (Buffalostreetbooks.com)

“If You Come to Earth,” by Sophie Blackall is one of my favorite picture books of 2020. This book is beautiful both visually and lyrically, and it will feel like a warm hug to any child or family who receives it.

“You Matter,” by Christian Robinson is a bright and elegant book that takes children on a journey around the world to make it clear that everyone matters, and perhaps more importantly, reassure them that they matter, no matter what they look like or where they are from.

Early Readers: From Sandra Dear, owner of The Little Boho Bookshop, in Bayonne, NJ (thelittlebohobookshop.com)

“The Suitcase,” by Chris Naylor-Ballesteros: This beautiful story about immigration, is full of heart and humanity as it teaches our littlest ones about hope, tolerance and kindness.

“Home in the Woods,” by Eliza Wheeler: This stunningly beautiful picture book has fast become a customer favorite. A story about starting over, of overcoming! A story of family, love and joy of being and growing together.

Middle Grade Readers: From Becky Anderson, co-owner of Anderson’s Bookshop, in Naperville, Illinois (andersonsbookshops.com):

“Ways to Make Sunshine,” by Renee Watson: Watson writes her own version of Ramona Quimby, one starring a Black girl and her family, in this start to a charming new middle grade series about spirit, kindness, and sunshine.  Ryan, a fourth grader, finds the positive in difficult situations and when trouble strikes. She is that character to love and bring in the sunshine!  Grades 3-6

Skunk and Badger by Amy Timberlake, illustrated by Jon Klassen: Winnie-the-Pooh and Frog and Toad meet in a fresh take on a classic odd-couple friendship.  Klassen’s illustrations add much to a story of an unlikely friendship that proves that opposites can see the good in one another. The first in a series.  Grades 3-7

“The Silver Arrow,” by Lev Grossman: Kate’s humdrum life is transformed when her eccentric Uncle Herbert brings her a colossal locomotive train, the Silver Arrow, as her eleventh birthday gift, leading her and her younger brother on a mysterious journey.  The train will remind readers of the Hogwart’s Express. A story that is environmentally aware and calls readers to action. Perfect for fans of Roald Dahl and The Chronicles of Narnia.  Grades 3-7

YA Readers: Danielle Kreger, Blue Bunny Books, Dedham, MA (bluebunnybooks.com):  "One of Us is Lying" by Karen M McManus: An edge of your seat mystery that takes place in Bayview High school during detention. Simon, a so-called "outcast," never makes it out of detention alive. What follows is a tale of twists and turns that has the reader questioning the reliability of the characters, and the secrets they keep.

"Burn" by Patrick Ness: A fast-paced young adult fantasy that begins with fifteen-year-old Sarah, who meets Kazimir – a dragon who has been hired to help on her family's farm. Still reeling from the death of her mother, Sarah finds herself feeling an intense and unusual connection with Kazimir. As the story unfolds secrets, dangers and Kazimir's true purpose are revealed.

"The New Kid" by Jerry Craft: A spot-on graphic novel about navigating a new school, new friends and identity. Jordan Banks is in seventh grade when he is sent to a rigorous private school and grapples with staying true to himself- his love for creating cartoons, how to maintain his old friends and how he fits in in a less than diverse new school. A totally lovable and relatable character!

Adult Non-fiction: From Alex George, the author, most recently, of The Paris Hours, founder and director of the Unbound Book Festival, and the owner of Skylark Bookshop, in Columbia, MO (skylarkbookshop.com)

“Wintering,” by Katherine May: This is a deeply personal, quietly beautiful book, written with grace and immense thoughtfulness. We all go through difficult times; by mulling over her responses to her own misfortunes, the author offers insight as to how we might think differently about low points in our lives. Instructive, inspiring, and ultimately profoundly hopeful.

“The Book of Delights,” by Ross Gay: This utterly charming book of micro-essays by Ross Gay, a beloved and renowned poet, is a perfect gift for – well, just about anyone. Gay set himself the challenge of finding one thing that delighted him each day for a year, and then writing about it. The result is a quirky, brilliant book that you can dip in and out of, always finding something to make you smile, and think. A guaranteed lifter of spirits.

“Intimations: Six Essays,” by Zadie Smith: I’ve always loved Zadie Smith’s nonfiction work, and this small but powerful book shows her talents at their finest. Written during the pandemic, these six pieces are sharp, and funny, and thought-provoking. Smith’s deeply personal reflections on this strangest of years is essential reading. If ever there was a book for these strange times, it’s this one.

Adult Fiction: Mark LaFramboise, Senior Book Buyer at Politics and Prose in Washington, DC (politics-prose.com)

“The Butterfly Lampshade,” by Aimee Bender: This is a beautiful story of mental illness, the bonds of sisterhood, and the liveliness of a child's imagination.  Francie is 8 years old when the book begins, the daughter of a single mom.  This is the story of her odyssey after her mother is committed to a mental hospital, and she is sent to be raised by an aunt and uncle.

“Luster,” by Raven Leilani: Edie, the young protagonist in Luster, Raven Leilani's debut novel, is daring, sexy, hilarious, super smart, and drop dead beautiful.  Her affair with a married man takes a turn for the strange when she meets and befriends the man's wife and daughter.  Edie is whip smart because Raven Leilani is whip smart and her voice propels this beguiling novel.

“What Are You Going Through,” by Sigrid Nunez: Sigrid Nunez writes so beautifully that plot feels irrelevant.  The writer's confidence and authority are apparent from the first page.  Ultimately, it's the story of a woman who is asked by an old college acquaintance to be with her when she takes her life, after a cancer diagnosis.  But, like her previous book The Friend (about a woman who inherits a large Great Dane), it doesn't matter what story she tells because her words bristle with life.

Elders: Gayle Shanks, Changing Hands Bookstore, in Tempe and Phoenix, AZ

(changinghands.com)

“Apeirogon,” by Colum McCann: Two fathers, one Palestinian and one Israeli have both lost their young daughters to violence but have decided that reconciliation, not revenge, is what they needed to seek. In the process, they became best friends. McCann describes the insanity and senseless violence bred in the Middle East, the Occupation under which the Palestinians are forced to live, but also the beauty of the country, the migration of birds, the many ways humans overcome adversity and find solace in the natural world and each other. In a series of 1001 fragments, McCann walks us through his imaginary polygon, the Apeirogon of the title, containing an infinite number of sides, an infinite number of gorgeous sentences, and ultimately an infinite number of ways to view the human condition.  

“All the Way to the Tigers,” by Mary Morris: Travel writer Mary Morris’ book, written in small chapters, was in some ways similar to reading Colum McCann's, Aperagon, also written in small bits (in his case 1001, in Mary's -- 112 chapters). Morris travels to India in search of the elusive Bengal tiger, but in so many ways she is searching for herself and her place in the world as she recovers from a serious ankle injury that leaves her debilitated but determined.  

In her short vignettes, she quotes Rilke, Wendell Berry, other writers she admires and reminds us how important it is to listen intently to others as in active listening we are rewarded with deeper understanding.

“The Chair Rocks,” by Ashton Applewhite: From childhood on, we’re barraged by messages that it’s sad to be old. That wrinkles are embarrassing, and old people useless. Author and activist Ashton Applewhite believed them too—until she realized where this prejudice comes from and the damage it does. Lively, funny, and deeply researched, This Chair Rocks traces Applewhite’s journey from apprehensive boomer to pro-aging radical, and in the process debunks myth after myth about late life. The book explains the roots of ageism—in history and in our own age denial. Whether you’re older or hoping to get there, this book will shake you by the shoulders, cheer you up, make you mad, and change the way you see the rest of your life. Age pride!

Mare of Easttown

Mare of Easttown é mais uma série com o selo HBO de qualidade e já surge como uma das grandes favoritas para as premiações de 2022. Com influências de True Detective, Brad Ingelsby consegue entregar um excelente trabalho. Kate Winslet é a estrela principal do show, mas os outros personagens não deixam nada a desejar, cada um apresentando um pano de fundo riquíssimo para a série.

A série começa apresentando a vida cotidiana da detetive Mare Sheehan (Winslet), cujo filho cometeu suicídio e ela luta pela custódia do neto, enquanto lida com os problemas da vizinhança, um caso não-resolvido do desaparecimento de uma jovem e o assassinato de outra adolescente, que será a principal linha narrativa. Aos poucos, a série se encarrega de apresentar os demais personagens, como o jovem investigador de outra cidade Colin Zabel (Evan Peters), o escritor Richard (Guy Pearce), que tenta ser um interesse amoroso, mas aqui não cabe isso para a personagem de Winslet e para Easttown.

Mare of Easttown acerta tanto nas reviravoltas quanto no arco de Mare e diferente de outras produções do gênero, os demais personagens que aparecem nem sempre fazem parte da lista de suspeitos.

Por exemplo, as personagens Lori Ross (Julianne Nicholson), Beth Hanlon (Chinasa Ogbuagu) e Jean Smart, que rouba a cena toda vez que aparece, similar a Watchmen, interpretando a mãe da protagonista, ela funciona tanto para ser o porto seguro de Mare (embora as duas tenham alguns problemas) quanto o alívio cômico.

Nos últimos episódios, a série consegue acelerar e não perder qualidade narrativa, pois a empatia construída ao longo dos episódios pelos personagens, torna difícil o julgamento de quem é o verdadeiro culpado. Mare of Easttown com certeza entrará para o hall de séries que não importe quanto tempo passe, ela não perderá qualidade e deverá ser usada como exemplo para séries futuras do gênero.

NOTA DO CRÍTICO: 10/10

Spectral Realms, No. 13, edited by S.T. Joshi, Hippocampus Press, Summer 2020. Cover art and design by Daniel V. Sauer, info: hippocampuspress.com.

This thirteenth issue of Spectral Realms once again features many of the leading poets of our era—Richard L. Tierney, Ann K. Schwader, Adam Bolivar, Frank Coffman, Wade German, Leigh Blackmore, and K.A. Opperman. Several writers better known for their fiction—Darrell Schweitzer, Nicole Cushing, David Barker, Curtis M. Lawson, and Don Webb—contribute poetry of metrical precision and terrifying potency. Scott J. Couturier evokes the shade of William Hope Hodgson in “Amongst the Sargasso,” while Adele Gardner writes an acrostic dedicated to Poe in “Nevermore.” Among our prose poets, Maxwell I. Gold again stands out in his signature issue—the mingling of weirdness and technology. Manuel Pérez-Campos’s “After Verdun” evokes the horrors of war. Spectral Realms is now attracting an international cast of contributors. From Singapore, Christina Sng has long graced our pages, and here she is joined by Ngo Binh Anh Khoa from Vietnam, Andrey Pissantchev from Russia, and Tatiana Strange from Germany. The classic reprints feature poems by two colleagues of H.P. Lovecaft, R.H. Barlow and Arthur Goodenough. Donald Sidney-Fryer supplies an extensive review of David E. Schultz’s landmark edition of the work of Leah Bodine Drake.
