Where Is Her Mind? Space, Feminism and Madness in Plays by Sarah Daniels and Sarah Kane (original) (raw)

Performing Psychologies, 2019

Abstract

This chapter responds to Anna Harpin's invitation to trace the cultural context of psychiatric space through their artistic representation by drawing attention to the particularly gendered articulation of certain cultural understandings of madness. It offers a reading of plays by Sarah Daniels and Sarah Kane, drawing attention to their divergent perspectives on the 'Care in the Community' programme of deinstitutionalization, and attending to the permeable nature of the spaces and concepts which shape our understanding of both gender and madness.
