The view from a Chinese asylum: Defining madness in 1930s Peking. - 417 p.

Thesis (Ph.D.)--Harvard University, 1995.

My aim in this dissertation is to answer one question: how did competing agencies in Chinese society define insanity during the 1930s? Put another way, how was insanity articulated, to what end, and what can this reveal about Peking society during the tumultuous 1930s? I view the problem from distinct angles, from the feigning of madness as escape to the emergence of modern sexual culture; from the policing of deviance to the intrusion of politics on the medical imagination of the period. While each chapter concentrates on a particular theme, the approach is focused by a single lens: the odyssey of the psychiatric patient through an intricate system of incarceration, diagnosis, and treatment that centered on Peking's psychiatric hospitals. For sources I use psychiatric case histories and the new magazines, literary journals, and newspapers that Republican period city dwellers voraciously consumed.Subjects--Topical Terms:
