HUM-4900AG: Divine Madness: Spirituality and Psychos

This workshop critically considers the relation between spiritual experience and madness; carefully unpacking both similarities and differences between the two; while situating both within the broader context of the cultural politics of consciousness and the ongoing valuing and devaluing of various forms of alternate consciousness. Specific attention will be given to the spiritual/psychotic paradox: two types of experience defined, in part, as having opposing effects, yet closely enough related as to possibly suggest a common underlying process; while coming to an understanding of what is at stake in this for both religion/spirituality and psychology/psychopathology.
