It argues that metaphors of madness rise to popularity amidst the domestic struggles of the early Cold War and become a pre-eminent way of understanding the relationship between politics and culture in the United States. In linking the individual psyche to society, psychopathology contributes to issues central to post-World War II society: a dramatic extension of state power, the fate of the individual in bureaucratic society, the political function of emotions, and the limits to admissible dissent. Such vocabulary may accuse opponents of being crazy. Yet at stake is a fundamental error of judgment, for which madness provides welcome metaphors across US diplomacy and psychiatry, social movements and criticism, literature and film. In the process, major parties and whole historical eras, literary movements and social groups are declared insane. Reacting against violence at home and war abroad, countercultural authors oppose a sane madness to irrational reason--romanticizing the wisdom of the schizophrenic and paranoia's superior insight. As the Sixties give way to a plurality of lifestyles an alternative vision arrives: of a madness now become so widespread and ordinary that it may, finally, escape pathology"--Provided by publisher. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references and index. 505 0 $a Introduction: Cold War Madness -- The Pathologies of Dissent : Constructing the Cold War Psyche -- Practical Cures : From Radical Psychiatry to Self Help -- A Sane Madness? : Psychosis and Cold War Countercultures -- Paranoid Narrative : Writing the Secret History of the Cold War -- A Schizophrenic Postmodernity : Literary Studies and the Politics of Critique. 651 0 $a United States $x Politics and government $y 1945-1989. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85140467 650 0 $a Cold War $x History $z United States $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Psychoses $x History $z United States $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Metaphor $x History $z United States $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Politics and culture $z United States $x History $y 20th century. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2010107226 650 0 $a Cold War $x Social aspects $z United States. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2009120578 650 0 $a Psychoses $x History $z United States $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Popular culture $z United States $x History $y 20th century. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2008109606 650 0 $a Counterculture $z United States $x History $y 20th century. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2009122128 651 0 $a United States $x Social conditions $y 1945- $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85140518 776 08 $i Online version: $a Dunst, Alexander, 1980- author. $t Madness in Cold War America. $d New York : Routledge, 2017 $z 9781315668338 $w (DLC) 2016019711 830 0 $a Routledge studies in cultural history ; $v 46. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/no2001047941 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20191210014337.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=242AF1FAFCE811E799AF106097128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
