intrapersonal violence vs. the dead state vs. self-harm as a way to focus, ecstatic giving up of the everyday mechanics of control to a ritual. an excess of blood, pain, going further then one intends, determining the time to stop

Initial Outline Notes:
2. History
Fourcualt
Summary of madness, unreason, confinement
unreason as a moral, economic category. who acts outside their interests as determined by social production
the body of the madman--stronger, more resilient, the ice cure
humors, fibers, fluids, various diagrams of the body-soul (chapter 3, passion)
Madness, epistemology, and affirmation
responses evolved
confinement at liminal spaces--entrances, boats
leprosy hospitals, between courts and police
conflation of criminal, wastoids, homeless, insane--but the insane had a special place in the umbra of unreason, demonstration rather then scandal, testified to itself
occupy time and be productive.
the mad beast--tamed, not returned to humanity but affirmed the beast
whereas madness had been internal to humanity, see the madness of the passion
^not self-interested, but the architecture of the mind
Millard
victorian
pre war, suicide
pseudocide, beginning of the social
gestures, manipulation
army hospital--war state
present social conditions, past social traumas
shift from criminal to the patient, the recipient--the welfare state
difficult patients, attention seeking, epidemics of harm (see american study)
affect regulation and biomedicalism, — neoliberal state
conclusion: the importance of new ways of thinking, but not concerned with incorporating the experience of patients
more about communication
prokelaktics, social life of knowledge (see fn. 13, lit review 4, on a heterodox position within the social model)
counter - perspectives: mental illness vs communication (Szasz). one doesn’t know what they say?
--being sane?,
end with a note about uneven flow of ideas around self-harm--A&E worker study
////
3. common theme: self-interest
this is where I should bring in the marxists on alienation…
Schmitt’s idea of friend-enemy
Mahmood?
-the myth of sanity? the divided self? on the internal pluralism.
develop the idea of intrapersonal violence as a counter notion to self harm
4. non-self interested self-harm
Can the subaltern speak, can we explain why we self harm without reference to self-interest…
feeling real, being productive, helping others
what does political theory mean to self-harm
