About the Book
Hypothesizing fictional remediation, Replicate This upends generic trappings of melodrama for citation. In consort with that edict to "always historicize," a lit review incorporates classic scholarship in 'dead languages' plus experimental apparatus situating reporting on IRB (Institutional Review Board). It reviews paradigms like intersectionality no less than field celebrities Lauretta Bender, Gregory Bateson, Thomas Szasz, and Frantz Fanon. Why transpose what proliferated as cultural theory after the 1975 Schizo-Culture conference organized by Holocaust survivor Sylvère Lotringer? Because literature's 'writer's writer,' Henry James (1843-1916) was brother to "the father of American psychology!" To consider intellectual bifurcation institutional fractalism differentiates will from power: whether homo academicus merits patient status queries perspective, especially after university consolidation of arts and letters. But examining psychiatric subjects' indifference to what mass media casts "upward mobility" may be problematized thanks to "Cruel Optimism" wherein pursuit of the good life is, paradoxically and precisely, what undermines flourishing. Yet alongside Bateson Lauren Berlant's 2011 classic makes her contribution to Duke University Press after the Sokal Hoax defeated humanistic claims on public discourse resemble recapitulation, begging employed Literary Historians to comment on their mandate of psychiatric subjectification. At least for paper's sake? Seriously intending to be the last word on “schizophrenia,” maybe even use, Replicate This subverts self-help.
