520 0 Publisher description for Bipolar expeditions : mania and
depression in American culture / Emily Martin. Manic
behavior holds an undeniable fascination in American
culture today. It fuels the plots of best-selling novels
and the imagery of MTV videos, is acknowledged as the
driving force for successful entrepreneurs like Ted Turner,
and is celebrated as the source of the creativity of
artists like Vincent Van Gogh and movie stars like Robin
Williams. Bipolar Expeditions seeks to understand mania's
appeal and how it weighs on the lives of Americans
diagnosed with manic depression. Anthropologist Emily
Martin guides us into the fascinating and sometimes
disturbing worlds of mental-health support groups, mood
charts, psychiatric rounds, the pharmaceutical industry,
and psychotropic drugs. Charting how these worlds
intersect with the wider popular culture, she reveals how
people living under the description of bipolar disorder
are often denied the status of being fully human, even
while contemporary America exhibits a powerful affinity
for manic behavior. Mania, Martin shows, has come to be
regarded as a distant frontier that invites exploration
because it seems to offer fame and profits to pioneers,
while depression is imagined as something that should be
eliminated altogether with the help of drugs. Bipolar
Expeditions argues that mania and depression have a
cultural life outside the confines of diagnosis, that the
experiences of people living with bipolar disorder belong
fully to the human condition, and that even the most so-
called rational everyday practices are intertwined with
irrational ones.
