Making Thought Visible

By O'Reilly, Julie D.

0 - Default Title
Description
For viewers who experience autism, bipolar disorder, depression, obsessive-compulsive disorder or other cognitive variations, television storytelling offers opportunities to empathize with characters portraying neurodiversity. In this first collection of its kind, contributors analyze television's increasing attempts to make thought--how individuals process the world around them--visible. Examined themes include the muting of neurodiverse voices, madness as power, diagnosis vs. lived experience, dual diagnosis, reactions to ""atypical"" behaviors, the cultivation of attitudes towards autistic individuals, and translanguaging across global series. Programs include Young Sheldon, The Good Doctor, Legion, the Star Trek universe, Euphoria, True Detective, Girls, Bungo Stray Dogs, and Love on the Spectrum. Varied theoretical and methodological approaches and attention to the quality and verisimilitude of neurodiverse representations result in an appropriately complex analysis.
