Schreber Live! Michelle Castaneda “Dipping the Game”
Schreber’s concepts and voices appear, disappear, cajole, incite, and command according to their own individualized logics.

The play text is based on Schreber’s language (half-digested by the stomach acids of Susan Lo...

Schreber Live! Emma Lieber “Bellowing Presidents”
How are presidents nominated and named? How do they speak? I will argue that Trump’s language is far more confined than the supposedly psychotic productions of Schreber. In fact, compared to Schreber, Trump’s language is a prison of linguistic confinement.

“Our analysis tries to avoid the trap of analyzing Trump in order to follow the precise Trump logic set out in his full-page newspaper advertisement, on its own terms. Since this advertisement contains a rare example of Trump explicitly writing about psychoanalyzing, we abandon the many fruitless attempts to psychoanalyze Trump and instead use it as the basis for examining the conditions by ...
