Abstract:
Sanity is what society projects it to be, and which isn't true always. Ken Kesey’s novel, One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest stands against the institutionalised mental illness in hospitals. The novel can be analysed as a metaphor of nineteenth century America when asylums were a place where non-conformists of the society are sent to. Foucault's Madness and Civilization discusses these notions clearly along with the interconnected themes of power, insanity and rebellion. The patients in the asylum may seem insane, but the idea of insanity is often misinterpreted and misrepresented by the society Madness is connected to correction rather than sickness. Therefore, the techniques used to heal the illness are far more unethical. This paper is an observation of insanity or madness in the society. It also unravels the concept of ‘unreason’ by Foucault in Kesey’s One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest. The social and historic reading of the whole text explores Anti-Conformism (Beat Generation) and Counter Culture Movement (Hippie-culture) in America i.e, Individual v/s Society.

Abstract:
As the media report instances of vanished or violated selves — of bodies that disappear and identities that are stolen; of sex changes and sexually ambiguous bodies (the adulated bodies of rock stars); raped bodies and the promise or threat of replicated bodies — the happy endings of fairy tales, and the tales themselves, seem fanciful and remote, irrelevant to our times. They may enthrall a child who is not yet playing video games, but what attraction, if any, can they have for adults coping with the complexities of a technological world in which identity is linked to an unsecured alterable body? I raise the question not to argue its irrelevance (surely a pointless undertaking), but to evoke the heuristic values attributed generally to fairy tales by folklorists and cultural critics throughout the Western world. I wish to make a specific claim: fairy tales — in particular, the changeling tale — provide unexpected and timely insights into a self increasingly vulnerable to tampering, violation, and theft. These various forms of violence are subsumable under rape in its root meaning: forcible seizure. As an assault upon women, rape raises particular issues about the body and sex, sexual difference, and power. The very meanings of these terms — how they are constituted and denned — have become a matter of contention to contemporary feminists and cultural, literary, and juridical critics. Though this essay does not engage directly in their disputes, it too finds the body, sex, and power contentious terms as they figure in a forcible exchange of identities that fairy tales represent as actual and modern fiction adumbrates as rape.

Abstract:
The research objective was to study the negative emotional background as a component of the linguistic world image in "One Flew over the Cuckoo’s Nest" by Ken Kesey. The research featured the lexical means that make up the emotional background of the novel. The author used field method and the method of vocabulary definitions, as well as componential, linguistic, and contextual analyses. The field method and the componential analysis helped to structure the linguistic world image of the work according to invariant lexical meanings. "Negative emotion" appeared to be the archiseme of the text. The nuclear elements of the linguistic world image were formed with the vocabulary of emotions. They were united into three groups: fear, rage, and hate. The peripheral elements were represented by emotional vocabulary. They displayed ways of expressing and perceiving emotions, as well as mental and emotional conditions. The characters of Nurse Ratched, Randle McMurphy, patients, and asylum personnel were the denotative universals of the novel. Methods of vocabulary definitions, linguistic comparison, and contextual analysis revealed the meaning structure of the lexical units and specific features of the emotional background. The linguistic reality created by K. Kesey proved to be based on antithesis. Emotive text elements did not merely express the archiseme "negative emotion" but could also be united into groups with opposite semantic features, which made the text more vivid and emotional. The research results can be used in professional linguistic studies and university courses.

Abstract:
L’américanité est abordée au moyen d’une vision intérieure à l’Amérique elle-même, telle que définie par son auto-représentation dans un corpus filmique bien précis, le film d’Indien, et par son traitement d’une altérité qui l’habite, celle de l’indianité. L’analyse se fait à travers un film, le célèbre One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest de Milos Forman. L’étude des éléments déterminants pour l’identification de la catégorie de personnage démontre que si le film n’est pas un western, l’utilisation du modèle du western et du réseau normatif qu’on peut en abstraire permet de déceler des liens structuraux indéniables quant à la représentation de l’Indien.

Abstract:
The demise of America's state mental hospital system, or “deinstitutionalization,” has received much attention from sociologists and historians of medicine. Less understood is the manner in which the public experienced and came to terms with it. Using elements of folklore and horror studies, I will examine how popular films accommodated audiences to institutional decline and confirmed popular antistatist pessimism. The Exorcist (1973), One Flew over the Cuckoo's Nest (1975), Halloween (1978), and When a Stranger Calls (1979) helped weave a tapestry of distrust. By endorsing popular conceptions of institutional failure and presenting mythical narratives of individualist triumph, these films helped pave a path towards the conservative Reagan era to come.

Abstract:
In this article, we devote ourselves to the task of reconceptualizing agency in the public criminology movement. We develop an imaginative political framework to circumvent the relational tensions currently ensnaring public criminology discourse. Employing the psychoanalytic theory of Slavoj Žižek, we engage the public criminology literature and its agential-activist notion of political engagement to reveal three primary directives dismissive of alternative praxes of resistance: faith in the State and public, hypocrisy eschewal, and legitimacy. By invoking the distinction between these modes of political engagement through the “fictional social realities” depicted in Ken Kesey’s One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest, we provide insights into how public criminologists can overcome concerns occluding other modes of “going public.” With such a move, we believe that public criminology’s capacity to “translate crime scholarship out of the academy” will evolve and become open to the possibility that “doing nothing” is more effective than may first appear.

Pueden localizarse elementos de la película que caracterizan las instituciones modernas en sentido foucaultiano, especialmente aquellas educativas, así como la presencia de diferentes técnicas y strategias racionales del poder sobre el cuerpo de los internos de un hospital psiquiátrico. El análisis de este largometraje ficcional permite reflexionar acerca de los discursos y practicas disciplinares y biopolíticas que se ejercen sobre los sujetos y sus cuerpos, observando de qué formas es posible resistir a ellas dentro deun dispositivo biopolítico.

Abstract:
This article is based on a comparative thematic analysis of two novels that explore the experiences of institutional psychiatric care. Ken Kesey’s 1962 novel One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest is a classic of modern U.S. literature. It is argued here that Kesey’s representation of the “psychiatric patient” as rebel was not only a reflection of some the changing societal attitudes in postwar America, but it also helped to shape them. The challenge to the asylum system was thus cast in terms of questions of the civil rights of a marginalized group. The main themes of the novel reflect those of protesters against the abuses of the asylum system—the poor physical conditions, the social isolation of the patients, poor physical care and abuse, and the use of ECT and psychosurgery. The rebellious spirit of Kesey’s work is contrasted with a recent novel—Nathan Filer’s 2012 award-winning The Shock of the Fall. In Filer’s work, the optimism and challenge to authority has dissipated to be replaced by a resigned fatalism reflecting the current crisis in mental health services.

Nineteen Eighty-Four (1949), George Orwell’s political satire on state surveillance and mind control, was written between 1946 and 1948, at a time when new thinking in forensic psychiatry coincided with scientific breakthroughs in neurology to bring questions of criminality, psychotherapy and mental health to the forefront of the popular imagination. This paper examines how Nineteen Eighty-Four inverts psychiatric paradigms in order to diagnose what Orwell sees as the madness of totalitarian regimes. It then goes on to place the novel’s dystopian vision of total surveillance and mind control in the context of the neurological research and brain scanning techniques of the mid-20th century. Not only does this context provide new insight into the enduring power of Orwell’s novel, it also locates it within a historical moment when technological interventions into the brain seemed to offer a paradigm of mental health and illness as a simple, knowable binary. Nineteen Eighty-Four complicates this binary, and deserves to be acknowledged as an early example of what might be called ‘electric shock’ literature, within a mid-20th century canon that includes Harold Pinter’s The Caretaker (1960), Ken Kesey’s One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest (1962), and Sylvia Plath’s The Bell Jar (1963).
