schizo

In the 2014 book, “Schizo Culture: The Book, The Event,” he recalled the chaos of the proceedings: “Foucault vented his furor and frustration at the conference. It was a scandal, he said; he had never seen a worse audience before; New Yorkers were horrible, the conference a sham.”

“Schizo Culture” may have seemed, in its moment, like little more than abject confusion.

Back then, I regularly heard friends use pejorative words like “nuts,” “psycho,” “schizo,” “insane” and “looney tune” as general insults to anyone for any transgression.

People will ask, “Who’s that actor on that show? Y’know, the one who plays the schizo?” or “She’s on that teen show, the suicide one,” and of course, “She’s the one who goes insane.”

I wanted to see just how schizo he really was.
