Abstract
My main goal is simply to reinterpret schizophrenia and certain closely related forms of pathology (the so-called schizophrenia spectrum of illnesses, which also includes schizoid and schizotypal, and some forms of schizophreniform and schizoaffective, disorders); to show, using the affinities with modernism, that much of what has been passed off as primitive or deteriorated is far more complex and interesting—and self-aware—than is usually acknowledged.
