Discourse

who was dissatisfied with old media? (Nov 20, Nov 22)

1.5.1 the question
1.5.2 the technological imaginary
1.5.3 the discursive construction of new media & conclusion

"Discourse"
I don't even know what it is exact.
I heard that discourse is not only texts but also general map to post-structuralist.
It helps distingush between literature and not-literature.
That is discourse what I know..however it is complicate for me.

Pro.Yoon mention about prison and hospital.
How were those built.
Whoever have mental problems or break the laws, they were put in a jail, at that time.
But ,in 19c, the prison was seperated from the jail and mental hospital.
For having mental deseases, they need not put in jail but need treat.
That's why the mental hospital was built..

However, the funny thing is that artists, who are very famous with us, usually have
mental problems.
At that time there weren't the hospital so they couldn't treat much.
If they had a treatment, they don't become famous artists who we know.

So I suddenly think that we prevent from people who are very creative.
Because we think they are crazy and odd.

Are there any standards which we distingush people who are crazy or not??
