Affective Minds: “Madness”, Morality, and Emotions in Rural Bali
The island of Bali in Indonesia has established itself as a hub for international cooperation and transnational mental health experts. This project, focusing on Bali, investigates the illness experience associated with severe psychiatric disorders as intertwined moral, cognitive, and emotional processes and contributes to current debates on mental health experience. At the same time, this analytic link promises to provide an in-depth description of how global knowledge flows influence personal and social illness trajectories outside of the Global North, by methodologically particularizing the diverse Balinese therapeutic landscapes.
