Mental illness,late capitalism,and the socioeconomic “psychopath” in CBS’s Elementary

This article focuses on representations of mental illness on U.S. network television, particularly the “police procedural” Elementary. As a modern interpretation of the Sherlock Holmes character, Elementary is unique in emphasizing the detective’s struggles with drug addiction and mental illness, as well as a long road of recovery where intellectual labor is instrumental and “therapeutic” (rather than stressful and alienating). Despite its critical acclaim, Elementary’s progressive portrayals of symptoms of mental illness in Holmes are complicated by the series’s stereotypical depiction of villains that are “mad men,” “lunatics,” and “psychopaths” driven by financial gain and individual greed. The “acceptability” of mental illness in the series is measured by a character’s compliance with the dominant social order. While Elementary provides some positive messages about mental illness, its socioeconomic commentaries individualize “madness,” violence, and the pitfalls of late capitalism to support an increasingly problematic narrative of neoliberalism and mental health.

Zhang Yimou Makes First Foray into Peking Opera“Allegiance under Heaven” debuts at the NationalCenter for the Performing Arts

Peking Opera Alleglan under Heaven is adapted from a story about a Chinese states- man＇s filial piety in the Spring and Autumn Period （770 BC - 476 BC）. The inspiration/or this on-stage performance comes from the Chinese classic Spring and Autumn Annals. It narrates the story that Lord Zheng throws away the past resentment and becomes reconciled to his moth- er, underlining the importance of ties of blood and affection and calling for social conscience and humanity. Its premiere has special and realistic implications, especially in the Chinese soci- ety today in which money worship is gaining the upper hand over traditional morality.
