Creativity and Madness

Edited by C. Paolucci, S. Bartezzaghi, L. Lobaccaro & F.V. Alessi

Submission deadline: July 15, 2025

This Special Issue of RIFL, developed within the framework of the PRIN 2022 project SACre-D. Schizophrenia, Autism and the Myth of Creativity. An Interdisciplinary Perspective on Psychopathological Expression and its Digitalization, aims to explore the relationships between concepts related to the semantic field of creativity (e.g., genius, art, expression, intuition, talent, improvisation, spontaneity, association, divergent thinking, inspiration, invention) and those associated with the semantic field of madness (e.g., psychopathology, neurodivergence/neurodiversity, possession, insanity). We encourage the submission of theoretical reflections or case analyses of an interdisciplinary nature or related to specific methodologies, such as semiotics, philosophy of language, psychopathology of expression, psychiatry, cognitive sciences, neuroscience, philosophy of psychiatry and psychology, artificial intelligence, sociology, and literary studies.
