This article is an autoethnographic vignette of a schizoaffective sufferer learning about ‘saneness’ from slasher films. In this paper, theories from popular culture as pedagogy, Mad Studies, and cultivation theory, are used to confirm that saneness in motion pictures (specifically slasher films) can be conceptualized as a site of critical pedagogy. In addition, this paper relates the ways in which sane performativity in slasher films is consumable and made educative by inducting a new notion into adult education and Mad Studies: the pedagogy of saneness. This paper concludes that in order for viewers to steady their shattered psyches they have to learn to live with their ‘abnormality’ rather than shirk it into oblivion.

Saneness的教​​学法：流行文化中的Sane-Centricity作为教学法

本文是一个精神分裂症患者的自传民族志小插曲，他们从割胶机电影中了解了“神志清醒”。在本文中，来自流行文化的理论，如教育学，疯狂研究和耕种理论，被用于确认电影中的理智（特别是电影剪辑）可以被概念化为批判教育学的场所。此外，本文还通过将一种新概念引入成人教育和疯狂研究领域，探讨了如何在影片中使用更合理的方式来使影片更具吸引力，并使其具有教育意义。本文的结论是，为了使观众稳定自己破碎的心理，他们必须学会忍受自己的“异常”而不是逃避遗忘。
