The Yellow Wall-Paper: A Graphic Novel: Unabridged
From the Illustrator: "The line art in this graphic novel was created in such a way as to mirror a sense of 'the hand, ' because the main character in the story is journaling the story. At times, then, the art will begin to fragment as the panels proceed, to match the inner state of the character. The choice of sepia color lends an 'aged' feel, as if you were going back in time to peek at the character's own handwriting and sketches."***"The Yellow Wall-Paper" is a short story that was written in the late 1800s by Charlotte Perkins Gilman, after she suffered a serious downturn with depression, upon taking a doctor's advice to engage in the "rest cure" and abandon creative pursuits forever. Now, more than a hundred years later, this image-rich work has been interpreted by artist Sara Barkat -in a manner that combines both philosophical thought and visual intrigue.Sometimes understood as feminist literature, sometimes understood as exploring mental illness, and sometimes understood as both at the same time, this story is oddly poetic even when it is chilling and challenging. The tale contains subtexts that touch upon the nature of Imagination, as well as the act of Writing, and the artist has enhanced these subtexts with the inclusion of Victorian flower symbols, such as thistle for independence and lupine for imagination. Watch, too, for the appearance of some of history's most imaginative art, refashioned and in dialog with the story at hand, which gives a sense of timelessness and broader societal import to the tale. / Buy now

“Tapetul galben” povestește experiența unei femei cu depresie post-partum căreia i se prescrie tratamentul prin odihnă (rest cure). Nu știu exact care este termenul medical (dacă există), însă am aflat cu ocazia acestei lecturi despre acest tratament, recomandat de neurologul american Weir Mitchell. Weir considera că femeile ajung să sufere pentru că nu își acceptă rolul natural, acela de mama și gospodină. În momentul în care femeile se apucă și de alte activități, intelectuale sau artistice, intră în contradicție cu rolul lor natural și încep să aibă diferite probleme emoționale. Așa încât el prescria odihnă totală timp de trei luni, mai exact stat în pat (singura activitate permisă era spălatul pe dinți, în rest și mersul la toaletă se executa tot în pat, pacienta nu avea voie să se schimbe singură sau să se miște singură când i se schimba așternutul, și nici să se hrănească singură).
Lui Gilman, Mitchell îi recomandă un treatment asemănător: viață domestică, izolare, maximum două ore de activitate intelectuală pe zi și prescripția să nu mai atingă niciodată în viață vreun creion, pensulă sau alt instrument asemănător. După trei luni de terapie, Gilman simte că ajunge la capătul puterilor și abandonează tratamentul. Scrie această povestire, în care duce la extrem experiența ei din timpul tratamentului prin odihnă. Și trimite o copie a povestirii și către faimosul neurolog.
