Reopening Mental Asylums: Nostalgia vs. Reality
The speakers discuss the idea of reopening mental asylums and challenge the nostalgic portrayal of these institutions as places of refuge. They highlight the horrific conditions, violence, abuse, and neglect that occurred within them, and address the racialized, gendered, and sanism-related construction of danger. Additionally, they explore the connection between the proposed reopening of asylums and issues such as eugenics, race, colonialism, and the war on terror.
