In this episode we are joined by John Foot, Susana Caló, and
Godofredo Enes Pereira for a wide-ranging conversation on the
publication in English of The Negated Institution, and the radical
milieus that shaped it, emerging from the turbulent political and
intellectual landscape of the 1960s and 70s. The discussion traces
the overlapping trajectories of Franco Basaglia’s movement in
Italy – best known for its role in dismantling psychiatric
hospitals – and the parallel work of CERFI (Centre d’Études, de
Recherches et de Formation Institutionnelles) in France. Rather
than treating these as isolated histories, the conversation
explores their shared concerns: the critique of institutional
power, the rethinking of subjectivity, and the attempt to invent
new forms of collective life beyond the confines of medicalized
and bureaucratic control. Across the episode, we discuss how these
projects navigated the fraught terrain between theory and
practice, politics and care, organization and spontaneity. What
did it mean to “open” the institution, and what forms of
resistance or capture did this entail? How did these movements
intersect with broader currents of 1968 and its aftermath? And
what can their experiments teach us today, in a moment where
questions of mental health, social reproduction, and institutional
life have вновь become urgent?<br>
