Discussion | Franco Basaglia and the Critique of the Mental Asylum in Italy


From the early 1960s there was a growing movement in Italy against the practice of confining people designated as mentally ill within institutions known as manicomi (mental asylums). One of the most vociferous and controversial figures in this movement was Franco Basaglia (1924-1980). In this specially convened panel discussion, held in the 90th anniversary year of Basaglia's birth, three scholars will look at the history of this movement, which would result in Italy in the eventual closure of all non-penal mental asylums, and at the wider international context in which it took place. Speakers: John Foot, University of Bristol; Camille Robcis, Cornell University; David Forgacs, NYU.

Park Walk | The High Line Tour


The area around the High Line Park was a vital business district of New York City, supplying fresh fruits, French Cheeses and Russian caviar as well as fresh meats to City markets. The hustle and bustle of the streets induced the City to elevate the railroad trains delivering goods to the commercial buildings. When interstate truck traffic made the railway outdated, it fell into ruin, only to be regenerated as a park.
