From Mad in America

About this event

History might be seen as efforts to resolve tensions between our simultaneously individual and collective existence. Anthropology allows us to reflect on our subjectivity in dialogue with others. Though we live with independent perspectives, in important ways we are inextricable from the families, communities, and nations in which we live. Wars and other madness might be seen as arising in the tensions between the two. Healthy communities and families have found ways to resolve these tensions through dialogue of some kind. What do anthropologists see about how “Open Dialogue”, as practiced in Western Lapland, fits into this ancient history? What can we learn about the success and failure of dialogue in human history?
