Unseen City: Travelling Psychoanalysis and the Urban Poor. (360G-Wellcome-104790_Z_14_Z)

£4,940

Unseen City: Travelling Psychoanalysis and the Urban Poor examines the institution of psychoanalysis and its underdeveloped relationship with race and urban poverty, as seen in the context of Mumbai, London, and New York. The outcome will be a monograph, which draws on a range of literature, cinema, art, and image archives to explore the following: prevalent psychoanalytic practices in global cities; state policy on poverty and mental disease (and viable alternatives); the dialogue between cultu ral and social discourses and medical initiatives on poverty. This multidisciplinary project requires knowledge-sharing. I will use the grant money to conduct scoping exercises and field research in India in July-August 2014: 1. I will conduct interviews at a) The Association of the Mentally Challenged and b) The All India Institute of Mental Health (current NIMHANS), based in Bangalore. Both run mental health clinics for the poor. 2. I will interview members of the Indian Psychoan alytical Society, Kolkata, and also conduct interviews with Professors Santanu Biswas and Josodhara Bagchi, who work in social welfare collectives. 3. I will gather video and audio data in the Dharavi slum of Mumbai. I will be collaborating with URBZ, an urban research and action collective in Mumbai, for this work.
