Marco Cavallo’s parade through the city of Trieste marked Basaglia’s arrival in the city of Trieste and the outbreak of madness from the enclosure of the asylum. It was a happening that showed in the most literal and most metaphorical way that madness concerns every city and every citizen. Because what madness exposes in the most blatant and troubling way is the difficulty or impossibility of logos, whether you mean connection in a logical sense (between the elements of discourse), in an ontological sense (between the elements of the real), or in a political sense (between the elements of the collective scene). And because that difficulty or impossibility of connection is, not so much an accident, or an exception, or a pathology, but the very matter and the very structure of logic, of being and of politics. That’s why no diagnosis ever names madness, but always names, for example as schizophrenia or as depression, what a certain time and place fears as the most serious cause of disintegration of what is assumed to be the bond par excellence. Which is as much as saying that every diagnosis of madness is an unconscious political diagnosis of the society that issues it.
