 f Anthropology, University of Toronto \n\nDescription: \nBetween 1897 and
  1914, the French colonial government transferred more than 140 West Afri
 can mental patients to Marseille, where they were institutionalized withi
 n the St-Pierre Asylum. Few of these patients were ever repatriated. Thoug
 h justified in humanitarian terms, this colonial experiment was a failure
  on all counts—an act of colonial violence framed as care. In this paper,
  I examine the transfer at two points. First, I consider how French colon
 ial doctors and administrators in Senegal decided which patients should be
  sent to Marseille. Here I highlight the cases of three women and the invo
 lvement of their families to reveal the provisional and haphazard nature o
 f the colony's approach to the internment of mental patients. I then turn 
 to consider the West African patients’ arrival at the St-Pierre Asylum, a
 s well as the ideas about race, madness, and civilization that emerged o
 ut of the psychiatric encounter between French doctors and these patients.
  Centering my inquiry upon archival material from Dakar and Marseille as w
 ell as a medical thesis written by a St-Pierre doctor in 1908, I consider
  how questions of racial difference—as well as the possibilities and limit
 s of the civilizing process—came to be imagined and articulated within the
  asylum.Zoom Link: https://utoronto.zoom.us/j/81442724368Meeting ID: 814 4
