Abstract
Popular misconceptions about the danger of madness have undermined mentally ill people’s struggle for social inclusion. Consequently, efforts to think through how we might belong together must take account of mental patients’ right to a public voice. However, the article takes issue with an excessively cognitive and rationalistic conception of the public citizen. It suggests, instead, that ‘alternative’ forums can be constructed which counters the dominant cultural image of the “mad, crazy, nutter”. It concludes by discussing one innovative TV series (Video Diaries) in which ‘mentally ill’ participants’ reveal their capacity to speak for themselves.
