Dr Alvise Sforza Tarabochia

About

I joined the University of Kent as a lecturer in 2011, after obtaining a PhD in Italian Studies, defending a thesis on the thought of the psychiatrist Franco Basaglia. I have researched and published in the fields of history and philosophy of psychiatry, Italian theory, biopolitics and Lacanian psychoanalysis. I am currently working on Italian visual culture, especially photography, and its relationship with the medical sciences, with particular attention to psychiatry and forensics.
