The opening of West German psychiatric institutions in the wake of the "Psychiatrie-Enquete" stands as a palpable sign of the normalisation of madness in the late XX Century. Since the 1970s, however, the emptying of institutions has been paralleled by a growth of forensic psychiatry units (Maßregelvollzug). These opposing trends are commonly framed either under the rubrics of re- or trans-institutionalisation, or as cipher of a dawning "isk-society". Taking the move from this debate, the proposed project focusses on the development of West-German Forensic Psychiatry, from an institution devoted to "Betterment and Security" ("Sicherung und Besserung") to one of "Security and Betterment" ("Besserung und Sicherung"). In parallel, it explores the figure of the “dangerous(ly) insane”, as it emerged from – and was entangled in – the psychiatric reform. Following the path of the "Anthropology of the Present", we will reconstruct the complex network of interactions among discourses, practices and structures of the past, which directly influence the present (i.e. a dispositive), laying bare its constitutive ambivalences.This project aims first at trailing the figure of the "dangerous insane" in its development within the specialist discourse. Secondly, we will investigate the category of "dangerous insanity" in its socio-political dimension and scope. In the third place, we will investigate the mundane meaning of de-institutionalisation to the daily life of the concerned actors, against the background of the establishment and trans-formation of a reformed forensic psychiatry. The focus of the project is the interplay between discoursively created and mediated knowledge-systems of "dangerous insanity" and their tangible effects on forensic diagnostics, treatment and prognostics. We propose to study the Forensic-Psychiatric Clinic, Moringen (today Maßregelvollzugszentrum Niedersachsen/Moringen) as a paradigmatic case. On the basis of its fairly continuous series of clinical and administrative records, we will investigate how the scientific and socio-political discourses on dangerousness informed the daily lives and routines in forensic psychiatric units.

在“精神病学调查”之后，西德精神病机构的开放是20世纪末疯狂正常化的明显标志。然而，自20世纪70年代以来，司法精神科（Maßregelvollzug）的增长与机构的清空相对应。这些对立的趋势通常要么被框定在再制度化或跨制度化的框架下，要么被框定为“风险社会”曙光的暗号。从这场辩论出发，拟议的项目侧重于西德法医精神病学的发展，从一个致力于“改善和安全”（“Sicherung und Besserung”）的机构转变为一个致力于“安全与改善”（“Besserung und Sicherung”）的机构。与此同时，它还探讨了“危险的（严重的）精神错乱”的形象，因为它出现在精神病学改革中，并与之纠缠在一起。沿着“当代人类学”的路径，我们将重建过去的话语、实践和结构之间复杂的相互作用网络，这些网络直接影响到现在（即决定因素），揭示其构成的矛盾。这个项目首先旨在追踪“危险的疯子”在专家话语中的发展。其次，我们将在其社会政治维度和范围内调查“危险精神错乱”的类别。第三，我们将以改革后的法医精神病学的建立和转变为背景，调查去机构化对相关行为者日常生活的世俗意义。该项目的重点是“危险精神错乱”的话语创造和中介知识系统之间的相互作用及其对法医诊断、治疗和预后的切实影响。我们建议将Moringen法医精神病学诊所（今天的Maßregelvollzugszentrum Niedersachsen/Moringen）作为一个范例案例进行研究。在其相当连续的一系列临床和行政记录的基础上，我们将调查关于危险的科学和社会政治话语如何影响法医精神科的日常生活和日常工作。
