An example of institutional violence, "tie scene" from "Üsi Badi"

Dank dieses Vorfalles in der Doku-Serie "Üsi Badi" konnten für einmal auch nichtbehinderte Menschen sehen, wie es in Heimen zu und her geht.



Ausschnitt aus „Üsi Badi“ vom 09. August 2010. Quelle: Schweizer Fernsehen.

Wir befinden uns im Wohnwagen von Niklaus

Narrator: For such an opportunity has Niklaus extra wrapped a tie.

Nicholas: That's Mark's never seen before! He has never seen!

Tutor: Do you think you're exaggerating a bit with the tie?

Niklaus: Do not know ...

Maintainer: Huh?

Maintainer: Hey, it's a bit hot today ... I think even for the camera and afterwards ... ... We have them here. We have no tie today. It is far too hot.

Narrator: The Nicholas is disappointed.

Nicholas: I have to take them off again, he said.

We are in the studio of SL-TV.

David Siems: This scene is typical of everyday, institutional violence and is doing so for two reasons: First, the supervisor is mixed into something that does not concern him in the least. It is therefore natural that he can make a grown man such rules just because of this disability that he himself did not. Second, it makes it just a very sneaky, dishonest way: He puts up chummy and relaxed, and instead of saying straight away that it prohibits Niklaus tie, he first tries it with his suggestive question the tie to make worm.

The scene does to people without disabilities may be harmless, but this is one of the classical methods, with the personality of disabled people are oppressed in institutions and long-term break is made. It teaches them that way, they can not make decisions and are dependent on the institution. This is evident from the fact that Nicholas made no attempt to contradict it. He has learned to survive in the institution.
