Confinement viewed through the prism of the social sciences: contrasting facilities, confronting approaches

L’enfermement au prisme des sciences sociales : rapprocher les lieux, confronter les approches

*  *  *

Abstract

Ce colloque international et pluridisciplinaire interroge les transformations des formes contemporaines de gouvernement des populations par l’enfermement. Saisies dans une variété d’espaces et d’institutions, ces dynamiques donnent autant à voir l’existence de processus transversaux aux différents lieux, que le maintien de leurs particularités et d’héritages propres à chacun d’entre eux. Dans une perspective historique ou contemporaine, il s’agit donc d’analyser ce que le rapprochement des travaux sur l’enfermement produit en termes de compréhension : compréhension du continuum carcéral à travers la vie sociale ; des liens entre espace et pouvoir ; de la pluralité des acteurs au sein des institutions et de la mise en tension de ces institutions ; des inégalités et des assignations identitaires ; encore de l'articulation entre enfermement et mobilité. Le colloque est organisé dans le cadre du programme « TerrFerme – Les dispositifs de l’enfermement. Approche territoriale du contrôle politique et social contemporain ».
