Penal Institutions and Their Hybridizations "in Action"
No full textThe TSANTSA special issue 25/2020 Penal Institutions and Their Hybridizations "in Action" discusses the relationship between the penal state and the welfare state, between punishment, rehabilitation, and risk management, and between prison and non-custodial sentences. The contributions examine how these seemingly distinct areas empirically come together to constitute a “sociopenal continuum”. The contributions examine three forms of hybridization. The first form is apparent when two institutions pursuing distinct missions are called upon to collaborate in order to deal with the same public; the second emerges when two paradigms for intervention compete with each other within the same institutional framework; and the third can be observed in the trajectories of the publics of criminal justice institutions, marked by a diverse range of measures for intervention (whether social, judicial, or therapeutic)
The Containment of Voluntariness. Programs for Assisted Voluntary Return Migration to Tunisia
No full textVon der Bewegung her denken: Migration als soziale Bewegung im eigentlichen Wortsinne
No full textEin Grund der Krise der Migrationsforschung liegt daran, dass ihre vorherrschende Blickrichtung vom Staat aus auf Migration gerichtet ist. Während der Staat naturalisiert wird, erscheint Migration als die störende Bewegung. Exakt diese Kritik ist in der Losung „We didn’t cross the border, the border crossed us!“ des Immigrant Rights Movement aus den USA enthalten. Nur eine Umkehrung der Perspektive kann aus der Sackgasse führen, in welche Konzepte wie „Integration“ geführt haben, indem Fragen neu gestellt werden können: Was passiert, wenn Effekte von Staat und Staatlichkeit in die Bewegung der Migration eingeschrieben werden? Prototyp dieser Einschreibung ist die Grenze, die sich aber nicht auf deren geopolitische Manifestation beschränkt, sondern verschiedenste Grenzkontrollpraktiken (Datenbanken, Migrationsprogramme und -verträge zwischen Staaten, Rückübernahmeabkommen von abgewiesenen Asylsuchenden) umfasst, die oftmals deterritorialisiert und relokalisert sind. Ausgehend von der Kritik des Methodologischen Nationalismus skizziert der Beitrag, wie ein Ansatz der Migrationsforschung aussehen könnte, der von der Bewegung aus denkt, wie es etwa in der Idee der Autonomie der Migration angedacht ist. Am Beispiel des laufenden Projektes „How Does Border Occur?“, das unter anderem die sogenannt freiwilligen Rückkehrprogramme für tunesische Migrantinnen untersucht, stellt der Beitrag schliesslich zur Diskussion, wie ein solches Forschungsprogramm konkret aussehen könnte

Recovered from Dust.Imagining a Future in Casale Monferrato after the Asbestos Disaster
No full textAs many small towns in Northern Italy, Casale Monferrato’s economy was dominated by one single industry. Also known as la capitale del cimentosince the end of the 19thCentury, manycement corporations established their headquarters in or around the town. One of today’s worldwide giants in this business, Buzzi Unicem, still has its headquarter here and is a remainder of this industrial past. Yet Casale Monferrato was especially notorious for the asbestos factory Eternit S.p.A., which dominated the town’s fate for decades. It brought jobs, modest wealth, but also death to the city’s working class; the population was dependent from the jobsprovided by the factory, at the same time the asbestos production polluted the environment and destroyed the city’s future. With more than 3’000 asbestos-related deaths to this day, there is not a single family that has remained unaffected by the disaster. In a historical-anthropological perspective, this contribution draws on ethnographic fieldwork and archival research and explores how the different social actors have been dealing with the dilemma of this economic dependency of a particular industry that simultaneously destroys the town’s future. Reconstructing Casale Monferrato’s transformation from an economy without a future to a future without—or with an uncertain—economy allows to understand how the competing imaginations of a better future have shaped the social struggles of the different actors involved
