2015/12/29 Panel – „Confinement institutions, ethnography, and
public relevance“ by Manuela Cunha (Universidade do Minho, CRIA-UM)
& Ueli Hostettler (University of Bern), European Association of
Social Anthropologists (EASA) 2016 -Conference in Milan, Italy, 20-23
July
Abstract: How do anthropologists of confinement navigate a
variety of interlocutors shaped by particular understandings of
confinement institutions as ’social problems‘? How do anthropologists
engage with policy-oriented publics and in what ways do they assert the
relevance of ethnographic research?
We invite scholars of prison and confinement to critically address these
issues by reflecting on their experiences of engagement with a range of
relevant publics — before, during or in the aftermath of field
research. For more information on the panel and the 9 individual papers,
