Bénédicte Michalon et Djemila Zeneidi sont invitées le 20 juin à communiquer à l’Université de Birmingham lors d’une séance de la série de séminaires “Exploring Everyday Practice and Resistance in Immigration Detention” coordonnée par Dominique Moran, Nick Gill, Mary Bosworth, Alexandra Hall et Imogen Tyler et financée par le Economic and Social Research Council. La séance portera plus précisément sur la recherche consacrée aux relations entre prison et rétention des étrangers.

Bénédicte et Djemila présenteront une réflexion méthodologique menée par l’ensemble de l’équipe TerrFerme sur les modalités et enjeux d’une recherche sur trois types différents de lieux d’enfermement.

By bringing together a range of established academics, early-career academics, postgraduates, practitioners, artists, activists and former detainees this seminar series will investigate the ways in which the UK experience of detention reflects and re-produces the contradictory logics inherent in modern global detention practices. Through five one-day workshop events the seminar series will span the academic disciplines of criminology, geography, politics and sociology in order to examine the phenomenon of detention as it relates to supporting detainees, penology and prisons, everyday experiences of detention and the politics of, and resistance to, detention practices.

The seminars, to be held in London, York, Birmingham, Oxford and Lancaster will also reflect upon the ethical/methodological challenges that the study of detention produces and the tension, running throughout work in this area, between outright resistance to detention practices or a reformist approach based on working with the state on behalf of immigration detainees.
