Subject: Re: CFP AAG 2013 Carceral Geography: Debates, Developments and Directions
Dear friends,
In the mail about the CFP about "carceral geography" send by Dominique Moran, there is an information that is not so precise: "Carceral geography is a new but a fast-moving and fast-developing sub-discipline. Although the first paper by a geographer published squarely in this field was probably the work of Dirsuweit (1999)...".
Pedro Fraile is a professor of geography at Universitat de Lleida (Spain) [http://www.geosoc.udl.cat/] , who works about carceral geography since 1985. I send you some of his papers and books about that field:

Assumpte: CFP AAG 2013 Carceral Geography: Debates, Developments and Directions
> Call for Papers: Association of American Geographers (AAG)
> Conference 9-13 April 2013, Los Angeles, CA., USA
>
> Session Title:
> Carceral Geography: Debates, Developments and Directions
>
> http://carceralgeography.com/2012/08/13/call-for-papers-carceral-
> geography-at-the-aag-2013/
>
> Organisers:
> Dominique Moran, University of Birmingham, UK
> Shaul Cohen, University of Oregon, USA
>
> “Against the backdrop of unfettered markets and enfeebled social-
> welfare programs, when the penal system has become a major engine
> of social stratification and cultural division in its own right,
> the field study of the prison ceases to be the province of the
> specialist in crime and punishment to become a window into the
> deepest contradictions and the darkest secrets of our age.”
> (Wacquant 2002, 389)
>
> The so-called ‘punitive turn’ has brought new ways of thinking
> about geography and the state, and has highlighted spaces of
> incarceration as a new terrain for exploration by geographers.
> Geographical engagements with incarceration have put these spaces,
> and experiences within them, firmly on the disciplinary map. Human
> geography, and specifically the evolving sub-discipline of
> carceral geography, have much to offer to the study of
> incarceration, and taking the carceral as a locus of research
> offers useful opportunities both to invigorate ongoing
> developments within human geography, and to contribute to positive
> social change.
>
> Carceral geography is a new but a fast-moving and fast-developing
> sub-discipline. Although the first paper by a geographer published
> squarely in this field was probably the work of Dirsuweit (1999),
> the enormous potential of spaces of incarceration for geographical
> enquiry was highlighted by Philo (2001) who turned a book review
> into an agenda-setting article germinating the ideas which have
> informed the development of this area of research, in terms of a
> critical engagement with spaces of confinement and a dialogue with
> the work of Foucault and Agamben. A decade after this paper was
> published, and with the sub-discipline proving an increasingly
> vibrant field, this session aims to provide a space for discussion
> of this scholarship, situating it in the context both of
> contemporary human geography and of the interdisciplinary
> literature from criminology and prison sociology upon which it
> draws, and to also explore a range of potential avenues of future
> research which are open to transdisciplinarity, which are both
> informed by and extend theoretical developments in geography, but
> which also, and critically, interface with contemporary debates
> over hyperincarceration and the punitive state.
>
> This call is intentionally broad, but papers in this session
> could, for example, explore any of the following issues in a range
> of geographical contexts, in relation to 'mainstream'
> imprisonment, migrant detention, or both:
> • debates, directions, and developments within the field of
> carceral geography
> • synergies with criminology and prison sociology
> • the nature and experience of spaces of confinement, broadly
> conceived• the geography of systems of confinement
> • the nature of mobility within incarceration
> • hyperincarceration and the carceral 'churn'
> • penal architecture and prison design
> • 'green' or sustainable prisons
> • notions of the 'carceral' which extend beyond physical
> confinement, understanding the carceral as emplaced, mobile,
> gendered, embodied and affective
> • conceptualisations of timespace in incarceration
> • the tension between the 'inside' and 'outside' of penal institutions
> • relationships between incarcerated persons and family and friends
> • experiences of formerly incarcerated individuals after release
>

> Please submit abstracts of no more than 250 words by email to
