Penalizing Politics: Confinement and Intersectionality in Neoliberal Latin America

Thu, May 28, 2:00 to 3:45pm, TBA

Session Submission Type: Panel

Abstract

In light of rising prison populations that accompanied the rolling-out of neoliberalism throughout the region, this panel seeks to address the causes and consequences of the punitive turn in contemporary Latin America from an intersectional perspective. It focuses on the cumulative effects of various axes of inequality and exclusion resulting from the return of the prison as a core institution of the neoliberal Latin American state. To this end, the panel brings together scholars working on questions of gender, class and ethnicity in relation to practices of confinement.
