  Global Prisons and Violent Extremism

  Critical Theories, Case Studies, Methodologies

  This international and multidisciplinary symposium is devoted to the analysis of what the fight against "violent extremism" does to the functioning of penitentiary institutions, in terms of practices, experiences and expertise. The aim is to understand the handling by the State, through the prison administration, of those whom it does consider as "enemies of the State" and "threats to national security". Thus, this colloquium aims i. to understand, in the media, political and institutional fields, the debates relating to the problematic relationship between prison and violent extremism, ii. to grasp the legal changes linked to terrorism and the effects of the "criminalization the enemy" on the prison institution, iii. to establish a state of the art and a critical analysis of the multiple modalities of violent extremism's management around the world, and to analyse the political, security, methodological and ethical conditions, challenges and obstacles related to the practice of social science research in this field of study.
