Advanced seminar
SoSe 23: Police and Prison Abolition in the Americas
Markus Hochmüller, Markus Kienscherf
Comments
This seminar examines practices of policing and punishment from an abolitionist perspective. The seminar, first, provides a historical overview of abolitionist scholarship and activism from the anti-slavery movements to radical contemporary perspectives on state and society. In a second step, we discuss topics including policing and militarization; mass incarceration; urban marginality; racism and gender-based discrimination; violence and criminalization; and authoritarian neoliberalism. We will draw on case studies from the US, Latin America, and the Caribbean and advance an intersectional analytical perspective (informed by postcolonial security studies, critical theory, gender studies, critical theories on race and ethnicity, and abolitionist modes of resistance and democratic reconstruction). close
