About the event

What exactly is the prison boundary? Where is it located? And by whom is it constructed and performed? This seminar explores . Although the relationship between prison and non-prison has garnered academic interest from various disciplines in the last decade, the cultural performance of the boundary has been largely ignored. Drawing on a range of examples including governmental legislation, penal tourism, prisoner work programmes and art by offenders, Jennifer Turner attends to the everyday, practised manifestations and negotiations of the prison boundary - revealing it as a patchwork of locations, processes and performances of everyday border politics.
