SUMMARY:Criminal cultures and criminal figures in the Soviet Union and the post-Soviet space
DESCRIPTION:March 30\, 2022\, 2-5.30 PM CET (3-6.30 PM EET) \n\nGiven the ongoing war in Ukraine\, and the crisis unfolding in the region and beyond\, this workshop wants to be in the first place a platform for discussion and reflection on how our knowledge and experience could help understand current events and future challenges\, as citizens and as academics. \nLiterature on the Soviet Gulag has an established tradition in academia and beyond (Barnes 2011\, Hardy 2016\, Klevniuk 2004\, Solzhenitsyn 1973\, Shalamov 1978). Research on prison systems in communist successor countries has also developed steadily (Pallot 2005\, Piacentini & Katz 2017\, Piacentini & Slade 2015\, Moran\, Piacentini & Pallot 2012). In this framework of crime and punishment\, research on criminal (sub)cultures has mainly focused on informal hierarchies and governance inside the prison\, as well as on the influence of social\, cultural and moral norms of the criminal world on society ‘outside’ (Varese 1998\, Slade & Azbel 2020\, Kekoshvili & Slade 2020\, Zakharova 2017\, Curro 2017\, Ferry 2021\, Cowley\, Ryan & Dunn 2015). Bringing different disciplinary\, historical and geographical perspectives in conversation with one another\, this workshop aims to provide a space to share empirical findings\, epistemological and methodological approaches\, theoretical insights\, personal experiences and future plans in research on crime and criminals as cultural and social phenomena. Contributions from anthropology\, sociology\, history and criminology will touch upon a number of interrelated questions: What is ‘specifically Soviet’ – or ‘post-Soviet’ – in criminal cultures and criminal figures populating prisons and streets of Georgia\, Russia\, Kyrgyzstan\, Moldova\, or migration settings? How have these cultures and figures transformed at different stages of Soviet history\, with the transition to capitalism at the beginning of the 1990s\, and in the three decades after the fall of the Soviet Union? What have been political and legal authorities’ approaches towards the criminal world and its cultural manifestations in different historical\, socio-political and geographical settings? And how has the criminal world responded to these approaches? \nThe workshop will also focus on the connections between prison\, criminal cultures and society. Contributions will discuss the ways in which different people and groups – youth\, women\, middle classes\, intelligentsia\, the poor – perceive the criminal world; the moral and affective underpinnings of criminal cultures; the interaction between the criminal world’s social and cultural norms and ethnicity\, citizenship\, religion\, class\, political orientation. Issues of comparability\, terminology and research ethics will be addressed too. \n\nPROGRAM\n(please check your timezone by clicking on the time) \n2-2.10: Welcome and introduction: \nCostanza Curro (University of Helsinki\, Finland) and Davide Casciano (AnthroCrime EASA Network\, University of Bologna\, Italy) \n  \n2.10-3.10: Keynote by Federico Varese\, University of Oxford\, UK: \nHow war affects crime: Reflections on history and the present of the vory v zakone \n  \n3.10-4.20: Session 1 – Crime\, criminals and punishment inside and outside prison: Perspectives from sociology\, criminology and history \nGavin Slade\, Nazarbayev University\, Kazakhstan: \n\n	Prison subculture and prison governance: Towards a framework for comparative analysis\n\n  \nRustam Urinboyev\, Lund University\, Sweden: \n\n	Uzbek transnational prisoners in Russia and their interaction with traditional prison subculture (vorovskoi mir)\n\n  \nRhiannon Dowling\, CUNY\, US: \n\n	A fishing expedition in Sochi: The popular origins of a late Soviet anti-corruption campaign\n\n  \n4.20-5.30: Session 2 – Ethics and aesthetics of criminal cultures \nVakhtang Kekoshvili\, Georgian American University\, Georgia: \n\n	The thieves in law in Georgia: Resilience\, resistance or fallen myth?\n\n  \nMaroussia Ferry\, IHEID-CCDP\, Switzerland: \n\n	The “thief-in-law” as an ambivalent moral horizon for Georgian transnational burglars\n\n  \nSvetlana Stephenson\, London Metropolitan University\, UK: \n\n	The Russian Gang and the Virtue Ethics\n\n  \nDiscussants: \nCostanza Curro\, Judith Pallot (University of Helsinki) \n\n

SUMMARY:Vigilantism Resurrected
DESCRIPTION:Anthropological Explorations of Violent Transfigurations of State\, Crime and Politics across Contexts \n\nMay 20-22\, 2021 \nKeynote Speech by\nProf Jean Comaroff (Harvard University) \n\nAcross the globe\, we are witnessing collective dissent against police violence and (abusive) state practices alongside a resurrection of vigilante activities\, that is citizens’ attempts to take law into their own hands to punish alleged criminals. While the perceived targets of these vigilante endeavours vary in different contexts – ranging from communities who are deemed illegal to those who are considered immoral-indecent and from those who slaughter cattle to elected members of parliaments – vigilante groups\, by and large\, act in defense of historically embedded structures and relations as well as moral orders.\nWhile some scholarly explorations underline how vigilante groups strive to re-assert “law and order” independently of the state power (Johnston 1996; Moncanda 2017)\, scholars often tend to associate vigilantism with the “dysfunctioning” societal orders and “failed” statehood of the non-western settings (Kuˇcera and Mareš 2015). Critical anthropological approaches\, on the other hand\, demonstrate how the interrelationship between vigilante groups\, statecraft\, and the law may present a much more complicated picture that blurs the boundaries between crime and policing. These studies underline that vigilantism cannot be seen “just as a result of a state failure” (Arias 2013). Vigilantism\, they show\, does not solely emerge in the absence of an effective and non-corrupt judiciary and police structures\, but may very well be incorporated into state security practices and frequently occurs in collusion with the state (Abrahams\, 1998; Barker 2006; Buur\, 2006; Goldstein\, 2003; Schubert\, 2013). Our research\, similarly\, indicates that vigilante violence may well augment and strengthen the state through its shouldering of stately responsibilities and (extralegal) violence against alleged criminals and the “enemies within.” Recent outbursts of vigilante violence in Russia\, Latin America\, India\, Turkey\, the UK\, and the US\, we argue\, invite us to rethink its localized reconfigurations in relation to haunting legacies of colonialism\, racism\, economic inequalities\, religious tensions\, oppressive gendered structures\, and post-Cold War polarizations.\nAttending to the recent resurrection of vigilantism and its socio-political reverberations across the globe\, this workshop explores vigilantism as a symptom that invites us to attend the complex and uneasy relationship between crime and policing as well as legal and extralegal forms of law enforcement\, criminality\, impunity\, politics\, and statecraft. \n\nPROGRAM\n(please check your timezone by clicking on the time) \nDAY I (May 20\, 2021\, Thursday) (Eventbrite) \nWelcoming Remarks by the Organizers 12:15 CEST \nPANEL I: Conceptualizing Vigilantism 12:30-14:30 CEST \nMelina C.
