    Residual Categories and Disciplinary Knowledge: Personal Identity in Sociological and Forensic Investigations

    Get PDF
    A central feature of the development of sociological knowledge is the formulation and use of "descriptive frames of reference" within which theoretical and empirical work may be critically assessed. This article considers the way in which one such frame of reference—that developed by Erving Goffman to represent the variety of human science understandings of the nature of identity in social interaction—distinguished between "personal," "social," and "self" identity. The relative neglect of the first of these three categorizations is noted. Following Garfinkel's suggestions for the "respecification" of social analysis, this article suggests the usefulness of an approach to the neglected issue of personal identity that suspends theoretical stipulation about an abstract noun in favor of an ethnographic study of a particular occupational group—forensic investigators—for whom an orientation to personal identities is a recurrent accountable practical concern

    Prison on Screen in Italy: From “Shame Therapy” Propaganda to Citizenship Programmes

    No full text
    Italian cinema provides a nuanced view of prison, from short movies produced by the Istituto Luce, during the period 1928–1932, when the Fascist regime’s narratives dominated the Italian cinema screens and prison appeared as a fundamental tool of propaganda, through the post-World War II Neorealist stories set amongst the poor and the working class. Now there is the more contemporary “usage” of prison movies. The chapter considers the link between cinema and prison through penological theories and praxis that mirrors societal changes when it comes to defining the meanings and purposes of incarceration. Adopting a broad semiotic approach, the chapter presents an analysis of the content and ideologies behind the representation of prison on screen through the duality between the “shame therapy” propaganda and the making of movies as art therapy in prison projects. The construction of a genealogy of prison-set motion pictures is more than simply providing an overview of the representations and usages of the prison space. By exploring prison and prisoners’ place in society, we address much more complex issues relating to citizenship and belonging
