Open Seminar: The punitive turn in Latin America. Conditions, processes and effects. Professor Máximo Sozzo - University of Cambridge
by prog.dys＠listas.unl.edu.ar
*Monday February 22The punitive turn in Latin America. Conditions,
processes and effects*
In all Latin American countries today the incarceration rates are
substantially higher than 30 years ago. In some extreme cases, such as El
Salvador or Brazil, the incarcerated population increased fivefold. But
almost all countries experienced between a tripling and a doubling of their
incarceration rate in this period. For its understanding, various
approaches to the punitive turn built around the case of the USA - such as
the 'late modern penality thesis' or the 'neoliberal penality thesis' -
have been frequently used, reproducing a long history of uncritical
importation of concepts and arguments produced in the Global North that
crosses, in general, the field of studies on the criminal question in the
Global South. However, these applications face insurmountable obstacles. In
this presentation I will exemplify this with the arguments built around the
relationship between inequality and punitiveness in the Global North and
the paradoxical (from this point of view) recent trends in Latin America.
Then I will seek to provide some interpretative keys that consider
macroscopic elements of social life but give special weight to certain
‘proximate’ processes and dynamics in relation to penal practices and
outcomes that are linked to the role of political programs, strategies and
struggles and their impact on the exercise of the power to punish.
