Ankündigungstext:
The prison is a space of social exclusion, of juridical deprivation, of moral indifference, and of economic exploitation. As such, it can well be considered as the negative other of democracy and the rule of law. In this one day workshop, scholars working in the United States and in Germany will come together to share their different philosophical perspectives on the prison and their political experiences of engagement within and against the prison.
Why should the prison and criminal justice be an urgent matter of philosophical reflection? What can philosophers learn from prisoners in developing a socially grounded philosophical critique of the prison? Do conceptions of restorative justice, decarceration and abolitionism provide a viable and democratic perspective beyond the prison?
