Abolitionistische Impulse für eine Sozialgeographie institutioneller Räume

Abstract

This intervention argues for a German carceral geography that takes the framework of abolition seriously to develop a deeper understanding and critique of the exercise of power in institutional space. My claim is that we need to adapt abolition as a theoretical perspective and form of knowledge that allows us to expand the analysis of carceral practices and rationalities beyond imprisonment to include other institutional spaces of racializing, classing and disabling marginalisation.
