Cultural and communicational practices in confinement. The prison and its meanings under dispute

Prison as a penal agency of the State strengthens, consolidates and intensifies, over those who inhabit it social meanings that place the detainee as surplus, excess and defect. From the theoretical perspective of cultural studies, we recognize communication as a field of material and symbolic fight where the senses that constitute us are disputed. In that sense, registering the experience of the workshop of communication and journalism in two prisons in the south of the province of Santa Fe (Argentina), we will investigate the subjective, institutional and political effects generated by the communication practices of the everyday life in confinement.
