Makt inom socialt arbete, speciellt inom myndighetsutövning, har varit ett återkommande tema under vår tid på socionomprogrammet vid Linköpings universitet. Däremot har det talats mindre kring makt inom verksamheter som arbetar på uppdrag av socialtjänsten. Att socialarbetare på exempelvis SiSinstitutioner har ett maktövertag gentemot de placerade ungdomarna, i form av exempelvis indragna permissioner och inlåsning, är något som forskarna inom ämnet är överens om. Under vår verksamhetsförlagda utbildning (VFU) upptäckte vi att socialarbetare som arbetar på uppdrag av socialtjänsten har stort handlingsutrymme i sitt arbete då vi båda genomförde vår VFU inom sådana verksamheter. Det bekräftas även av litteraturen som menar att det medför dilemman för personalen. Studien syftar till att undersöka och analysera hur personal på en SiS-institution för ungdomar beskriver och resonerar kring sin maktbefogenhet och sitt handlingsutrymme. För att undersöka detta har vi genomfört åtta semistrukturerade intervjuer på en SiS-institution belägen i Sverige. Genom intervjuerna fann vi tre empiriskt grundade teman: Vi och Dom, “Det jag säger är ju deras lag” samt Maktens och handlingsutrymmets tvetydighet. Studiens analys vilar på Erving Goffmans Totala institutioner och Michel Foucaults teori om makt, med teoriernas tillhörande begrepp. Utifrån intervjuerna framkommer det att personalen resonerar olika kring sitt handlingsutrymme. Vissa anser att de har stort handlingsutrymme, medan andra anser att det är litet. Främst fann vi att personalens arbete styrs av begreppen lugn och säkerhet. Det framkom att personalens makt uttryckte sig genom att dagarna präglades av struktur och fasta tider, samt genom särskilda befogenheter och arbetsmetoden teckenekonomi. Sammanfattningsvis kan det, utifrån det empiriska materialet, konstateras att socialarbetares makt och handlingsutrymme kan ses som tvetydigt då det både stärker och hämmar dem i det dagliga arbetet.

This dissertation is based on a qualitative research project that documents the experiences of nearly 100 elderly African Americans who lived in the total institution of Jim Crow. The collective long lasting psychological effects connected with the racial violence that occurred in the total institution are a critical aspect. In the interviews African Americans shared how on a daily basis they found themselves dealing with anxiety, fear, humiliation, shame, and stress. The narratives were analyzed utilizing the extended case method. The dissertation documents and explores symptoms of a "segregation stress syndrome" for the chronic, enduring, extremely painful experiences and responses to the total institution of Jim Crow that are indicated by numerous respondents in this research project. Preliminary findings indicate that the symptoms of "segregation stress syndrome" are similar to PTSD symptoms documented in psychiatric literature. However, "segregation stress syndrome" differs from PTSD because the traumatic experience was not a one-time occurrence; it was sustained, over time, in African American communities. In addition, the racial violence that occurred was a form of systematic chronic stress, the type that has been shown to have a detrimental impact on a person's psychological well-being. Lastly, the historical and collective trauma that ensued has contributed to an intergenerational aspect of "segregation stress syndrome." The intergenerational aspect predisposes some younger African Americans to psychological damage, stress, and trauma even though contemporary forms of racial violence are seemingly less damaging.

The general objective of the reseach was discuss the prison institution and it's porosity, using as exemple the language of the internal, that is, the use and the non use of different forms of comunication, action where we can observe the relation that each internal has with the prison institution and between them. It was possible to observe a relation between the use and non use of certain forms of comunication among the internals and how they stand front of the institutionalization. The importance of this work is evidenced, considering the statistical data. Currently, Brasil has six times the amount of imprisoned of the end of 80's decade, owning the fifth largest female imprisoned population. The research was produced from the bibliographical revision about the theme, analysis of disponibilized data by the administration of the prison ant the realization of direct observation in CRESF for approximately one year. With the research was possible to evidence that the total institution, concept defended by Erving Goffman, presents porosity in the case fo the referenced female prison. In this sense, affirms that doesn't have a mortification of the "me" in a homogeneous way that reach all the internals. The use or non-use of the language elaborated by the internals reveals the diversity existent and the relation that each internal has with the institution, how some consider the prison a place or a non-place. / A presente dissertação expõe os resultados da pesquisa realizada no Centro de Reintegração Social Feminino na cidade de Foz do Iguaçu (CRESF). O objetivo geral da pesquisa foi discutir a instituição prisional e suas porosidades, usando como exemplo a linguagem das internas, ou seja, o uso e o não uso de diferentes formas de comunicação, ação que podemos observar a relação que cada interna possui com a instituição prisional e entre elas. Foi possível observar uma relação entre o uso e o não uso de certas formas de comunicação entre as internas e como se posicionam diante da institucionalização. A importância deste trabalho é evidenciada considerando os dados estatísticos. Atualmente, o Brasil possui o sêxtuplo da quantidade de encarcerados do final da década de 1980, possuindo a quinta maior população carcerária feminina do mundo. A pesquisa foi produzida a partir da revisão bibliográfica sobre o tema, análise dos dados disponibilizados pela administração da prisão e a realização da observação direta no CRESF por aproximadamente um ano. Com a pesquisa pôde-se evidenciar que a instituição total, conceito defendido por Erving Goffman, apresenta porosidades no caso da prisão feminina referenciada. Nesse sentido, afirma-se que não há uma mortificação do eu de uma forma homogênea e que atinge a todas as internas. O uso ou não-uso da linguagem elaborada pelas internas demonstra a diversidade existente e a relação que cada interna possui com a instituição, como algumas consideram a prisão um lugar ou um não-lugar.

This thesis is concerned with the transformation of prostitutes and other women in the magdalen asylums, the convict refuge, and the certified inebriate reformatory conducted by a roman catholic order of nuns in nineteenth century Britain. Laundry work came to play a central role in the activities expected of the women admitted to these quasi-monastic houses. Its significance is examined in terms of organisational and symbolic correspondences with the structure and ideology of transformative institutions directed to christian conversion. The thesis initially identifies different organisational forms and the ideology revealed by the long-span history of convent refuges. It goes on to consider the problems that tradition posed in the later institutions. The historical account, ordered around a primary sociological concern with transformation, discloses the struggle between the nuns, the secular authorities, and others, to assert differing ideas of religion, morality, and work. The theoretical discussion examines the structure and process of transformation, and the system of classification and control on which it is based. Moving from the notion of Total Institution, the analysis formulates a sociological model of the refuge as a 'Theopticon'. This provides a stable context for a pattern of transformations ranging from the laundry work to the liturgy. The analysis also deals with the role and status of the long-term transformand in pursuit of christian holiness. The theoretical model is then taken back to analyse the major issues raised by the historical account: the persistence of laundry work in the refuges, the nuns' resistance to public inspection and control, and their refusal to pay wages to the penitent women. The historical data is largely derived from primary sources and includes architectural, statistical, and photographic material, as well as documentary evidence.

Background: Cultural projects are increasingly being implemented to help inmates cope with their situations. Nevertheless, research has been scarce in relation to the experiences of the cultural workers implementing the projects within the Prison and Probation Service (PPS). Objective: The study intends to explore the experiences of Skådebanan’s cultural workers in the implementation of cultural projects in relation to the Swedish PPS and the inmates. More specifically, the study addresses two research questions: (1) How do cultural workers experience the interactions with the inmates while implementing cultural projects? (2) How do cultural workers experience the relations with the Prison and Probation Service while planning and implementing cultural projects?  Method: Data was gathered from six cultural workers, working in five regional associations, through four surveys and one interview. These were qualitatively analyzed using a thematic approach. The themes found were then interpreted using Goffman’s theories on “total institution” and the “dramaturgical self”.  Results: The results showed how, according to the cultural workers’ perspective, their interactions with inmates and their relations with PPS were mostly positive, with the exceptions of few challenges. Conclusion: This study can give insights into the interactions that cultural workers have during the implementation of cultural projects with the inmates and the PPS, which might be helpful in the understanding of challenges and facilitators of the implementation process. Nevertheless, further research is needed.

This thesis is about assessments of young people in secure accommodations. Institutional assessments relate to the paradox in child welfare of combining control and care. The procedure raises questions about their implications for young people, their caseworkers and evolving care trajectories. Although institutional assessments of young people have a historical heritage, research about their implications is lacking. The aim of the thesis is to explore young people’s and their caseworkers’ experiences of assessments in secure accommodations and their implications for young people’s care trajectories. Methods used are primarily repeated interviews with 16 young people during a period of two years and one interview with their caseworkers. Surveys about 85 youths, participatory observations and written assessments are also included. This thesis takes an interactionist approach and the material has been analysed with the main concept of care trajectory along with the concepts of self-presentation, total institution, institutional identity and texts as coordinators. The results are presented in four papers. The concluding analysis shows that assessments in secure accommodations can be divided into three elements: the practice, the text and the placement. These three elements have different implications for the young people and the caseworkers. For the young people the practice and the placement converge into an assessment universe that, with the text, intensifies their shaping of self-identity. The young people’s experiences are characterised by lack of control over their self-presentations, the present and the future. For the caseworkers, the practice has implications for their understanding of the young people’s individual troubles, the text for negotiating with other actors and the placement in their efforts to achieve change in the young people’s troublesome situations. The assessments’ implications for stability and foreseeability in the young people’s further care trajectories are limited. Moreover, the procedure of assessing young people in itself contains instability through involving several professionals in different parts of the assessment and decision-making process. Despite lack of stability, the thesis reveals that some young people experience the assessment as a place for self-development and where the course of the care trajectory changes to the better.

A presente dissertação tem como objetivo enfocar a questão educacional, especificamente no campo da educação não formal, ofertada aos adolescentes no contexto privativo de liberdade, na Fundação CASA, instituição destinada à internação dos adolescentes acusados de cometerem atos infracionais em São Paulo. Foram entrevistados oito educadores que atuaram ou atuam com jovens na Fundação CASA por meio de oficinas no campo da educação não formal e uma adolescente egressa. Buscou-se compreender como esses sujeitos definem e percebem as atividades voltadas à educação nesse ambiente. Investigou-se, a partir da interpretação e análise das entrevistas e das experiências vividas, as maneiras pelas quais são desenvolvidas atividades pedagógicas/educacionais na Fundação CASA e se é possível educar com liberdade ou para a liberdade, em meio ao contexto de punição e de violência no qual os jovens estigmatizados estiveram inseridos. Os resultados demonstram que práticas no campo da educação não formal, dentro do contexto privativo de liberdade, por mais que não se tornem libertárias, devido ao paradoxo em se pretender alguma liberdade dentro de uma instituição total, algo irrealizável, pode proporcionar aos envolvidos momentos importantes de relativa liberdade e criação / This dissertation aims to focus on the educational issue, specifically in the field of non-formal education, offered to adolescents in the context of deprivation of liberty, at the Fundação CASA, an institution intended for the hospitalization of adolescents accused of committing infractions in São Paulo. Eight educators who worked or work with young people at the Fundação CASA were interviewed through workshops in the field of non-formal education and one egressed adolescent. We sought to understand how these subjects define and perceive activities aimed at education in this environment. From the interpretation and analysis of the interviews and the lived experiences, we investigated the ways in which pedagogical / educational activities are carried out at the Fundação CASA and whether it is possible to educate freely or for freedom, in the context of punishment and violence in which the stigmatized young people were inserted. The results show that practices in the field of non-formal education, within the context of deprivation of liberty, however much they do not become libertarian, due to the paradox that some freedom within a total institution, something unreachable, can provide those involved with important moments. of relative freedom and creation

O objetivo deste trabalho é investigar o que estrutura a experiência da internação como forma de punição de adolescentes. A partir da pesquisa de campo realizada em unidades da Fundação CASA, trata-se de buscar compreender como as práticas e rotinas dessa instituição se relacionam com as concepções sobre punição de adolescentes definindo essa experiência para os adolescentes nela internados. A pesquisa consistiu na entrevista com adolescentes de uma unidade de semiliberdade que estavam em progressão de medida; e em visitas a uma unidade de internação. A unidade de internação foi analisada neste trabalho a partir do conceito de instituição total que, a partir da suspensão da obviedade da situação, possibilita pensar de que forma os elementos que constituem essa situação comunicam sentidos e informações que atuam sobre o indivíduo e servem de guias para a ação. Com isso, o comportamento e as interações dos adolescentes internados foram interpretados não como consequências de sua trajetória ou efeitos de sua personalidade, mas como resultado dessa experiência de punição e como efeitos da socialização operada nesse espaço. Tendo em vista as especificidades das práticas punitivas para adolescentes, a tensão existente entre a concepção repressiva e a concepção recuperadora (ou pedagógica) na condução do controle da criminalidade juvenil mostrou-se central tanto nos discursos sobre e legislações para a punição de adolescentes, quanto nas práticas das instituições de internação. Por um lado, a concepção pedagógica possui grande legitimidade e, partindo do status de pessoa em desenvolvimento dos adolescentes, integra os objetivos oficiais e efeitos intencionados das unidades de internação. Esta concepção se manifesta nos esforços para transformação do adolescente mediante o Plano Individual de Atendimento. Por outro lado, baseados no perigo iminente por lidarem com criminosos, as práticas e os procedimentos de segurança da rotina institucional informam um perigo iminente também para os internos. O processo conflituoso que todos os internos vivem de tentar proteger seu self desta definição prescrita é acompanhado pela tensão de se relacionar com aqueles cuja definição também decorre desta informação básica de pertencer a uma instituição destinada a indivíduos perigosos. A fim de evitar que esse perigo se realize, um caos violento e sem regulação, vê-se multiplicar as normas de conduta que / I seek to investigate how the confinement experience as means of punishment is structured. Through fieldwork in Fundação CASA units I aim to understand how the institutional practices and routines are in relation with conceptions of juvenile justice and the way it defines the experience of juvenile inmates. The research was based on visits to a juvenile detention center and interviews with inmates in a semi-liberty unit with progressive measure. The institution is analyzed through the concept of total institution, which allows one to reflect on how its elements communicate meaning and information which, in turn, act upon the inmate and serve as a guide for his behavior. The juveniles behavior and interactions were interpreted not as consequence of their personality or life course, but instead, as resulting from the punishment experience and the socialization of the environment. The tension between educational and repressive ideas of punishment, typical of juvenile justice, was central to the legislation and institutional practices. On one side, educational views have more legitimacy and, based on the not-yet-person status of juveniles, integrates the institutions official aims and intended effects. This view manifests itself in the attempt to change the juvenile through the Individual Accompaniment Plan. On the other side, based on the imminent danger of dealing with criminals, the security procedures of the institutional routine also inform the inmates of an imminent danger. The conflictive process in trying to protect ones self from prescribed definition is accompanied by tensions in relating with those whose definition also results from the information associated with belonging to an institution meant for dangerous individuals. To avoid the becoming of such danger, there is an increase in rules for conduct that may regulate these interactions and thus, guarantee predictability.
