• W4200418899 abstract "Sensory Penalities is the first detailed exploration of sensory experience across penal research, originating from a conference panel on ‘The Sensual Prison’ convened by the collection's three editors, Herrity, Schmidt and Warr, at the 2018 European Society of Criminology conference. The resulting volume comprises four thematic parts, which broadly mirror the stages of a research project, charting the processes of evaluating methods and methodologies, conducting fieldwork, assessing positionality and reflecting on findings. The first section, ‘Making Sense of the Sensory’, considers the methods and methodologies that can be employed when researching sensory experiences of penal spaces. Herrity and Warr each draw on their personal histories to respectively consider aural ‘sensemaking’ (p.3) in the pub and the prison, and to evaluate the bodily feeling of ‘trappedness’ (p.21) in prison, epitomised by the experience of a cell fire. In similarly personal accounts of sensory research, Collinson, Scott and McNeill describe using creative literary and musical methods in an act of ‘affective solidarity’ (p.51) with those undergoing supervision, while Stanley reflects on her own position and presence as an ethnographer charting the ‘intense journey’ (p.63) of one man's end-of-life care in prison. The sensory inquiries described in this section are grounded in personal experience, and require the researcher to actively evaluate and reflect on their own sensory perceptions as part of the research process. Part Two is entitled ‘Sensing the Field’ and focuses on the collection of sensory data during fieldwork. These chapters explore the sensory experiences present in prison systems outside the Global North, recounting research in post-revolutionary Tunisia (Schmidt and Jefferson), Nicaragua (Weegels), and the Dominican Republic (Peirce), as well as in probation approved premises in the UK (Reeves). The section thus encompasses sensory experiences present in a wide range of penal settings and cultural contexts. In this section, familiar themes from extant penal research, such as prison overcrowding, behaviour codes, institutionalisation and surveillance, are re-examined via research processes that privilege the sensory impacts of these carceral experiences, offering a ‘fuller and more rounded appreciation’ (p.121) (to borrow Reeves's words) of these familiar concepts. The third (and shortest) part of the volume is ‘Subverting the Senses’, which foregrounds the position of the researcher. The two chapters in the section examine Scandinavian penal spaces: Canning describes her research into immigration confinement at Denmark's Ellebæk detention centre; and Flower discusses ethnography carried out in courtrooms in Sweden. Both chapters emphasise the rich sensory data available in both settings, which Flower terms ‘[a] bounty of sensory empirical material – a treasure trove of jewels’ (p.159), while also acknowledging the degrees of sensory and ethical discomfort that can arise for the ethnographic researcher, as they witness and document penal practices. The experiences recounted in these chapters also represent a valuable sensory challenge to claims of Scandinavian penal exceptionalism. The fourth and final section, ’Sensory Reflections’, sees researchers contemplate their own processes through a sensory lens, to consider the implication and value of sensorial approaches. Jewkes and Young provide a sensory account of their visit to Kyoto Prison, reflecting on the similarities and differences between Japanese and Western prisons, with the aim of documenting a carceral system that is ‘largely hidden in Western criminology’ (p.177). The final three chapters see Smoyer, O'Donnell and Fraser each revisit one of their prior research projects from a sensory perspective: interviewing incarcerated people with HIV in the US; visiting a prison in Ethiopia; and conducting street-based youth outreach work, respectively. The authors of these chapters re-evaluate the sensory dimensions of their research, thereby capturing what Smoyer terms ‘The Everything Else’ that occurs during fieldwork, detailing sensory encounters and insights that may be missed by more traditional research methods. When reading Sensory Penalities, the prevailing impression is of newness and innovation, and this appears to be the ethos underpinning the project. This edited collection is the first in the new series ‘Emerald Studies in Culture, Criminal Justice and the Arts’, which aims ‘to take criminological inquiry in new and imaginative directions’ (Emerald Publishing 2021). The volume itself sets out to explain how penal research can be enriched through the consideration of sensory experience, with the aim of establishing ‘a path towards a new sensory epistemology in criminology’ (p.xxix). The collection's editors are some of the most exciting scholars to have emerged in criminology in recent years, and they encourage their contributors to explore new and creative approaches in planning, delivering, and reporting contemporary criminological research. The resulting chapters are methodologically inventive, thematically diverse, refreshingly readable and inherently personal, as the contributors reflect on the array of sensory experiences present in contemporary penal systems. At the same time, the editors are at pains to position sensory penalities as the logical continuation of, rather than an alternative to, extant research in criminology. An opening chapter sets out the background for the project with theoretical and methodological rigour, referencing existing criminological discourse, as well as sensory ethnography within anthropology. A foreword by Alison Liebling and an afterword by Eamonn Carrabine both provide further evidence of the project's criminological pedigree, and the validity of its call for researchers to ‘take sensory data seriously’ (p.xxxi). Throughout the volume, the contributors describe how being attentive to the sensory (whether their own experiences or those of participants) has enriched their research, contributing something additional and distinct from more standard qualitative practices. For the contributors, sensory data ‘can add heft and nuance’ (p.203); it ‘enriches understanding’ (p.16) and contributes ‘an additional layer of understanding’ (p.122), allowing researchers to produce ‘a more authentic representation of our shared humanity’ (p.202). The new methods and approaches championed in Sensory Penalities offer a blueprint for a new and more human approach to criminological research. It will be exciting to see and hear (and perhaps smell, taste or touch) the research that emerges from this sensory mode of inquiry." @default.
