Norms and Illegality: Intimate Ethnographies and Politics explores
liminal and illegal practices in relation to political control and
cultural normativity. The contributors draw on years of
ethnographic experiences in Greece, Guatemala, Hong Kong, Italy,
Madagascar, Mali, Philippines, and Thailand to study the
contradictions of what is legal and illegal. They explore the
production of illegal subjects by the state, the creation of
illegal and normative values by liminal and illegal actors, and the
mutual entanglements of legal and illegal in the public domains of
markets and trade networks. This volume shows that criminalization
policies are not necessarily oriented toward erasing crime.
Instead, the contributors maintain that opaque spaces ensure the
efficacy of control and outwardly conform to the rhetoric and
ethics of global neoliberalism. Within these contexts, the
contributors shed light on moral economies and frames of value
entailed in systems of representation that have been set up by
individuals who are deemed illegal, liminal, or deviant in their
confrontations with the state.
