Cleaning up Los Angeles
Focusing specifically on sanitation services in Los Angeles (LA) City, I examine (1) how various stakeholders socially construct and mobilise around breakdowns in public infrastructure and (2) how technology is used, both practically and politically, to address breakdowns. Through an archival analysis of six years of LA City Council documents and proceedings, supplemented by interviews with four key informants, I demonstrate how, in 2014 Los Ange…

Electronic Surveillance in Immigration Court
Through a mixed-methods approach that draws on over 4000 pages of organizational documents and two quantitative data sets from federal and state entities, the authors ask, has the growth of electronic surveillance by local criminal justice agencies, with corresponding database interoperability and information sharing, changed how federal agencies—specifically immigration agencies—operate? We focus on the CalGang Database, California’s statewide g…
Proxêmica linguístico-discursiva
A partir das contribuições conceituais de proxêmica e de proxêmica verbal, propomos, neste artigo, a construção do conceito de proxêmica linguístico-discursiva, que, em linhas gerais, constitui um mecanismo, ao mesmo tempo, (não)linguístico e discursivo, responsável pela regulação das distâncias interlocutivas. Para tanto, utilizaremos três textos empíricos, com a finalidade de dar visibilidade a esse mecanismo em três campos teóricos distintos: …
Borderland Circuitry
Gang Phantasmagoria
Through an analysis of interviews with Southern California attorneys, supplemented by archival materials, this article contributes to the literature on gangs, critical criminology, and Gothic tropes by examining how the ambiguous nature of gang profiling allows state actors to target racialized others in various legal and administrative venues with little evidence and few procedural protections. I conceptualize gang phantasmagoria as the constant…
A enunciação de pedidos como estratégia de (im)polidez no contexto de ensino de português brasileiro como língua adicional
Nesta pesquisa, investigamos, no contexto de ensino de português brasileiro como língua adicional, como se dá a negociação de estratégias linguísticas e não linguísticas de (im)polidez relacionadas à enunciação de pedidos. No debate concernente à (im)polidez, consideramos o ato de pedir (LABOV; FANSHEL, 1977; CODY et al., 1983; TRACY et al., 1984; CRAIG et al., 1986), inspirados em Kerbrat-Orecchioni (2004), um fenômeno universal (LAKOFF, 1973; L…
Secondary ensnarement
Relatively little scholarly work explores US interior immigration enforcement through a surveillance lens. This article asks how US immigration authorities have designed and deployed surveillance systems to facilitate enforcement practices, specifically regarding the construction of immigrant subjects and interior apprehension and deportation. Drawing upon a qualitative analysis of 291 Department of Homeland Security documents authored between 19…
Police, Power, and the Production of Racial Boundaries
Based on five years of ethnography, archival research, census data analysis, and interviews, Police, Power, and the Production of Racial Boundaries reveals how the LAPD, city prosecutors, and business owners struggled to control who should be considered “dangerous” and how they should be policed in Los Angeles. Sociologist Ana Muñiz shows how these influential groups used policies and everyday procedures to criminalize behaviors commonly associat…
Police, Power, and the Production of Racial Boundaries
Disorderly community partners and broken windows policing
How do residents in community groups define deviance, community, and their relationship to local government? Relying upon approximately two years of multi-method ethnography, I argue that despite law enforcement attempts at dissuasion, community group members utilize the broken windows theory to portray street vending as a harbinger of crime. Residents request police action and demand government services based on the self-adopted identities of vi…
