Zemiology Beyond the Critique of Capitalism
Zemiology is an evolving critical perspective that focuses on understanding and responding to social harm, particularly the ‘lawful but awful’ acts and/or omissions by powerful actors such as states, both locally and globally (e.g., Hillyard et al., 2004). Therefore, it challenges the doxas of mainstream criminology, which hold that legally defined crimes depict and address the most serious harms in each society. Zemiology underscores the sociall…
The Modern State as Colonial
This chapter conceptualises a globally attentive zemiology, drawing on Back (2009), who calls for global attentivity in sociology. For Back (2009: 1.15), sociology ‘needs to think more about what it dismisses as unthinkable – be it the history of empire in its own modern formation or the contemporary turn to the sacred and otherworldly – in order to extend the boundaries of its imagination to a worldly scale’. In calling for a globally attentive …
Eating Cats and Dogs? Trump, the Crimmigrant Other, and the Multi-species Moral Economy of Personhood
On September 10th 2024, then former president and presidential candidate Donald Trump participated in a presidential debate on the USA television network ABC, alongside then Vice President and presidential candidate Kamala Harris. During this debate, he stated the following
Falling from a cliff-face’ into the necropolitical abyss
We reconceptualise the experience of people with sexual convictions leaving prison, as being in , but not of , the community. Release from prison can be characterised as falling into a necropolitical abyss, which entails extreme social exclusion. Via our interview data we extend current understanding on this transition, as we newly theorise the severity of the cliff-face drop, the post-prison precarity and the deathworld experience. Escape from t…
Epistemic Harm
Zemiology challenges narrow criminological frames in providing frameworks through which social harm can be understood beyond that which is criminalised. It has, though, been relatively inattentive to harms at the epistemic level. Engaging and developing Miranda Fricker’s scholarship, this conceptual/theoretical article produces a concept of epistemic harm, thereby promoting conceptual expansion and theoretical reformulation of zemiology. In turn,…
Decolonizing Zemiology
This paper hosts the first meaningful dialogue between two important epistemic movements for criminology: zemiology and decolonisation. I identify that zemiology has a disciplinary blindness to colonialism and explain this using Gurminder K. Bhambra’s scholarship—and cognate scholarship—as a frame. Three cases—Pemberton’s Harmful Societies, Grenfell, and Border Zemiology—are selected for their critical importance within zemiology. They are used t…
Technicolour Eruptions of Light in the Darkness
Fast-track fisticuffs? An ethnographic exploration of time and white-collar boxing
Whilst white-collar boxing at first appears to be named according to the social class of its practitioners, this paper will argue that this initial appearance is misleading. Based on the analysis of 32 interviews and six months of ethnographic data collection at a boxing club in the English Midlands, it argues that white-collar boxers do not recognise the classed connotations of the term white-collar, to which sociologists tend to be accustomed. …
On white-collar boxing and social class
This article is based on the first sociological research of white-collar boxing in the UK. Grounded in an ethnography of a boxing gym in the Midlands, the article argues that the term 'white-collar boxing' in this context is immediately misleading, and entails the term being used in a way with which sociologists are unaccustomed. Whereas white-collar boxing originated in the context of post-industrial New York City as a pastime only for the extre…
