Transformare l'organizzazione dei luoghi di detenzione: persone transgender e gender nonconforming tra diritti e identità (Transforming the Organization of Detention Facilities: Transgender and Gender Nonconforming People Between Rights and Identity) is a 2018 academic book that explores the experiences of transgender and gender nonconforming (TGNC) people in the prison system.[1] Written by Paolo Valerio, Carmen Bertolazzi, Porpora Marcasciano, Luigi Maria Sicca, and Alexander Hochdorn, the book examines how the prison environment interacts with gender identity, focusing on issues of rights, identity, and marginalization.[2][3]

Overview

[edit]

The book discusses the "double detention" faced by TGNC individuals: physical incarceration and the repression of gender identity within a rigid institutional structure. It argues that prisons are not just physical spaces but also organizational environments where societal norms are reinforced, making them particularly difficult for TGNC people.[4] The authors call for a more inclusive approach to prison management, recognizing the unique challenges these individuals face.[5][6][7]

Structure

[edit]

Transformare l'organizzazione dei luoghi di detenzione is divided into sections that analyze both the organizational aspects of prisons and the personal experiences of TGNC inmates. It incorporates philosophical reflections on time, space, and the body, linking them to the practical realities of life in detention.[8]

The book features a preface by Luigi Maria Sicca and a postface by Alexander Hochdorn, which frame the discussion within broader philosophical and sociological contexts.[9]
