A través de este estudio etnográfico y archivístico, queremos reflexionar sobre la manera en que se aborda el acceso a la justicia y la penalidad cotidiana en Chile en la década del 1990 y el 2000.

Until the end of the 1980s, many of the Muslims living in Greek Thrace –who are European citizens – used to emigrate illegally and to seek asylum in Turkey.

Qu’est-ce qu’une « communauté » ? Partons du constat que ce terme estéminemment polysémique. D’un point de vue étique, il s’agit d’uneconstruction intellectuelle inscrite dans plusieurs traditions sociologiques,et qui a parfois pu être constituée en idéal-type d’une organisationsociale, ce qui pose une question centrale : la communauté estelleun un...
