Abstract

Tomando como eje una carpeta compuesta de 129 documentos penitenciarios guardados por una mujer a la que he llamado Simone, este artículo pretende profundizar en el significado del encarcelamiento para las mujeres extranjeras recluidas en el País Vasco. Mediante un caso concreto e ilustrativo, y a partir de aportaciones antropológicas feministas y relativas a la cultura material, se abordan tres aspectos: (i) las interacciones entre sujeto y objeto; (ii) las desigualdades de género, clase social y etnia/raza en el sistema penitenciario; (iii) la agencia y las prácticas de resistencia cotidianas para mitigar los efectos del encierro.A folder consisting of 129 prison documents kept by a woman I named Simone is the central topic of the current paper, which seeks to delve into the meaning of imprisonment for foreign women imprisoned in the Basque Country. Through a specific and illustrative case, and using feminist anthropological contributions and proposals about material culture, three topics will be addressed: (i) interactions between the subject and the object; (ii) inequalities related to gender, social class and ethic group/race; (iii) agency and daily resistance techniques to reduce the effects of imprisonment.
