Learning unit contents
The course proposes to jointly tackle two distinct fields of investigation: land use planning (and architecture) on the one hand, and deviance (or criminality in the broad sense) on the other. Criminology and territory come together in many very diverse aspects. Either because many criminological theories contain a clear spatial dimension, or because architecture is sometimes a partial answer to criminological questions. The course aims to provide a general overview of the links between these disciplines.
Cross-cutting lines of thought
The courses approaches the following 4 cross-cutting axes:
Urban art / practices, street art, tags and graffiti, art and marginality, stigmatization and labeling (Becker), protest
Sustainability / urban ecology (Chicago school), eco-districts and sustainable cities, gentrification, diversity
Sensitive society / neighborhoods, social divide, urban violence, coercion, social control, justice, psychiatry
Digital / contemporary societies, network city, network actor theory, surveillance and control, new digital public space, privacy
Learning outcomes of the learning unit
The target is to arouse in the student a particular intellectual posture, by giving him the necessary theoretical bases, allowing to address questions as diverse as: the birth of gated communities, the development of slums, the question of the homeless, urban violence, coercion and punishment (prisons, closed centers ...), the area of ¿¿justice (courts and tribunals), control of public space, sensitive neighborhoods, territories in times of war , the organization of the police, or techno-prevention and social control ... At the end of the course, the student will be able to understand, explain and articulate different theories and concepts in criminology with the question of territory and architecture in the broad sense. He will also be able to identify the issues of particular projects (prisons, courts, psychiatric centers, refugee camps, etc.) and to situate the role of the architect in these particular contexts.
Prerequisite knowledge and skills
Planned learning activities and teaching methods
The course consists of 10 sessions of 4 hours. This is an ex catedra theoretical course. A few external speakers may be invited depending on the themes (criminologists, sociologists, psychologists, police, magistrates, social actors, etc.). As far as possible and under sanitary conditions, one or more visits could be organized (prisons, IPPJ, courts, psychiatric center, etc.)At the end of the course, the student will be required to produce a personal summary of at least one of the 10 sessions. The modalities will be specified during the quadrimester
Mode of delivery (face to face, distance learning, hybrid learning)
Unless otherwise required due to the health situation, the course is organized face-to-face. Where appropriate, videos will be uploaded
