Analyzing Social Ties in Total Institutions
Författare
Summary, in English
a “home” in the countryside, away from his or her original urban social
ties. An ironic result is new social ties with other juvenile delinquents as they spend a considerable amount of time together at a secluded institution. Drawing on ethnographic studies in residential care institutions, this article discusses two aspects to consider when analyzing social ties in such settings: the institutional prerequisites for and the everyday achievement of isolation and intimacy.
