    Living behind symbolic and concrete barriers of total institutions: Reflections on the transition between domestic symbolic patriarchal imprisonment and co-governed, state-sponsored incarceration in Perú
    (Queensland University of Technology, 2020-07-27)
    This article seeks to analyse the paradox of freedom and imprisonment, reflecting on the connections between and nuances of intimate partner violence and abuse (IPVA) and women's imprisonment in the Global South, particularly in Perú. The story follows Maria, a woman serving a 14-year sentence for the homicide of her husband, an act she committed after experiencing 20 years of psychological and physical abuse. I have chosen to focus on her ambivalence towards her experience of IPVA, using Goffman's (1961) concept of the 'total institution'; I suggest that Maria was living under a patriarchal and symbolic total institution, a prison-like home (Avni 1991). Following this, while imprisoned for the homicide of her husband, Maria was physically incapacitated in a co-governed, patriarchal, nation-state prison. Nevertheless, simultaneously, in this custodial setting, she found a semi-autonomous path to reinforce her sense of agency and to construct interpersonal relationships that have enabled her to question the preceding patriarchal norms.

    Resocialization, Gender and the Global South: A Critical Analysis of the Concept Through Women's Experiences in Prisons in Peru
    (SAGE Publications Ltd, 2023-11-01)
    In this article, I critically assess the concept of resocialization through discussions with women in Santa Monica Prison, the largest women's prison in Peru in 2018 and with former women prisoners in 2021. Alongside the formal, institutional gendered and classed forms and ideas of resocialization imposed by the prison, the women themselves innovate and develop new, collective and individual pathways to change. While few entirely disrupt the traditional, gendered norms and penal expectations, in their everyday experiences and collective activities, women seek, and sometimes manage to free themselves from patriarchal mandates.

    Collaging prisons: re-imagining art and confinement spaces
    (Policy Press, 2025-10-01)
    This article deepens the analysis of art production within penal contexts from a feminist decolonial perspective, centring on the project 'Women's Symbolic Prisons and Agencies' in Lima, Peru. This initiative engages incarcerated women in exploring the fluid boundaries between symbolic and material prisons, resistance, and agency through individual and collective collages. The article can be read in two ways: through its text or its images, offering a dual approach that expands reflections on prison art as both theory and methodology. We analyse three key themes: (1) the intermingled representation of femininity, confinement and freedom; (2) collage as silent solidarity and individual expression; and (3) tunnels and relational dynamics between 'inside' and 'outside'. While prison art is embedded within carceral control, it also serves as a site of personal and collective resistance, broadening connections between the imprisoned and the outside world. By creating new ways of knowledge production, it challenges dominant perceptions of prisoners and imprisonment.
