This international colloquium (Université Grenoble Alpes, June 2027) offers a comparative analysis of the artifacts worn by prisoners - badges, armbands, uniforms - as material devices of classification and hierarchization in prison. Crossing fields from all continents, it represents the first systematic comparison of these objects, in order to analyze the diversity of institutional, legal and material configurations in which they are embedded. The project brings together sociology, anthropology, political science, history, law and geography, as well as the perspectives of research and civil society.
