zu All of You, Welcome to Hamburg. So my
tust this morning is, nothing this than explain,
our theme of this common session to you, crimes against reality.
So crimes against reality, we die beginns with a
sense of nervisness, that might be discribe click this.
More and more crimes, seem less and less visible or crass people.
The real stuff, that chapes our present,
seems to pop up and one spot and then disappear again in
some world of algorithms and financial networks and legal details, when it pops ups
somewhere else again, might that be eben recognizable as kind.
The crime seem with its purpotators, victims and witnesses,
seems like a relict of all times.
And this much investigate as a busy inventing,
you names and regulations or pre-all sorts of pentive methods.
And it as much as we as critical criminologies,
a critical criminologies straight to come up with Theories to fain that.
The real stuff seems to slip of our finders.
Wenn Benedict Lehmann can to resent his findings on financial transactions
equalition and regulation last Oktober. We were taking by what
he this crime as this kind of vanishing of reality in
those minuscue moments of decision making in stock exchange veculations.
Here, Chase ability, responsibility and control scened anything,
but create and we saw this really merited somemore attention and exploration.
So when we said thinking more seriously about this notion of
reality as in accuciotation somewhat as eveparating,
also sorts of intanguments between reality and critical preminology king to
the form
To begin with the is of course,
this long tradition in critical criminality of not taking for granted,
what governments and police and courts, would you clear crime,
a criminal in act of terror or of anti-social behavior?
Naming profiling, crime,
mapping and other forms of labeling with this never seen as innocent,
let alone factual,
but always or ready involved in the inproducing the very criminals
or the danger spaces,
these set
out together
Cultural criminality of course, didn't stop there.
But rather suggested new focal points, from weird to unrebel
the story of crime and violence. The realness of bothm,
the choose of agrenaline in the moments of transgration,
the urban experience and the blurring of the real and
the virtual in the endless proliferation of media images,
when something happens.
And one, it's methodological inventions like instant at neography,
with it's charishing of the here and now.
The perfect tours for capturing,
this video healities of crime
now at these
Yes, and still a lot is changing and this
is commensation wants to attent to entlearn from these changes.
Orway time the impossible and coming down and asking for those realities of prime and trying control,
that mean slow and some would stubble. Let me than,
what you sue some of our ideas, as we are framing,
what might be going to happen over the next, you this.
So special consume will be given to crimes, virtual realities,
as reflected in the tenals on internet and connectivity,
policing the digital age, new collectives,
as well as in the number of other people, non-virtual things.
Well, such virtual realities präsent new challenges for critical criminality.
The more hands on popics of everything policing for example,
aber nomens easy at to glas, because precisely,
because we think, we know so much about them.
The sessions on largs on the training realities urban,
brasilian grounds, but also on making up subjects,
are all attempts to shit, new lights,
new light on the ways, and which people are
put into place. As subjects of detention, police,
profiling, people pressure,
city making
Continuously testing, that very place, as a space for manövring,
and for making alsods of deals with heach adder.
This links as to a frash reflection of governance and politics.
What's new about punishment surveillance and wisk management in den ager
of digital realities, globalized herror and environmental katastrophy?
And we are the guardians overlaw in order themselves and wolved
in shay the business or said crimes against humanity.
The panels on power for crimes on islamic state and on
green criminality will point as to the many in tanglements,
between politics and crime that go beyond beyond beyond criminal justice
or crain control and their
injustices affiliate
It play here is also in national of public choose,
as yeah, weizen my would put it,
that the circulating in the various political legal and digital publics.
And then we have the question on, of how imagination,
speculation or anticipation of future events, shape the ways,
we build cities, and have it our phobias,
or invent, new kinds of predictive policing in the present.
It also involved the shifting boundaries between,
what is made visible and what not,
what's exposed and what is capit on the surface?
And And things we see these boundaries as and constant movement
and they sergic to transcreations of different source,
we discuss them under the benner of shades of chance.
Undergooding our discussions will be the quest for methods. What to
was do we need to enquire intro-criminologies, precarious, virtual
, speculative realities? And what relations between studying divisible and the invisible,
the situation at hand and the infrastructures that enable,
the very transactions that metter.
How much slow analysis of people's lived realities in the
since of in old school realities in do we paps
And what about the facts, and fictions in our own scallerly accounts,
with some serious true fiction, as less back,
would put it perhaps even be closer to reality.
The Hamburg Crime to us that our fabulous students pict for you might
then also be used as small laboritaries for secret investigations,
as you work a long nothing, of course,
on how Crime narratives, I'm scribed into üble space.
Finally, there's a question of critical criminality at self,
there will free in the conference with Jeffs talk in a
few minutes and then leader this after nun with with the challenges to critical kriminality.
It's well as winst these panel discussion on positive kriminology and did
debate on the eality check, back to the roots or what?
Do we care what reality is and whether that it does or should change?
Let me for those last few minutes that I want to
talk experiment and connect these seematics threats,
three notion that could be peps a useful companion, companion to our difficult topic.
Renovation of fabitation. To fabitit means to form and to build and to make,
and to assemble and to invest and them puttly to make up.
And this connects fabrication straight to reality. In the sense that
it means to make reality and sometimes to make up reality.
And they for it happens in the Borderland between twos and force.
What is we get beyond the morial judgment that it twos is febricated
or effect made that? We can ask at least two
exciting questions. What was the processes,
what was the posts is of fabucation involved, for example,
how did it a public two is come about this bride realities underground being totally different?
How another words, did reality get betrate and packaged into facts,
that don't have much to do with the reality and you more.
And what are the material and immaterial paps is well
affect defectors involved in systeming this this tour that toos?
But more interesting behelfs is peps, is the other question.
If social science, if social velations and political alliances,
financial ressources in material things, are constructed around allie,
or it be trial or a promise that is never capit.
What is it that that's build? Is extable for home,
for home not
Do we like it? Do others like it. Is it do we
find that to be used for beautiful even or comfortable?
What ones of partnering in crime consent to seed and co-production
are being fortune? What I mean, suggesting is to
look for the social and yeconomic even that gangster
isn't ribrary of stock markets veculition is actually doing,
or to trees the political effects of suitem public assumptions,
such as that new boards are
some word cleaner or a economic breakdown will never happen,
because we can see it. OS, to oursquat happens,
when reality said any land on us,
and shake ourself perception as been human
As in the catastrophies of drowning migrass in the meditarinian.
What matters here is the fappication of drowning migrass and
the very this alusion that comes with it.
That the EU migrant call see, is a crime against reality.
Thinking more about the real work of the line,
we might also be inspired of the works around fake and piracy,
that have been coming up in the fields of urban steadies and cultural theory.
Fake up about about our use is two quickly this mist.
Moreely is cheating economically as zeft,
socially as pretention and esthetically, because it will never be
as good as genering artikel
Instead of judging fake to quickly, aber suggest,
we should look at the structure features are fake.
It's paradoxical velation to the original and the ästhetic economic
and social forms it brings about. In the same vehen
can the national of Piracy recorded as a dective things out
of the enormal or legitimate framework and of cyculation and use.
Taylor something about strategies of ressourcefulness in under ressource places from presence
to Martin or lives communities, when with the weM,
where people tried to viterally multiply the users of documents,
technology technologies
of houses
And we learn from writings about pirated infrastructures in the nighturian filmindustry, they are offen
not ecotology of the circulation of media forms, but it's pre-equisite.
What is important to me here is that in edition to point
at at the fabrikations involve in the difference fears of criminal justice and politics?
We also need to look at the realness of these betrayals.
Valitions or acts of ignorance on all sides of dispectrum.
And with realness, I mean,
the real effects for realized
and real politics
And then there's a lot of invention and improvisation, happening in acts of fabucation.
Because a takes please between the official and the everything. What actually happens,
between, what actually happens to the plan or the lower or the secret document is uncertain,
want to this given into the hands of the practitioners,
be it the cop or the hacker.
From social legal, theory and social, social legy,
we know that low level practitioners of all sorts,
never simply apply the lower,
but use and open up this critianers, spaces,
and which they combine alsods of nowledges from Bits of the low and professional knowledge,
common sense, ästhetical judgment, is ways of essembling.
And the prophet we of acting. These live moments,
I want to suggest, I interesting because they want to
say this intense, somewhere chappled religionship to uncertain team.
We're practition is have to come up with something,
they have to make a move, identally might not even
know what they risk involved, in volves.
Fablicating can mean modeling through when big visions are
ups and on crisis and opportunities are limited
At the same time, the small acts of my nuving
in the discrisional speces of inspecting judging or detaining.
Not not only point as to large ennotions of justice and
public tools, but there also involved in building them.
Now, I want to end, by pointing to another
element in the different definition of fairy kiddy.
Which is ecording to the awsford English dictionary,
to make anything that requires skill.
And I'm inchicked with the nution of skill,
because if we think that realities of crimes are changing,
and that crimes are
changing realities
What can we say about the skills,
charished and aquired in both criminal as well is in Governing,
Agencies, now it is.
Who skills are valued? And how do at this learn?
What are what the ability to organize relations connect some cut
of others and house acting and the cover interwomen with with
making of powerful, public argument?
What is catured communology,
with it's interest in crimes as resistance or subvision,
make from such heroric tratech tratech figures,
such as the
Whistleblower or even the Migrant
And if I head to pick one magic skill,
that kritical kriminality, white month, white might want to develop more.
It would be the skill of turning to reality,
even more currejustly. Of not stopping at partieking,
the normative political orders, but capturing, yeah,
reality effects, their effects in the real. So,
and which you are wonderful three days would lots of insights
and fun and fall those of you who community this,
first time to present at people.
Good like, and the real things
