Testimony of a sociologist of imprisonment

A testimony is a selective representation of highly complex experiences. In this testimony I turn to the civilized imperial mindset also inculcated in schools and universities. I hope that this concept can help the understanding of how, even if unconsciously or against their will, teachers and schools give up independent thinking to fulfill the techno-scientific missions assigned to them by their profession. The most important question for a sociologist remains unanswered: what has forty years of professional experience taught my generation of sociology professors?

Abstract

A testimony is a selective representation of highly complex experiences. In this testimony I turn to the civilized imperial mindset also inculcated in schools and universities. I hope that this concept can help the understanding of how, even if unconsciously or against their will, teachers and schools give up independent thinking to fulfill the techno-scientific missions assigned to them by their profession. The most important question for a sociologist remains unanswered: what has forty years of professional experience taught my generation of sociology professors?
