"I will hang up the keys in less than a year I think," says the 35-year-old, who missed out on a licence as he did not have the approved tracking equipment installed on his boat to show he fished in British waters before 2016. Like Fontaine, he is counting on the two countries to come to a solution soon in order to continue to working. In the port of Boulogne-sur-Mer, fisherman Gaetan Delsart is also getting ready to watch his catch swim beyond his reach over the next months. "(Now) we are all fishing in the same zone and it is getting less because we are going for the same resource – at some point we won't get anything," he said. This year, he saw his profits drop by 60% compared to previous years. These talks represent a last chance for Fontaine, who says that it is not worth continuing in the profession without a licence to work in British waters. Thirty five licences have been granted to fishing boats in the Hauts-de-France region of northern France and Fontaine's boat, the Sainte Catherine Labouré, is one of 45 boats that is still waiting, according to a French tally. "If we start a naval war, it won't end." Tensions escalated last week after a British boat was held in the port of Le Havre and France said it would put in place increased checks on trucks and produce coming from Britain and that British trawlers would be barred from docking in French ports from midnight on Monday.īritain, accused by France of not honouring a post-Brexit deal on access to British fishing grounds, has now been given until Thursday to come up with a solution. it is better to stay friendly and to find a compromise," the 45-year-old told Reuters from the port of Calais on Tuesday afternoon after a day fishing just 30 minutes from the coast to make sure he did not stray into British waters. "The English are stubborn, they won't let go.

It uses this case study to uncover the springs of “lemming effects,” “conceptual speculative bubbles” and “turnkey problematics” in social science. It draws out the implications of strange career of this academic-journalistic-policy myth for the social epistemology of dispossessed and dishonored categories. It charts the rise, metamorphoses, and fall of the racialized folk devil of the “underclass” in the long shadow of the ghetto riots of the 1960s. The Invention of the “Underclass”: A Study in the Politics of Knowledge (forthcoming in February 2022) is an exercise in epistemic reflexivity in the mold of Bachelard, Canguilhem, and Bourdieu. A companion book of historical photo-ethnography is in the works and will come out in Fall of 2022 under the title Journey in the Land of Pugs. It explores “the making of” the study and explicates how I deployed Bourdieu’s signal concept of habitus as both topic and tool of inquiry on the way to formulating the tenets of “carnal sociology.” The postface retraces the trials and tribulations of my gym mates in and out of the ring over the past thirty years and probes what they reveal about the economics of blood, masculinity, love, and the craft of sociology itself. My latest publication is the expanded anniversary of Body and Soul: Notebooks of an Apprentice Boxer (out in October 2021, with 140 pages of new text). You will find on this site guides to my work and books, a selection of articles with PDFs roughly organized by theme a sample of public lectures, debates, interviews and interventions in public discussion information on the students I have supervised, the courses I teach, and musings on the activities of the Ethnographic Café. I am a sociologist who tries to wed epistemology, ethnography, social theory, and comparison to capture the carnality of social existence the structure and experience of urban marginality the making of the penal state and the rise of neoliberalism the specificity of ethnoracial domination and the predicament of the precariat.
