| description | This contribution deals with the enunciative modalities implemented in an international and travelling exhibition entitled Prison, co-produced in Geneva (Switzerland), then in Lyon (France) and finally in Dresden (Germany). Specifically, we are interested in certain statements mobilized in the exhibition, for what they put in tension a figure of the prisoner within the social space, and a figure sculpted from clichés, from mythical and fantasized images.By focusing on a sentence written on a table (“you’re better than the things you do”), we will cross (i) a linguistic approach turned towards the discourses for the dialogical tensions that they establish between a modalized point of view and a modalizing perspective and (ii) a semiotic approach attentive to the material and symbolic arrangement of a plurality of voices in a discursive scene. We thus study how the exhibition tends to produce and activate permeabilities between the inside and the outside of the prison (questioning clichés, myths and taboos about prisoners and prison conditions) and to create resonances between the inside and the outside, the upstream and the downstream of the exhibition (provoking reflections and sensitizing the audience). Thus, we must also pay attention to the modalizations of the audiences (recipients of the exhibition and participants in a public debate) and of the institutional places themselves (prisons and museums and the ways in which they shape the perceptions and actions of the people in them).This article thus has both the epistemological and analytical aims of testing the heuristic potential of the notions of modalities and modalizations to study the transformation of social roles into discourse and experience, based on these complex semiotic objects that constitute the interactions between discourses and the social interactions in the museum. |
