Project Description

The project examines vigilance as a practice, a discourse, and as a societal mission at a local level. Using two cities as examples, the project aims to investigate how vigilance towards the publicly visible sex work being carried out by women from the Roma ethnic minority was generated and how this attentiveness was translated into action. By taking the long period of transformation from the 1980s to 2004 into account, it is possible to analyse changes in, and the persistence of, practices of vigilance aimed at maintaining and/or (re)establishing order, public safety, and morality.
