Abstract
This paper analyzes two micro-case studies to expand our understanding of communication techniques in criminal practices. In the first instance the torture of a suspected drug thief by two street kid research participants is investigated as both an instrumental trial by ordeal and a communication strategy in a media poor community. In the second case study, excerpts from occupational folklore and lifestory interviews are presented to demonstrate the complex ways in which silence is used and resisted in the stories of illegal marijuana growers in a small village in British Columbia.
Résumé
Cet article analyse deux micro-études de cas qui permettent d’élargir notre compréhension des techniques de communication au sein les pratiques criminelles. Dans le premier cas, la torture d’un suspect pour vol de drogue par deux participants à une recherche sur les jeunes de la rue est étudiée à la fois comme un procès instrumental par l’épreuve et une stratégie de communication dans une communauté pauvre en médias. Dans la deuxième étude de cas, des extraits de folklore professionnel et d’entrevues sur le mode de vie sont présentés pour démontrer les façons complexes dont le silence est utilisé et résisté dans les histoires de producteurs de marijuana illégaux dans un petit village de la Colombie-Britannique.
