Abstract

Based on the study of a French administrative detention center for migrants, this article aims to understand how the objects reserved to the comfort of detainees have become, in the framework of a 6 months revolt, a tool of power and resistance. They have indeed constituted at the same time a lever of control, a key element of protests and a crucial issue in its repression. Through this case, the purpose is to show how confinement can confer a decisive role to what is outside a trivial object, and how, conversely, an insignificant artefact may determine the space, the organization and the (dys)functioning of the institution.
