DESCRIPTION:Research is generally deemed to end with the publication of it
 s results. What happens afterwards is implicitly viewed as the usual after
 -sales service of science. Yet the encounter with various audiences\, the 
 debates it raises and the new perspectives it opens can be regarded as an 
 object of inquiry in its own right. The lecture will be a tentative analys
 is of the public afterlife of works in the social science\, with a special
  emphasis on ethnography. It will not promote public social science but wi
 ll examine what it is\, the operations it entails\, the questions it poses
 \, the challenges and limitations it faces. It will be grounded in particu
 lar in the experience of the reception of and engagement related to recent
  works on urban policing and on the carceral condition.
