Official Order and Ritual Disobedience in Transnistria’s Ghettos
Official Order and Ritual Disobedience in Transnistria’s Ghettos

Summary/Abstract: The study I propose approaches the world of Transnistria’s ghettos from a social perspective, my focus being on the reconstruction of the survival networks developed under the virtually exterminatory conditions of the ghettos as well as the parallel realities of official rules and inmates’ alternative social structures. The theoretical approach follows the line developed by Erwin Goffman and his conceptualization of the coercive systems as total institutions.
