Frustrating Complicity in Breyten Breytenbach's The True Confessions of an Albino Terrorist -- Closing Statements / Opening Arguments -- Notes -- Works Cited -- IndexFitting Sentences is an analysis of writings by prisoners from the nineteenth and twentieth centuries in North America, South Africa, and Europe. Jason Haslam examines the ways in which these writers reconfigure subjectivity and its relation to social power structures, especially the prison structure itself, while also detailing the relationship between prison and slave narratives. Specifically, Haslam reads texts by Henry David Thoreau, Harriet Jacobs, Oscar Wilde, Martin Luther King, Jr., Constance Lytton, and Breyten Breytenbach to find the commonalities and divergences in their stories.While the relationship between prison and subjectivity has been mapped by Michel Foucault and defined as "a strategic distribution of elements" that act "to exercise a power of normalization", Haslam demonstrates some of the complex connections and dissonances between these elements and the resistances to them. Each work shows how carceral practices can be used to attack a variety of identifications, be they sexual, racial, economic, or any of a variety of social categories. By analysing the works of specific prison writers but not being limited to a single locale or narrow time span, Fitting Sentences offers a significant historical and global overview of a unique genre in literature.Prisoners' writingsHistory and criticismIdentity (Psychology)ImprisonmentHistory19th centurySourcesImprisonmentHistory20th centurySourcesElectronic books.Prisoners' writingsHistory and criticism.Identity (Psychology)ImprisonmentHistoryImprisonmentHistory828/.08Haslam Jason W(Jason William),1971-1055624MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910455497203321Fitting sentences2489185UNINA01538nam0-2200481---450 99000980039040332120260113123648.0000980039FED01000980039(Aleph)000980039FED0100098003920131209d1961----km-y0itay50------bafreFRy-------001yyEpistémologie mathématique et psychologieessai sur les relations entre la logique formelle et la pensée réellepar Evert W.
