However, these institutions inform and participate in many of the same ideologies that the prison enforces.Captivating Subjectsis a collection of essays that fills several crucial gaps in the critical examination of the relations between Western state-sanctioned confinement, identity, nation, and literature. Editors Jason Haslam and Julia M. Wright have brought together an esteemed group of international scholars to examine nineteenth-century writings by prisoners, slaves, and other captives, tracing some of the continuities among the varieties of captivity and their crucial relationship to post-Enlightenment subjectivities.This volume is the first sustained examination of the ways in which the diverse kinds of confinement intersect with Western ideologies of subjectivity, investigating the modern nation-state's reliance on captivity as a means of consolidating notions of individual and national sovereignty. It details the specific historical and cultural practices of confinement and their relations to each other and to punishment through a range of national contexts. 606 $aImprisonment$zWestern countries$xHistory$y19th century$vSources 606 $aImprisonment$xSocial aspects$zWestern countries$vSources 606 $aPrisoners' writings$xHistory and criticism 615 0$aImprisonment$xHistory 615 0$aImprisonment$xSocial aspects 615 0$aPrisoners' writings$xHistory and criticism. 676 $a365/.918/1209034 702 $aHaslam$b Jason W$g(Jason William),$f1971- 702 $aWright$b Julia M. 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910795014303321 996 $aCaptivating subjects$93812550 997 $aUNINA
