Burning All Illusions / David Edwards

Public ISBD Title : Burning All Illusions : A Guide to Personal and Political Freedom Material Type: printed text Authors: David Edwards, Author Publisher: Boston [USA] : South End Press Publication Date: 1996 ISBN (or other code): 978-0-89608-531-2 Languages : English (eng) Descriptors: Activism and Community Organizing Politics Abstract: This is a book about freedom. Above all about the idea that there is often no greater obstacle to freedom than the assumption that it has already been attained. What prison, after all, could be more secure than that deemed to be "the world," where boundaries of action and thought are assumed to define not the limits of the permissible, but the limits of the possible. In the past we have been prisoners of tyrants and dictators, and consequently have needed to win our freedom in very concrete, physical terms. We now need to free ourselves not from a slave ship or a concentration camp, but from many of the illusions fostered in our democratic society.

Discipline and Punish / Michel Foucault

Public ISBD Title : Discipline and Punish : The Birth of the Prison Material Type: printed text Authors: Michel Foucault, Author Publisher: Vintage Books Publication Date: 1975 ISBN (or other code): 978-0-679-75255-4 Languages : English (eng) Descriptors: Philosophy Prisons and Criminalization Keywords: Philosophy, Prison Abstract: "Barely two hundred and fifty years ago man condemned of attempting to assassinate the King of France was drawn and quartered in a grisly spectacle that suggested an unmediated duel between the violence of the criminal and the violence of the state. This groundbreaking book by the most influential philosopher since Sartre compels us to reevaluate our assumptions about all the ensuing reforms in the penal institutions of the West. For as he examines innovations that range from the abolition of torture to the institution of forced labor and the appearance of the modern penitentiary, Michel Foucault suggests that punishment has shifted its locus from the prisoner's body to his soul--and that our very concern with rehabilitation encourages and refines criminal activity. Lucidly reasoned and deftly marshaling a vast body of research, Discipline and Punish is a genuinely revolutionary book, whose implications extend beyond the prison to the minute power relations of our society."

The History of Sexuality / Michel Foucault

Public ISBD Title : The History of Sexuality : An introduction, Volume 1 Material Type: printed text Authors: Michel Foucault, Author Publisher: Vintage Books Publication Date: 1990 ISBN (or other code): 978-0-679-72469-8 Languages : English (eng) Descriptors: Gender Theory Philosophy Queer Sex Keywords: sexuality  gender  sex  history Abstract: "In Volume 1, Foucault criticizes the "repressive hypothesis", the idea that western society suppressed sexuality from the 17th to the mid-20th century due to the rise of capitalism and bourgeois society. Foucault argues that discourse on sexuality in fact proliferated during this period, during which experts began to examine sexuality in a scientific manner, encouraging people to confess their sexual feelings and actions. According to Foucault, in the 18th and 19th centuries society took an increasing interest in sexualities that did not fit within the marital bond: the "world of perversion" that includes the sexuality of children, the mentally ill, the criminal and the homosexual, while by the 19th century, sexuality was being readily explored both through confession and scientific enquiry."
