Abstract:

AbstractThe political prisoner is a figure taken for granted in historical discourse, with the term being used broadly to describe any individual held in captivity for oppositional activities. This article argues for understanding the political prisoner, for whom prison becomes a vehicle of politics, as the product of modern states and political movements. The earlier practices of the “imprisoned political,” for whom prison was primarily an obstacle to politics, gave way to prisoners who used the category creatively against the regimes that imprisoned them. Using the cases of Polish socialists in the Russian Empire, Fenians in Ireland, suffragettes in Britain, andsatyagrahiin British South Africa, this article explains how both regimes and their prisoners developed common practices and discourses around political incarceration in the years 1865–1910.

Abstract:

Exile, World, and Literary Work. An Anthropological Reading of Three Swedish Narratives from Siberia This article is an exploration of exile, world, and literary work. I investigate these themes through a reading of early twentieth century narratives of Siberian exile. Since the publication of Fyodor Dostoevsky’s Notes from a Dead House (1861–62), stories of banishment and prison life in Siberia have evolved into a prominent subgenre of Russian literature. My perspective is different. Rather than relating the texts in focus to Russian literature, I approach them instead as parts of an extensive world literature on travel and exile. More specifically, I focus on three texts written in Swedish: Ivar Hasselblatt, Förvisad till Sibirien (1917; ”Banished to Siberia”), an autobiography about arrest, deportation, and exile; Elsa Brändström, Bland krigsfångar i Ryssland och Sibirien 1914–1920 (1921; ”Among Prisoners of War in Russia and Siberia 1914–1920”), an eye witness account from Siberian prison camps during the first world war; and Ester Blenda Nordström, Byn i vulkanens skugga (1930; ”The Village in the Shadow of the Volcano”), a personal ethnography about village life in Kamchatka. In my reading of these narratives, I explore literary representations of exile in relation to the anthropological problem ”of how to translate knowing into telling,” as Hayden White puts it. This is also the point where world literature and anthropology converge: through worldmaking literary work.

Resumo: A presente tese analisa a construção da primeira prisão com trabalho do império brasileiro: a Casa de Correção do Rio de Janeiro. Tentamos fornecer um outro olhar para o tema das prisões no Brasil, fazendo mais uma história institucional e dos trabalhadores que ergueram o primeiro complexo prisional do país, e menos uma análise das questões que envolveram os debates em torno do clássico Vigiar e Punir de Michael Foucault. O filósofo francês examinou as relações entre os modos de exercício do poder, a constituição dos saberes e o estabelecimento da verdade, apontando a passagem da punição do corpo para a alma dos condenados em fins do século XVIII e início do XIX na Europa. Embora o Brasil abrigasse inúmeros estudiosos das novas formas de punir disponíveis no velho continente naquele momento, a vigência da escravidão alterou profundamente a implantação desse novo tipo de punição. Aqui, o suplício e a prisão com trabalho conviveram lado a lado até o final do século XIX. Como a idéia era escrever a história da primeira prisão com trabalho do Brasil, iniciamos a abordagem no período regencial, quando teve início o processo de construção da nova penitenciária a partir da mobilização da Sociedade Defensora da Liberdade e Independência Nacional. Nesse momento surge também uma nova categoria jurídica no país, os africanos livres. Estes últimos, somados aos escravos, sentenciados, homens livres e libertos foram os grandes responsáveis pela construção da primeira Casa de Correção do Brasil
Abstract: This dissertation analyses the construction of the first penitentiary made by the Brazilian Empire: The House of Correction of Rio de Janeiro. In doing so, I seek to offer a new perspective on the question of prisons in Brazil. Thus this text deals more with the history of the institutions and workers that built the first penitentiary of the country, and less with the issues that involved the debates on the classic "Surveiller et punir" written by Michael Foucault. The French Philosopher has analysed the relations between the way public institutions operate and the constitution of a new knowledge regarding discipline and punishment in 18th- and 19th- century Europe. In Brazil, however, the existence of slavery created problems for the implementation of a concept of punishment that emphasized the reformation of the individual instead of physical retaliation on his/her body. My approach in this dissertation is to tell a history of the construction and establishment of the House of Correction in Rio as a chapter in the social of history of labor in the country. Thus I start out with the initial debates about the subject in the 1830s and move on to deal with the experience of workers -africanos livres (Africans freed due to the illegal slave trade), slaves, free workers, prisoners- during the construction of the penitentiary and the first years after its opening

Abstract:

This thesis examines the role that chattel slavery played in shaping a system of for-profit incarcerations in Louisiana between 1803 and 1862. In doing so, it challenges the conventional historical narrative of American penal development, which identifies the origins of the prison industrial complex in the decades following the abolition of slavery in the United States. Scholars have already contended that the passage of the Thirteenth Amendment in 1865, which abolished slavery and involuntary servitude ‘except as a punishment for crime’, facilitated the constitutional reinstitution of enslavement in American corrections systems. This thesis reveals that this relationship between slavery and imprisonment extends back further. It argues that, in pre-Civil War Louisiana, chattel slavery and the prison were mutually reinforcing institutions, and each, being market-oriented, shaped the other. In its exploration of this relationship, this thesis contributes to the history of penal reform and imprisonment, and to the history of American slavery. It also joins the history of the state with that of early American capitalism. To tell this story, this thesis incorporates new interpretations of sources used in previous studies (for example, Supreme Court records, census returns, and runaway slave advertisements), with insights gleaned from new types of primary material, such as jailers’ log books, receipts, and financial accounting records. This thesis begins in the decades following the U.S. Purchase of 1803, as Louisiana transitioned from a European colony to an American state. During this time, penal reforms gradually led to the replacement of an array of public corporal punishments with a system of mass incarceration that would ultimately fuse Enlightenment-inspired ideals with the moneymaking imperatives of the market revolution. Opening in 1835, a new state penitentiary complex in Baton Rouge, together with an expansive network of rural parish prisons, police jails, and urban workhouses, was deployed by local law enforcement agencies and slaveholders for the control and discipline of enslaved men, women, and children. But even while the state’s penal system served both public justice and private slaveholder rule, incarcerations’ costs mounted. And in the aftermath of a transatlantic panic in 1837, as the Lower Mississippi Valley plunged into financial depression, a demand for institutional economy steered Louisiana’s prisons into the free market. Beset by market shifts and fluctuations in labour and commodity prices, jailers and state authorities saw an economic solution to incarcerations’ costs in the uniquely fungible condition of enslaved prisoners. They capitalised on this in grim ways. Keepers of crowded, filthy prisons collected fees for confining, punishing, and selling African American inmates. Many also pressed inmates into labour in prison factories and state-sponsored chain gangs. In the latter, enslaved prisoners built the infrastructure that supported Louisiana’s commercial expansion. But as the prison emerged as an important centre of economic production, it was also transformed into a site of struggle, as African American inmates resisted the double burden of enslavement and incarceration.

Abstract:

Sherman’s invasion of South Carolina forced the evacuation of 7,672 prisoners from Camp Asylum and Florence Prison to North Carolina in February, 1865. More than 1,600 escaped or had to be abandoned along the route to Wilmington. The Confederacy’s attempt to deliver the remaining prisoners for exchange at Wilmington during the Federal campaign against the city interfered with and disrupted both Confederate and Union operations on the battlefield and had consequences for Sherman’s invasion of North Carolina. The story of prisoner movement cannot be separated from the narrative of the military campaigns that concluded the war in the Carolinas.

Abstract:

The Citadel, the Military College of South Carolina (founded 1842), was modeled on West Point and created to form citizen-soldiers prepared to serve South Carolina. Citadel cadets were involved in various aspects of the Civil War. Cadets fired shots on the Star of the West, an American steamer headed to Fort Sumter, on January 9, 1861, preventing it from resupplying Union troops. Though the Citadel never closed during the war, many cadets enlisted in the war effort. While the war raged, Citadel cadet duties included providing basic training to conscripted soldiers and recruits (cadets were not exempt from conscription themselves), not just in Charleston but in the field as well; guarding and transferring prisoners; and other duties. While classes continued, the war effort took precedence over academics. In February 1865, Union troops occupied Charleston and were garrisoned in The Citadel until 1879.

Abstract:

Retaliation, the method provided by the customs of war to negotiate the conduct of civilized war, was in the spotlight from 1861-1865. Properly conducting the retaliation ritual preserved honor before a watching civilized world and demonstrated a commitment to a set of rules that guaranteed one’s place in civilization. Confederates used retaliation to express their outrage when the Union armed Black men, bombarded residential areas of cities, and unleashed pillagers who entered the homes of civilized women. Officers of the United States used retaliation to protect the freeborn Black men who wore the Federal uniform and the Union prisoners mistreated by their Confederate captors. The rhetoric of civilization and savagery continued to shape political and social debates during the period of Reconstruction. Americans experienced the Civil War as a crisis of civilization. Eventually retaliation rituals faded away as the laws of war were formalized and codified through international treaties.

Abstract:

Prisoner exchange is as old as warfare itself. Along with ransom, it was one of the few hopes for prisoners of war until the advent of modern international law. By the beginning of the 17th century, prisoner exchange had become a recognized institute of rules and customs of war, with European states agreeing on exchange arrangements (so-called “cartels”) whenever they fought. The prime motive behind the exchange was the need to get one’s own trained soldiers back as soon as possible, but also to minimize the cost of keeping enemy prisoners. Only full-fledged “civilized” nations could form a cartel; native tribes and rebels were not seen as subjects of law. It is therefore not surprising that the British did their utmost to avoid entering a general cartel during the Revolutionary War (1775–83), for by doing so they would recognize the legitimacy of the nascent United States and their Continental Army. Approximately ninety years later, the Federal government in Washington faced the same problem and kept refusing an all-encompassing cartel with the Southern “rebels” for over a year after the beginning of hostilities in April of 1861. The deal was eventually reached in July of 1862 and would be in place until May of 1863. Although the official text read that the Union representatives signed the agreement with the people who had been “commissioned by the authorities they respectively represent,” the signing was a ...
