Incarceration
Doyle D. Calhoun, The Suicide Archive
Colonial chess pieces? Situating ‘Opération Hmong’ in French Guiana within the wider history and legacy of the Bumidom
The Enduring Popularity of the Cabinet of Curiosities
This article considers the persistence of 'cabinet of curiosities' style museums in French Guiana, France's largest overseas département [department], within the wider context of decolonizing agendas found in mainland France and the Global North more generally. The central claim is that it is impossible to truly engage in decolonial praxis in places where colonial forms of governance still exist. It also suggests that to understand how and why th…
Incarceration and food insecurity
This article focuses on the role of food interpretation in prison museums and penal heritage sites, which has been underexplored in recent critical analyses of penal tourism and heritage. The authors argue that food is a fundamental part of the lived experience of confinement and detention and lends itself to multiple forms of interpretation and programming activities. Following an overview of existing literature on food insecurity and the differ…
Reframing convict tattoo collections
Taking the specific example of Paco: Les Mains Rouges (2014; 2017) – a two-volumed sepia graphic novel by Fabien Vehlmann and Éric Sagot – this article explores the potential of the comic format to destabilize carceral histories via the trope of the convict tattoo. The creation of convict records (including the surveillance of tattoos) leaves a rich textual and visual archive that is steeped in power inequalities and absent voices, but also creat…
Framing the Penal Colony
This edited book examines the representation of penal colonies both historically and in contemporary culture, across an array of media.
Narratives of food insecurity in the penal colony
After decades of collective forgetting, heritage initiatives have resulted in the restoration of sites linked to France’s former penal colonies in French Guiana and New Caledonia which operated in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. In both territories, museums dedicated to the history of the ‘bagne’ have been created in buildings once used as kitchens and bakeries. However, as with other forms of penal heritage, the opportunity to create mor…
From Green Hell to Grey Heritage
“Green Hell” was the nickname frequently given to France’s largest overseas penal colony in French Guiana. This essay explores the slow and difficult recognition of penal heritage in France and its former colonies via the notion of “grey” heritage adopted by Philippe Artières to identify heritage associated with imprisonment and detention. Drawing on the cross-disciplinary field of colour studies, we explore a series of different possible reading…
Saigon’s penalscape
This article explores how purpose-built museums interpret the story of colonial imprisonment in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. Prisons integral to the 100-year French colonial occupation, and the subsequent American War, have been re-purposed, destroyed, or obscured. In response, memorial museums have an important role presenting prison history to international tourists and local visitors alike. Our approach interprets artefacts relating to restraint…
Framing the Penal Colony
Geopolitics of the colonial prison island
This article takes up the specific example of Poulo Condor (the Con Dao archipelago in Vietnam) as colonial prison island in order to examine this persistence of colonial island imaginaries built around the imagined project of the prison island well into the middle of the 20th century. Such imaginaries appear to run counter to dominant political discourse of the period along with ongoing media campaigns calling for the end to penal transportation…
Toxic colonialism
Since the establishment of slave plantations in French Guiana during the 17th century, the small island of Ilet la Mère, located 11 km from Cayenne, has functioned as site of confinement, refuge, and experimentation. These roles continued during and after the creation of France’s largest penal colony across the territory (1852–1953). This article identifies different phases of Ilet la Mère’s colonial and postcolonial histories, and argues that th…
État présent
through their respective refusal of and encounter with Auschwitz, as a means of highlighting the deep-rooted suspicion amongst French and francophone scholars and heritage practitioners alike of tourism described in the anglophone world as 'dark'.
Reimagining the ruins of the penalscape
This article explores Martinican author and educator, Patrick Chamoiseau’s evocation of the carceral ruin across his writing and, in particular, his novels. The notion of a ‘carceral ruinology’ at play in Chamoiseau’s oeuvre is explored in the specific context of a ‘penalscape’ marked not only by today’s prisons, camps and detention centres but equally and increasingly by the remnants of historical forms of imprisonment and internment. The articl…
The spectacle of Discipline and Punish
This article returns to Michel Foucault's Discipline and Punish in order to consider its continued relevance for thinking about the representation of incarceration today beyond categories of 'spectacle' and 'surveillance'. In order to rethink the text in relation to contemporary scholarship on visual criminology, it will explore the visual elements of Discipline and Punish in more detail via the concepts of the 'tableau' and the 'diagram' found i…
In search of temporal loopholes
This series of reflections on the contemporary experience and consciousness of time calls for a radical rethinking to confront the present and future threat of climate-led disaster. Focusing on the pocketwatch and smartwatch, the article will consider Paul Virilio’s critique of contemporary forms of alienation and the ever-increasing disjuncture between human experience and the instruments that measure and analyze time in the service of the globa…

Pixelated Flesh
The pixel and the technique of pixelating faces belong to a politics of fear and a digital aesthetics of truth that shapes public perceptions of criminality and the threat of otherness. This article draws on Paul Virilio’s account of the pixel in The Lost Dimension to analyze its specific role and operation in relation to contemporary representations of incarceration. In particular, the article considers the figure of the incarcerated informant. …

Foucault and the history of our present
According to philosopher Michel Foucault, the 'history of the present' should constitute the starting point for any enquiry into the past and a critical ontology of ourselves. This book comprises a series of essays all centering on the question of the present, or rather, multiple presents which compose contemporary experience. The collection brings together philosophical readings of Foucault which try to rework his thought in light of our present…
Foucault/Paul
The way which society conceives of power in the twenty-first century determines how it approaches future issues. Placing the twentieth-century French philosopher Michel Foucault into critical conjunct
Michel Foucault
Given Foucault's own méfiance towards those who, during his lifetime, tried to pin him down about various facets of his work, particularly his conception of power and disdain for identity politics, any attempt to reduce the philosopher's work to a series of ‘key concepts’ must inevitably be met with suspicion. Moreover, the pressing need to add yet another tome to the already buckling bookshelf of introductory texts on Foucault seems somewhat que…
Excavating Government
This paper looks at the development of certain Foucauldian concepts and themes within the work of the Italian philosopher, Giorgio Agamben. Where Agamben is well-known for his critique of biopower in Homo Sacer, his recent work a more complex engagement with Foucault both in terms of his subject matter, governmentality and economy (oikonomia), and his critical methodology, most notably, his reaffirmation of the value of Foucault’s archaeological …
Discourses of Subversion
This article will examine the notion of subversive discourse found in both the Brazilian dance-martial art known as capoeira and the recent urban phenomenon called parkour, looking in detail at the origins and influences of the two disciplines. With reference to capoeira, I will argue that the linguistic structure which underpins the game provides the space for each capoeirista to develop his or her own creative expression or ‘personality’ within…

Negotiating Paul
Saint Paul has become fashionable again. Yet today it is the philosophers who are championing the apostle and, moreover, philosophers who at the same time declare themselves resolute atheists. Most notable among these unlikely proponents of the Pauline message are Giorgio Agamben (The Time which Remains: A Commentary on the Letter to the Romans (Stanford, Stanford University Press, 2005)), Alain Badiou (Saint Paul: The Foundation of Universalism,…
