Description

The nineteenth century was haunted by crime, by its signs, stories and the shapes of institutions designed for its regulation. That haunting persists today in a popular fear of crime that shapes political agendas, and through images presented in the media. This book analyses the legal and aesthetic discourses that combine to shape the image of the criminal, and that image's contemporary endurance. Peter Hutchings examines a variety of texts, from literature, photography, cinema and law, and draws material from a spectrum of disciplines. The book maps the evolution of the criminal spectre through the discourses of phrenology, criminology, anthropometry and psychology, and traces this spectre in the law of criminal responsibility and forensic evidentiary techniques. Emerging from these investigations is an important theoretical framework concerning formations of subjectivity that builds on Foucault, Derrida and Walter Benjamin.
