In the post-Vietnam era, the prison population has increased tenfold and the death penalty has enjoyed a renaissance. Cruel and Unusual offers an exploration of the history of punishment as mediated in American culture. Grounding his analysis in Marxist theory, psychoanalysis and Foucault's influential work on discipline, Brian Jarvis examines a range of cultural texts, from seventeenth century execution sermons to twenty-first century prison films, to uncover the politics, economics and erotics of punishment.     This wide-ranging and interdisciplinary survey constructs a genealogy of cruelty through close reading of novels by Hawthorne and Melville, fictional accounts of the Rosenberg execution by Coover and Doctorow, slave narratives and prison writings by African Americans and the critically neglected genre of American prison films.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51248986325265,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51248987767057,"sku":"NIN9780745315386","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52659241255185,"sku":"NLS9780745315386","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0745315380.jpg?v=1772102106"},{"product_id":"ramon-the-tap-dancing-goat-book-brian-jarvis-9780578396682","title":"Ramón the Tap Dancing Goat","description":"\u003cem\u003eRam n the Tap Dancing Goat\u003c\/em\u003e is the first enchanting tale from Milgarden World, a whimsical land rooted in kindness, creativity, and connection.Ram n loves to tap dance -- especially under the stars when the world is quiet and the moon is high.
