Watching tragedies, contemplating hell, attending executions, or imagining prisons have generated pleasure, according to contemporary observers, in ancient Greece, in medieval Catholic Europe, in the early-modern absolutist states, and in the post-1968 Western world. The pleasure was often judged morally problematic, and raised questions about which desires were satisfied, and what the enjoyment was like. This book offers a research synthesis that ties together existing work on the pleasure of punishment. It considers how the shared joys of punishment gradually disappeared from the public view at a precise historic conjuncture, and explores whether arguments about the carnivalesque character of cruelty can provide support for the continued existence of penal pleasure. Towards the end of this book, the reader will discover, if willing to go along and follow desire to places which are full of pain and suffering, that deeply entwined with the desire for punishment, there is also the desire for social justice. An accessible and compelling read, this book will appeal to students and scholars of criminology, sociology, philosophy and all those interested in the pleasures of punishment"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Punishment $x Moral and ethical aspects. 650 0 $a Social justice. 650 0 $a Social control. 650 0 $a Power (Social sciences) 650 2 $a Social Justice 650 2 $a Social Control, Formal 650 6 $a Justice sociale. 650 6 $a Controle social. 650 6 $a Pouvoir (Sciences sociales) 650 7 $a Power (Social sciences) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01074219 650 7 $a Punishment $x Moral and ethical aspects. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01084115 650 7 $a Social control. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01122415 650 7 $a Social justice. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01122603 776 08 $i ebook version : $z 9780429589614 830 0 $a Routledge advances in criminology. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231021020950.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=77A5F742DDAE11EDB031D5162DECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
