Using a feminist approach to reach beyond tropes of "bad girls" and simplistic inside vs. outside dynamics, it examines how cultural products can perpetuate or disrupt hegemonic understandings of the world of prisons. Focusing primarily on the UK and using examples from pop cultures, the book identifies how and why prison functions as a fixed field and postulates new ways of viewing performances in and of prison that trouble the institution. A new contribution to the fields of feminist cultural criticism and prison studies, Aylwyn Walsh explores how the development of a theory of resistance and desire is central to the understanding of women's incarceration. It problematizes the prevalence of purely literary analysis or case studies that proffer particular models of arts practice as transformative of offending behavior. 650 0 $a Prison theater. 650 0 $a Prison theater $z Great Britain. 650 0 $a Female offenders. 650 0 $a Female offenders $z Great Britain. 650 0 $a Imprisonment. 650 0 $a Imprisonment $z Great Britain. 650 7 $a Female offenders. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00922629 650 7 $a Imprisonment. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00968277 650 7 $a Prison theater. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01077092 651 7 $a Great Britain. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204623 650 7 $a Crime. $2 ukslc 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20210721015231.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=EBAD2266C7F211EAB1F2873797128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
