Ushuaia's radial panopticon operated as an experimental hybrid penal colony and penitentiary from 1902 to 1947, designed to revolutionize modern prisons globally. A Carceral Ecology offers the first comprehensive study of this notorious prison and its afterlife, documenting how the Patagonian frontier and timber economy became central to ideas about labor, rehabilitation, and resource management. Mining the records of penologists, naturalists, and inmates, Ryan C. Edwards shows how discipline was tied to forest management, but also how inmates gained situated geographical knowledge and reframed debates on the regeneration of the land and the self. Bringing a new imperative to global prison studies, Edwards asks us to rethink the role of the environment in carceral practices as well as the impact of incarceration on the natural world.    \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eContents\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e List of Illustrations\u003cbr\u003e Acknowledgments\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Introduction: Rethinking Prisons and Patagonia\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e 1 • Constructing an Open-Door Penitentiary\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e 2 • Forestry in Fireland\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e 3 • “I Too Am Ushuaia”\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e 4 • The Martyr in Argentine Siberia\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e 5 • The Lettered Archipelago\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e 6 • Developing an Argentine Prisonscape\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Epilogue: Curating the End of the World\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Notes\u003cbr\u003e Bibliography\u003cbr\u003e Index\u003cbr\u003e  ","brand":"University of California Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49402951369047,"sku":"9780520381810","price":64.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9780520381810.jpg?v=1730481946","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/a-carceral-ecology-ushuaia-and-the-history-of-landscape-and-punishment-in-argentina-9780520381810","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
