Apprehending the criminal PDF
By:Marie-Christine Leps
Published on 1992-10 by Duke Univ Pr
In this wide-ranging analysis, Marie-Christine Leps traces the production and circulation of knowledge about the criminal in nineteenth-century discourse, and shows how the delineation of deviance served to construct cultural norms. She demonstrates how the apprehension of crime and criminals was an important factor in the establishment of such key institutions as national systems of education, a cheap daily press, and various welfare measures designed to fight the spread of criminality. Leps focuses on three discursive practices: the emergence of criminology, the development of a mass-produced press, and the proliferation of crime fiction, in both England and France. Beginning where Foucault's workDiscipline and Punishends, Leps analyzes intertextual modes of knowledge production and shows how the elaboration of hegemonic truths about the criminal is related to the exercise of power. The scope of her investigation includes scientific treatises such asCriminal Manby Cesare Lombroso andThe English Convictby Charles Goring, reports on the Jack the Ripper murders inThe TimesandLe Petit Parisien, the Sherlock Holmes stories, Stevenson'sStrange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, and novels by Zola and Bourget. This work will be indispensable to all readers interested in discourse analysis, and to scholars and students of literary and cultural studies, anthropology, criminology, nineteenth-century history, and interdisciplinary studies.
