Prison; Cultural Memory and Dark Tourism
ISBN: 9781433102790 / Angielski / Twarda / 256 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Prison: Cultural Memory and Dark Tourism discusses decommissioned Australian prisons currently or potentially functioning as tourist attractions. In particular, it addresses a fundamental question: Do the interpretations and presentations of the sites include and fairly represent the personal stories and experiences associated with those prisons? The author argues that the conventional understanding of most of Australia s historical prisons fosters a radical -othering- of inmates, and with it the exclusion, distortion and historical neglect of their narratives.
