This book investigates the ways in which Charles Dickenss mature fiction, prison novels of the 20th century, and prison films narrate the prison. Alber addresses the significance of prison metaphors in novels and films, and investigates the ideological underpinnings of prison narratives by addressing the question of whether they generate cultural understandings of the legitimacy or illegitimacy of the prison.

This book explores the aesthetic practices used by Dickens to make the space which we have come to know as the Dickensian City. It concentrates on three very precise techniques for the production of social space (counter-mapping, overlaying and troping). The chapters show the scapes and writings which influenced him and the way he transformed them, packaged them and passed them on for future use. The city is shown to be an imagined or virtual world but with a serious aim for a serious game: Dickens sets up a workshop for the simulation of real societies and cities. This urban building with is transferable to other literatures and medial forms. The book offers vital understanding of how writing and image work in particular ways to recreate and re-enchant society and the built environment. It will be of interest to scholars of literature, media, film, urban studies, politics and economics.

Die "Bausteine einer Ethik des Strafens" fussen auf der Annahme, dass die Strafe ein notwendiges und gerechtfertigtes Mittel der Reaktion auf Rechtsverletzungen ist. Die Ethik des Strafens will nicht Abstand nehmen von den zugehorigen Themen der Philosophie und Rechtsphilosophie - Rechtfertigung der Strafe, Strafgerechtigkeit, das heisst: Strafzumessung und Tatproportionalitat -, sondern sie berucksichtigt den Unterschied zwischen den Rechtfertigungstheorien und den Vollzugstheorien der Strafe derart, dass die Begrundungstheorien der Strafe in die allgemeine Ethik uberfuhrt werden konnen. Weil das Dass der Strafe nicht gleichbedeutend mit dem Wie der Strafe ist, fragt sie unter Anleitung der Prinzipien der Gerechtigkeit und Verantwortlichkeit nach den konkreten Moglichkeiten, Menschen ihre Taten im Falle des Rechtsbruches zuzuschreiben und ihnen die personliche Ubernahme der Verantwortung, die ihnen aus ihren Taten erwachst, im doppelten Sinne des Wortes zuzumuten, das heisst: ihnen individuelle Verantwortung abverlangen und zutrauen. In diesem Sinne beschaftigt sich Teil I (Systematische Aspekte) mit dem Zusammenhang von rechtfertigungs- und vollzugstheoretischen Fragen der Strafe und macht in je verschiedener Weise philosophische und rechtswissenschaftliche Kontexte einer Ethik des Strafens auf. Teil II (Aktuelle Folterdebatte) bringt in dem im Titel festgeschriebenen Bewusstsein, dass die Ethik des Strafens ein junges Forschungsfeld ist, am konkreten und bewusst zeitgenossischen Beispiel erste Annaherungen an eine ethische Vollzugstheorie der Strafe, wahrend Teil III (Literarische Perspektiven) und Teil IV (Grenzen des Strafens) danach fragen, wie literarische Texte beziehungsweise offentliche Debatten unsere Vorstellungen eines gerechten Strafvollzuges beeinflussen.
