Abstract

ABSTRACT Between 1769 and 1789, the warden of the prison workhouse at Christianshavn wrote around 300 statements to accompany petitions made for inmates’ release. Drawing on the theories of Arlie Russell Hochschild, this article argues that the statements detail the feeling rules of the prison workhouse and provide evidence that the inmates ‘worked the system’ by performing emotional labour in accordance with said feeling rules. Thus, the article uncovers and connects practices and tactics of coercion and autonomy in the prison workhouse, examining how inmates navigated the authorities’ expectations as a tactic of escape from imprisonment and labour coercion.
如何成为完美的囚犯?在克里斯蒂安港监狱济贫院工作的制度,1769-1789
1769年至1789年间,克里斯蒂安港(Christianshavn)监狱济贫院的监狱长为要求释放囚犯的请愿书写了大约300份声明。根据Arlie Russell Hochschild的理论,本文认为这些陈述详细描述了监狱济贫院的情感规则,并提供了证据,证明囚犯通过按照所述情感规则进行情绪劳动来“运作系统”。因此,本文揭示并联系了监狱济贫院的强迫和自主的做法和策略,研究了囚犯如何驾驭当局的期望,作为一种逃离监禁和劳动强迫的策略。

期刊介绍: Scandinavian Journal of History presents articles on Scandinavian history and review essays surveying themes in recent Scandinavian historical research. It concentrates on perspectives of national historical particularities and important long-term and short-term developments. The editorial policy gives particular priority to Scandinavian topics and to efforts of placing Scandinavian developments into a larger context. Studies explicitly comparing Scandinavian processes and phenomena to those in other parts of the world are therefore regarded as particularly important. In addition to publishing articles and review essays, the journal includes short book reviews. Review essay proposals and polemical communications are welcomed.
