I have two new articles out now, each in its own way concerned with state violence.
The first is a long essay about Oscar Wilde and prison, describing his experiences in prison, his attitudes about crime and punishment, and his political efforts after his release.
The essay is titled “A Criminal with a Noble Face”: Oscar Wilde’s Encounters with the Victorian Gaol.
I wrote it with support from the Institute for Anarchist Studies, and you can see it at their website: http://www.anarchiststudies.org/node/335
The other piece is a review of Judith Butler’s latest book, Frames of War.
It’s in the December issue of In These Times, and on the web at: http://www.inthesetimes.com/article/5197/good_grief
