Visions of Filth

Peris Fuentes Teresa

4.9/5 (33011 ratings)

Description:This book explores how notions of deviancy and social control are dramatized in the novels of the late nineteenth-century Spanish realist author Benito P(r)rez Galds. GaldsOCOs treatment of prostitutes, alcoholics, beggars and vagrants is studied within the context of the socio-cultural and medical debates circulating during the period. Drawing on FoucaultOCOs very specific conceptualisation of the idea of control through discourses, the book analyses how GaldsOCOs novels interacted with contemporary debates on poverty and deviancy OCo notably, discourses on hygiene, domesticity and philanthropy. It is proposed that GaldsOCOs view of marginal social groups was much more open-minded, shrewd and liberal than the often inflexible pronouncements made by contemporary professional voices."We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
