The Panopticon Versus "New South Wales" and Other Writings on Australia: The Collected Works of Jeremy Bentham

Autor Tim Causer, Philip Schofield
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 18 ian 2022
Jeremy Bentham’s writings on Australian governance and colonization.
 
Jeremy Bentham conceived the panopticon, in part, as an alternative to criminal transportation to Australia. This latest volume in The Collected Works of Jeremy Bentham series draws out these connections by collecting both Bentham’s fragmentary and extended comments on Australian governance and colonization. These writings include a fragment headed “New Wales” (1792) correspondence with William Wilberforce (1802), three letters to Lord Pelham (1802), a “Plea for the Constitution” (1802–3), and “Colonization Company Proposal” (1831)—the majority published here for the first time. Although Bentham’s most famous ideas emerged from his opposition to colonization, these writings demonstrate how the reformer became a vocal advocate for settler colonization near the end of his life.
