Abstract (may include machine translation)

This chapter explores the tension caused by the attempts towards the absorption of abolitionist politics into the academy. Focusing on art produced in immigration detention facilities and prisons in the United Kingdom and Australia Carroll and Liebeskind critique various forms of cultural production that ultimately uphold the frame work of the carceral imagination.
