Abstract
傅柯(Foucault)探討權力的演進如何透過規訓空間實現。監獄裡的受刑人背景複雜多樣,監獄牆內的社會空間,儼然是另一座城市社會運作的縮影。將監獄作為一項空間課題時,藉由地理學視野討論監獄內部空間運作與權力互動的關係。當前監獄地理(carceral geography)在國內地理學術界討論較為缺乏,國外人文地理學者,將監獄課題從分布、選址的議題,轉向關注監獄空間與受刑人口對於政治、經濟與社會活動的影響。本研究以六位法務部矯正署嘉義監獄在監收容人為訪談對象,採用質性半結構訪談法,訪談內容大致分為:囚犯的個人背景、監獄的第一印象、監獄的課程、受刑人的日常活動、監獄內對水的控制、同學之間互動交流情形,以及工廠的作息等。重新審視 Foucault 對於監獄規訓空間的運作方式;試圖操作 Gill 所提出「監獄迴路」監獄地理學的研究新課題;最後回應列斐伏爾(Lefebvre)所提的空間三元辯證關係,嘗試透過監獄空間與受刑人的日常活動進行展演,綜合上述研究結果,回應本研究之核心發問,監獄對於受刑者而言是「地方」,一個情感之所繫之空間。
Foucault explores how the evolution of power can be achieved through the discipline space. The backgrounds of the inmates in the prison are complex and diverse, and the social space inside the prison wall seems to be a microcosm of the social operation of another city. When taking prison as a spatial subject, wediscuss the relationship between the internal space operation and power interaction of prison from the perspective of geography. At present, studies oncarceral geography are relatively limited among domestic geography academic circles. Internationally, the field of humanistic geography has significantly deepened andextended the spatial analysis of prisons and prisonpopulations, moving from distributive and locationalconcernsto also thinking about prisons as complexsites of multiple political, economic, and socialactivities, meanings, and affectionsIn this study, six inmates of the Chiayi Prison of the Corrections Department of the Ministry of Justice were interviewed, using a qualitative and semi-structured interview method. The interview content was roughly divided into: the prisoner's personal background, the first impressions of the prison, the prison's curriculum, the inmate's daily activities, the control of water in the prison, interaction and communication with each other student, and the type ofwork at the prison'sfactory. Re-examining Foucault's operation of prison discipline space; we aim tooperationalize the new carceral geography research topic of "Carceral circuit" proposed by Gill; andfinally, we respond to Henri Lefebvre's conceptual triad in theproduction of space, how to perform through the prison space and the daily activities of the inmates.
