Prisonisation of the city as manifestation of hybrid culture (Siberian case)

Abstract

M. Foucault's model seemed relevant so far to consider prisonisation. According to Foucault, the criminal culture is marginalized, ousted as far as possible into the outer colony. Creation of the life of the Siberian cities happened in a different mode, not being able to reject the criminal culture, society went the way of its processing, connection with the official culture. The neighbourhood of official and criminal culture gave rise to a special discourse that can be considered in the optics of the hybrid culture of H. Bhabha. The methodology developed in the frames of the postcolonial approach open opportunities for analyzing the modern social and cultural situation in Siberian cities.
