| description | This paper analyses the relationship between literature and power in two works of Cubanprison literature (the Reinaldo Arenas autobiography Antes que anochezca and the Carlos AlbertoMontaner novel Perromundo) taking into account the research of Michel Foucault (Surveiller et punir)and his concept of “political body”, “docile body” and “panopticon”. The prisoner is subjected to apower structure while he himself establishes power relationships with other prisoners. Therefore theprison space turns into a power space with numerous signifiers and significances. |
