Police Forces: A Cultural History of an Institution

Mladek, Klaus

Pages: 1 –9

[Whether it is the plan for a “super police force” in the war against terrorism, the recent concept of community policing, or the rapid growth of both border police and various private police forces, the “police” has recently resurfaced as the crucial referent for societal fantasies of law and...

State Desire: On the Epoch of the Police

Vogl, Joseph

Hall, Sara F.

How Fat Detectives Think

Gilman, Sander

Pages: 123 –144

[If there is a moment when fat takes on a positive meaning in defining the masculine quality of the “fat man” it is at the close of the nineteenth century. It is in the body of the “fat detective” that obesity or at least corpulence begins to define and be defined by the mental processes of the...

Police, Paranoia, and Theater in Thomas Pynchon’s Vineland

Puchner, Martin

Pages: 181 –197
