In this collection of essays in Semiotext(e)'s Intervention series, Jackie Wang examines the contemporary incarceration techniques that have emerged since the 1990s. The essays illustrate various aspects of the carceral continuum, including the biopolitics of juvenile delinquency, predatory policing, the political economy of fees and fines, cybernetic governance, and algorithmic policing. Included in this volume is Wang's influential critique of liberal anti-racist politics, Against Innocence, as well as essays on RoboCop, techno-policing, and the aesthetic problem of making invisible forms of power legible.

Jackie Wang è una studiosa dello stato onirico, un'abolizionista delle prigioni, poetessa e performer il cui lavoro si addentra nelle profondità del trauma collettivo ed esplora la possibilità di liberazione attraverso la poesia. Attingendo a zine punk e a una raccolta di poesie sui sogni, la sua scrittura offre una fusione unica di introspezione intima e urgenza politica. La voce distintiva di Wang sfida i confini dell'esperienza umana, invitando i lettori a contemplare profonde questioni sulla libertà e sulla psiche. Il suo lavoro è una potente testimonianza del potenziale trasformativo dell'espressione artistica.

Jackie Wang's magnetic and spellbinding debut collection of poetry that attempts to speak in the language of dreams.
The early writings of renowned poet and critical theorist Jackie Wang, drawn from her early zines, indie-lit crit, and prolific early 2000s blog. Compiled as a field guide, travelogue, essay collection, and weather report, Alien Daughters Walk into the Sun traces Jackie Wang’s trajectory from hard femme to Harvard, from dumpster dives and highway bike rides to dropping out of an MFA program, becoming a National Book Award finalist, and writing her trenchant book Carceral Capitalism. Alien Daughters charts the dream-seeking misadventures of an “odd girl” from Florida who emerged from punk houses and early Tumblr to become the powerful writer she is today. Anarchic and beautifully personal, Alien Daughters is a strange intellectual autobiography that demonstrates Wang’s singular self-education: an early life lived where every day and every written word began like the Tarot’s Fool, with a leap of faith.
