Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2015 im Fachbereich Amerikanistik - Sonstiges, Note: 1,3, Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin (Institut für Anglistik und Amerikanistik), Veranstaltung: SE - Teaching American Popular Culture, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: In the movie \"Caged\", imprisonment is strongly characterized by corporal punishment, surveillance and (bodily) subjection.
