Summary:
From the rule of "an eye for an eye" in the Code of Hammurabi and the Old Testament to the rise of the reforming "penitentiary" in the nineteenth century, from Kant's notion of the right of retaliation to historical-philosophical explorations by Michel Foucault and John Rawls, the question of punishment has long been central to religious, political and philosophical discourse.

Smith on punishment and sacrifice; Johan Lindqvist on music and torture; and a multi-generational conversation about corporal punishment in the home.

Summary:
"The paper sculpture book" is published on the occasion of the traveling exhibition "The paper sculpture show", organized by Cabinet magazine, Independant Curators International (ICI), and SculptureCenter, and curated by ICI.
