3 The Singer’s Report: Text and Critique in Coiba, 1920–1935

Abstract
The voices that reported on the penal colony of Coiba, criticized its functioning, and attempted to reform it are examined, and understood in the context of the critiques of the Liberal Party’s project in the 1920s and 30s. As the criticisms are analyzed, a larger theoretical debate is presented, which seeks to understand what a text would look like that does not reinforce the knowledge-power field it critiques. To answer this question, the chapter looks at how subjects engage with a text, and how it affects their inner beings. It suggests that texts which construct an alternative reality are effective in critiquing present-day reality; and that in part, they are convincing because they allow the reader an alternative social space in which to temporarily be a different subject. “Playful texts” can be useful for the task of critique precisely because they offer a temporary leap out of the constraints of the present.
