چکیده

Many juvenile offenders transported from Britain to Van Diemen’s Land in the 1830s spent timein the juvenile specific penal station, Point Puer. Here they were subjected to a reform ideology,also transported from the Mother Country, which provided the training and discipline to makethem into new colonial subjects. However, this reformatory programme was marred by the morepragmatic needs of an economically deterministic colony. One in which fifteen and sixteen-year-old youths from British cities and urban conurbation’s, with few skills and uneven experience ofwork, had no place. This article follows a specific group of boys transported to Van Diemen’sLand in the mid-1830s, some of whom were sent to Point Puer, and the others assigned tomasters, considering their experiences at the colony in the context of both reform and thebroader disciplinary regime. De nombreux délinquants juvéniles transportés de Grande-Bretagne vers la région de VanDiemen (Australie) dans les années 1830, ont passé un certain temps dans une institutionspécifique, Point Puer. Ils y étaient soumis à une idéologie réformatrice, également originaire dela mère-patrie, sur laquelle étaient fondées la formation et la discipline destinées à lestransformer en sujets des colonies. Toutefois, ce programme était entravé par les exigences pluspragmatiques de l’économie de la colonie, où n’avaient pas leur place des jeunes de 15 à 16 ansoriginaires des zones urbaines britanniques, dotés de savoir-faire limités et d’une expérience dutravail chaotique.Cet article s’attache à un groupe particulier de garçons transportés dans cette région au milieudes années 1830, dont certains séjournèrent à Point Puer et d’autres furent confiés à des maîtres,et analyse leur expérience coloniale dans le contexte à la fois du régime d’amendement et dudispositif disciplinaire plus large.
