Abstract
Analysing how houseless people in Germany, who suffer social harm and depression, experience time in social housing, on the streets and in prison I demonstrate that the shift from a Foucauldian disciplinary society to a Deleuzian society of control is neither historically nor experientially absolute. Rather, they work together and bleed into each other in particular ways. Contemporary societies of control have produced confining mechanisms of responsibilization which lead houseless people with depression to feel blamed for not fitting the social order and are forced to turn to disciplinary, punitive institutions to obtain the care they need. In the process, their experience of time changes. Understanding contemporary carcerality requires moving beyond the Foucauldian/Deleuzian intersection and studying experiences of freedom/confinement as shaped by social position.
