Beyond hunger: moral motivations in the bith of riots, revolts and illegalism
Abstract
In contrast to the studies that included Foucauldian analyses of the birth of the prison in coordinates close to the Economic Analysis of Punishment, this article aims to break with this economistic reductionism. Prison and modern penalties appear in Foucauldian analyses, directly influenced by English Marxist historians, as a response to riots and illegalities that have not only an economic but also a fundamentally moral origin.
