Description
The act of justice is not about resorting to a court or judges, but about the regulated development of a dispute. This development is what defines the juridical order, where the rule and the struggle, the rule in the struggle, come into play. In Penal Theories and Institutions, Michel Foucault delivers a series of lectures that present his approach to the question of power, one that would become the focus of his research. He begins by examining the repression of the Nu-pieds Revolt in 1639-1640, and how the apparatus of power developed by the monarchy on this occasion broke with the system of juridical and judicial institutions of the Middle Ages. Foucault's analysis is part of his broader study of "knowledge-power," based on the study of "juridico-political matrices." This book provides a unique insight into Foucault's thought on power, institutions, and the development of the juridical order.
