Abstract
IN THE PENAL REGIME of the classical age we can find, mixed together, four major forms of punitive tactics—four forms with different historical origins and each of which has played, in different societies and periods, if not an exclusive, then at least a privileged role.
Published in the Annuaire du Collège de France, 73e année, Histoire des systèmes de pensée, année 1972–1973, 1980, pp. 255–267, and in Dits et Ecrits, 1954–1988, ed. D. Defert and F. Ewald, with the collaboration of J. Lagrange (Paris: Gallimard, 1994) vol. 2, no. 131, pp. 456–470; “Quarto” ed., vol. 1, pp. 1324–1338. An earlier translation of this summary by Robert Hurley appears with the title “The Punitive Society” in M. Foucault, The Essential Works of Michel Foucault, 1954–1984, Vol. 1: Ethics: subjectivity and truth, ed. Paul Rabinow, trans. Robert Hurley and others (New York: New Press, 1997), pp. 23–37.
