Elective Affinities

  • Deleuze: Prisons belong to the Age of Discipline (after Sovereignty and Before Control)
  • Today these elective affinities are withering away. Look at the dissolution of other total institutions.
  • Access Society, Identification, surveillance, case work: look at FIFA


Two Ways of Attacking the Prison

Directly

  • De-legitimizing deprivation of liberty (confinement in penal institutions) as criminal punishment. Analogy to attacking violations of the human body (amputations, executions etc.) as a punishment.


Indirectly

  • Drying out:
    • taking specific groups of people out of prison by principle (young offenders, old offenders, pregnant women, psychiatric cases)
    • taking out specific crimes by de-criminalization (drugs, ...)


Tendencies and Counter-Tendencies
