MARTIN MARTINEZ, Miguel Ángel. Between Illegalities and Riots. The Foucaultian Reading of E.P. Thompson's Work. Eidos [online]. 2022, n.38, pp.184-213.  Epub Mar 31, 2023. ISSN 1692-8857.

The seventies are the most explicitly militant period in Foucault's career. A key concept in the first half of these years, and one that will prove fundamental, both in understanding the birth of prison and of crime, is that of illegalities. The purpose of this article is to trace the influence that readings of E.P. Thompson's work by Foucault had on the development of this concept of illegalisms, the silent dialogue established between the two authors around two concepts: the subsistence riot and illegalisms. As well as the analysis of the different meaning and objective that this concept is acquiring in Foucault's work.

Keywords : illegalisms; subsistence riot; delinquency; prison; moralization; working class.
