Paradoxes of Penal State. Who and how to punish? Reflexions about the construction of punishable subjectivities from a neo-liberal perspective

Abstract

This paper propose to reflect on the construction of punishable subjectivities from a neo- liberal grid of intelligibility. If the crime is defined only as an action in which the subject reversed evaluating profit and loss which are the conditions that define subjectivity as punishable to the State? The framework of punishable subjectivities its constructed in the interaction of practical and scientific , media and prison discourses that considers the offender as responsible and victimizer of self, as a under- conditioned subject in socio- economic, political and cultural terms, but at the same time as irresponsible subjectivity itself which must be corrected.
