| Riassunto: | This article argues for a greater focus on the plural functions that forms of punishment have played in connection with labour relations within given historical contexts. To this end, it introduces the concept of “punitive pluralism”, expands the notion of labour to include all forms of labour relations (“free” and “unfree”), and discusses the impact of the simultaneous pluralization of punishment and labour on the analysis of their interconnections. The entanglements between punishment and labour relations are addressed here via a case study of Cuba in the decades between the second Anglo-Spanish treaty for the abolition of the slave trade (1835) and the end of the apprenticeship system, or patronato (1886), that followed the abolition of slavery on the island (1880). |
