This article analyzes conflict, deviance and crime in Cantabria, a rural area of northern Spain in the 17th and 18th centuries. From an initial consideration of power and crime under the Ancien Régime and from the still young history of crime in Spain, this article goes into the explanation of the social meaning of crime, discussing Michel Foucault's theory of penal law. These pages are an itinerary through the analysis of social struggle and crime, social order and conflict and, the different uses of justice and social discipline. In conclusion only a few criminals are to be found in rural Cantabria of 1600-1800, but many social deviants, and this was due to the hybrid nature of both justice and crime. Judicial discipline was therefore not repressive. Where, then, was the invisible hand which articulated all the repressive apparatus of which Foucault writes ? Cet article propose une analyse des conflits, de la déviance et de la criminalité en Cantabrique, une région rurale du nord de l'Espagne, aux 17e et 18e siècles. À partir d'une mise en perspective du pouvoir et de la criminalité sous l'Ancien Régime, et en se fondant sur l'historiographie, encore récente, de la criminalité en Espagne, cet article entreprend d'expliquer la signification sociale du crime, en la confrontant à la théorie du droit pénal proposée par Michel Foucault. Il présente une analyse des relations entre conflit social, ordre social et criminalité, ainsi que des différents usages de la justice et de la discipline sociale. Cette étude montre qu'il y avait peu de criminels dans les campagnes de Cantabrique, entre 1600 et 1800, mais de nombreux déviants, et que ceci tenait au caractère hybride à la fois de la justice et de la criminalité. La discipline judiciaire n'était, dès lors, pas répressive. Où, dans ces conditions, était donc la main invisible, censée articuler tous les appareils répressifs, qu'évoque Foucault ? |
