It all started with a midnight email. I was drunk, overtired, and pretty certain I was about to lose my TA position with my professor. So, what did I do? Sent an angry message on the campus email system, of course, berating him for being a sexist, chauvinist pig - except, I selected the wrong name on the department list. Suddenly, I’ve been reassigned, and my new advisor is none other than Professor Reed Baron himself. The accidental recipient of my fiery email.

Regina Martínez was no stranger to retaliation. A journalist out of Mexico’s Gulf Coast state of Veracruz, Regina's stories for the magazine Proceso laid out the corruption and abuse underlying Mexican politics.

In 2012, shortly after Proceso published an article on corruption and two Veracruz politicians, and the magazine went missing once again, she was bludgeoned to death in her bathroom. The message was clear: No journalist in Mexico was safe.

In quell'epoca buia molte volte la grande Storia, intessuta con le trame segrete di uno Stato tragicamente complice, è precipitata addosso alle persone comuni, travolgendole senza scampo o lasciandole illese per pura fortuna.

Negli ultimi decenni le nostre società sono diventate più repressive, le leggi più severe, i giudici più rigidi, e questo senza che ci sia alcun legame diretto con la criminalità. Didier Fassin si sforza di cogliere, con un'analisi genealogica ed etnografica, la posta in gioco di questo momento punitivo. Per farlo, è necessario aggiornare quello che sappiamo sulla stessa "strana pratica, e la singolare pretesa, di rinchiudere per correggere, avanzata dai codici moderni" di cui parlava Foucault.  

Gli eserciti hanno costantemente affinato tattiche ed equipaggiamenti. La storia dell'umanità è un susseguirsi di eventi bellici. Le occupazioni di vaste aree territoriali risalgono agli albori della storia dell'umanità. Inizialmente erano associate a grandi migrazioni, in tempi in cui gli eserciti erano costituiti dalla totalità della popolazione maschile atta alle armi. Da allora il concetto di guerra si è notevolmente trasformato, sebbene sia rimasto nei secoli strettamente connesso all'idea stessa di potere.
