Abstract

A substantial part of Foucault’s work is dedicated of the prison. He is seen as one of the major theorists of this institution. However, he is also a major epistemologist. In this contribution, we shall develop a Foucauldian approach to interrogate Foucault’s model of prison. In this respect, we shall address the carceral question in the context of the mobility turn. More precisely, we shall investigate the extent to which the development of a new relation to space-time and the emergence of a ‘mobilitarian ideology’, praising mobility for itself, influence the way the prison is now ruled and legitimated.
