Le Moment Beccaria - naissance du droit penal moderne (1764-1810) (French, Paperback)

Jamais, dans aucune autre periode de l'histoire, le probleme penal n'a ete aussi debattu qu'au siecle des Lumieres. Or, l'evenement declencheur de ces debats est la publication des Delits et des peines, le petit livre de Cesare Beccaria dont la premiere edition parait a Livourne en 1764. On assiste, apres cette date et durant un demi-siecle, a une profusion impressionnante de reactions et de prolongements directement lies a cet ouvrage. A tel point que, pour designer cette periode, on a pu parler d'un 'moment Beccaria'. Les recherches rassemblees dans ce volume explorent differents foyers thematiques et geographiques (Allemagne, Angleterre, France, Italie) de cette phase inedite et fondatrice de l'histoire europeenne du droit de punir. Pourquoi cette soudaine publicite du probleme penal? Comment s'est-elle manifestee, par quels canaux, sous quelles formes theoriques et materielles? Comme le montre cet ouvrage, le droit penal moderne est ne d'un livre, mais aussi de ses interpretations: il est ne des idees de Beccaria et des debats qu'elles ont provoques. Ces deux sources se sont croisees et ne peuvent se comprendre l'une sans l'autre. --- Throughout history, criminal law was never more discussed than during the Age of Enlightenment. The debates started after the publication of a small book by Cesare Beccaria, On Crimes and Punishments, in Livorno in 1764. For fifty years from that date, reactions and additions to the book proliferated so much that this period is called by some "the Beccaria moment". The contributions in this volume explore different thematic and geographical areas (Germany, England, France, Italy) to explore that innovative and foundational moment in the European history of criminal law. Why was the criminal problem suddenly publicised? How did those interrogations manifest? Which theoretical and material forms did they take? This volume shows that modern criminal law originates in a book, and also in its interpretations - in Beccaria's ideas and the debates they started. Those two sources interacted and now cannot be understood separately.
