Di cosa parla
- Imaginary prisons by Giovanni Battista Piranesi depict enormous subterranean spaces with mysterious, unclear functions and horrific machines, blending archaeological and mental landscapes.
- Piranesi's engravings, created in the 18th century, reflect the changing perspective on crime and punishment during the Enlightenment, influenced by Cesare Beccaria's "On Crime and Punishment."
- Michael Foucault argues that the shift from torture to imprisonment was not due to enlightenment but a change in how social power expressed itself, highlighting the transition from aristocracy to bourgeois control.
- Aldous Huxley sees Piranesi’s prisons as sources of inspiration for contemporary interpretations and critiques old-fashioned, chaotic prisons like Newgate, designed by George Dance after the Enlightenment's shift in disciplinary practices.
