More method
"If I have studied 'practices' such as those of the sequesterization of the insane, or clinical medicine, or the organization of the empirical sciences, or legal punishment, it was in order to study this interplay between a 'code' that governs ways of doing things and a production of true discourses that served to found, justify, and provide reasons and principles for these ways of doing things."
Thinking about criminal anthropology: a discourse created in order to develop a code to govern the way criminals are conceptualized, identified and treated through science. A discourse created between the criminal body and its interrogator; the interrogator requires specific responses from a specific body in order to generalize a code.
