Punishment between enduring critical issues and new challenges

This Forum seeks to explore, from an interdisciplinary perspective, key issues related to punishment, with a particular focus on the relationship between punishment and its narration – understood in a broad sense that encompasses multiple forms, including fictional narratives, biographical accounts, and worldviews conceived as theoretical frameworks shaping our practices of life. This approach allows for the identification, on the one hand, of the patterns of thought that have contributed to the normalization of certain entrenched critical aspects of punitive practices, and, on the other, of more recent conceptual frameworks that prompt philosophical and legal reflection on punishment to confront emerging challenges.
