The object of this article is to reclaim the analyses outlined by Foucault on the social extension of the theoretical model of the competitive liberal market. These analyses are based on the evolution of the judicial, moral, and psychological categorization of responsibility. This categorization depends on two kinds of processes: the transformations of the concept of penal responsibility since the early 19th century, notably under the influence of psychiatric expertise, and the infinite assignation of responsibility to subjects in regard to themselves, using the tools of neoliberal government. The author feels able to isolate from this analysis a chiastic structure, situated at the heart of normative regimes belonging to the policies of contemporary criminality.
