Resumo: This paper is a reflection on alternatives to imprisonment and, more generally, on the complex relationships betweenthe concepts of punishment and innovation. For this purpose, we will discuss a concrete example taken from the brazilian criminal legislation, a new drug law disposition (2006), in order to emphasize the theoretical interest as well as the ethical stakes which the concept of penal innovation can underscore. This legislation introduces a hyper-improbable modification of the concept of punishment and it will therefore enable us to develop our arguments along seven points: 1) To describe the legislative modification which will serve as the backdrop to our discussion; 2) To introduce the conceptual tools needed to describe this legislative modification; 3) To enunciate the status that the auto-referential systems theory gives to law making; 4) To direct the reader’s attention toward two historically deviant ways to conceptualize punishment; 5) To introduce some historical markers of the dominantconcept of punishment (with respect to criminal justice); 6) To illustrate the re-stabilization and the generalizationof the dominant or “normal” concept of punishment and, finally, 7) To come back, in conclusion, on the centralconcepts addressed in our discussion

Nesse sentido, discutiremos um exemplo concreto extraído da legislação criminal brasileira – um dispositivo da nova Lei de Drogas (2006) – com a finalidade de enfatizar tanto o interesse teórico quanto as questões éticas que o conceito de inovação penal pode suscitar. Introduzindo uma modificação extremamente improvável relativa às penas, essa lei brasileira nos possibilitará desenvolver aqui nossa argumentação em sete etapas: 1) Descrever a modificação legislativa que servirá como pano de fundo para nossos propósitos; 2) Apresentar as ferramentas conceituais necessárias à descrição que pretendemos fazer dessa modificação legislativa; 3) Invocar o status que a teoria dos sistemas autorreferenciais outorga à produção legislativa; 4) Chamar a atenção para duas maneiras historicamente marginais de conceitualizar a punição; 5) Indicar alguns marcos históricos sobre o conceito dominante ou “normal” de pena; e finalmente 7) Voltar, a título de conclusão, aos conceitos centrais tratados em nossa discussão.Escola de Direito de São Paulo da Fundação Getulio Vargas2011-01-01info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.fgv.br/revdireitogv/article/view/24082Revista Direito GV; Vol. 7 No. 1 (2011): Jan.-June (13); 299-329Revista Direito GV; Vol. 7 Núm. 1 (2011): jan.-jun.(13); 299-329Revista Direito GV; v. 7 n. 1 (2011): jan.-jun.(13); 299-3292317-6172reponame:Revista Direito GVinstname:Fundação Getulio Vargas (FGV)instacron:FGVporhttps://periodicos.fgv.br/revdireitogv/article/view/24082/22855Pires, Alvaro P.Cauchie, Jean-Françoisinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess2019-11-06T14:51:58Zoai:ojs.periodicos.fgv.br:article/24082Revistahttps://direitosp.fgv.br/publicacoes/revista/revista-direito-gvPRIhttps://old.scielo.br/oai/scielo-oai.php||revistadireitogv@fgv.br|| catarina.barbieri@fgv.br2317-61721808-2432opendoar:2019-11-06T14:51:58Revista Direito GV - Fundação Getulio Vargas (FGV)false
