Nel giugno del 1835 un giovane contadino normanno di nome Pierre Rivière sgozza la propria sorella, il proprio fratello e la propria madre. Sosterrà dopo l'efferato delitto di aver dovuto “liberare” il padre dalle angherie della moglie. Michel Foucault nel corso di un ciclo di lezioni nel 1973, si dedica insieme agli allievi alla ricostruzione storica del processo, con metodo retrospettivo e morfogenetico, analizzando testimonianze e fatti.
