This short paper puts forward a sketch of what I call the 'normative' conception of banditry. Ever since ancient philosophy, many eminent authors have connected the category of 'bandit' to a specific political and normative context. Antonio Pigliaru provided an interesting interpretation of such phenomenon, observing banditry as the result of a clash of multiple legal orders. This view, which implies that the normative and political potential of bandits lies in their belonging to a community whose values are shared, seems in later days to be challenged by a new 'undetermined' deviant type.

Abstract
This short paper puts forward a sketch of what I call the 'normative' conception of banditry. Ever since ancient philosophy, many eminent authors have connected the category of 'bandit' to a specific political and normative context. Antonio Pigliaru provided an interesting interpretation of such phenomenon, observing banditry as the result of a clash of multiple legal orders. This view, which implies that the normative and political potential of bandits lies in their belonging to a community whose values are shared, seems in later days to be challenged by a new 'undetermined' deviant type.File in questo prodotto:
