Abstract EN:
The aim of this thesis is the study of the history of the human body in the french law since the end of the middle age to the revolution. We analysed in a first time the apparition of the body as a legal category and we try to compare this fact with the emergency of the modern state. We study this new model of the physical person in the penal and medical law and we compare this model with the population considered as a group of individuals. In a second time, we observe the transformation of the collective and individual body of the people in relationship with the transformations of the state at the end of the 17th century. We study the model of the physical person and of the population which appears during the french revolution. In the conclusion we describe the genealogy of the contemporary model of phisical person which appears at the end of the 19th century.
