- Abstract
Many social practices connected to poor were a reflection of widespread fear caused by uncontrollable crowd of poor. As the female figure the poor means a danger to society. Social group of the poor people was a not a homogeneous one, it was composed of different social and professional identities according to life-cycle, gender, (un)employment, physical condition of body (blind, disabled, ill). Each of them represents certain degree of contamination of society because of moral, economic, visual, emotional and other danger to society. In 18th century political theory and absolute state driven by ideas of enlightenment and rationalism developed mechanisms for control the risk of contamination by the poor people, which were more sustainable but not always effective. This article focuses on the different perception of the risk of contamination by political theory, administrative tractates, and legislation as well as everyday practices of local authorities.
