Social control - relates to previous lectures
Institutions - have a physicsl presance (e.g army, prisions) or places with organized presents (e.g familys)
Michel Fourcault (1926-1984)
- Madness & civilisation
- Discipline & punish. (The birth of a prison)
Middle ages, madmen where part of society (they where accepted)
- THE GREAT CONFINENT (late 1600s)
- 'Houses of correction' to curb unemployment and idleness
Then they would realise that all these people together wouldnt work sothey corrected it by making hostpitals and prisons and asylums to seperate the diffrent types of people so they wouldnt effect each other!
Asylum - instead of physical violance more suttle techniques where used (e.g treated like children) they where given rewards if the behaved well they would be rewarded if they behaved bad they would he punished/told off.
Sphyciatery and sphycology start to imurge from these seperate institutions which form speacialists.
Dont mess with the system or the system will mess with you!
Disciplinary society & Disciplinary power
- ultimate aim is to make us more usefull in modern society!
Named 'Panoptisism' after The Panopticon..
Modern panopticon...
Panonticon is the total opposite of a dungeon, in a dungeon you hide away but a panopticon it is really light and visible.
In the panonticon you are constantly being watched which makes you behave in the correct way.
Internal mental torture (panoptic effect) to think there being watched but there actually not, so no staff are needed!
Relation to last weeks lecture..(the gaze) - women act up to please the men..(the panopticon) - making mental men act in the correct way in which the institution want them to.
The modern layout if an office is like a Panoticon and its open and not in cubicals so they are constantly being watched making them work harder.
- Most modern buildings today are all made the Panopticon!
The world is under constant surveillance from the system to keep us in check and behave in the correct way!
