Michel Fokine

When reading this piece, I noticed that book is all about how important and integrated prison is a main part of our society around the world. It shows how it is impossible to get rid of them, mostly because of the fact that there is no alternative to prisons really out there, and just like the title suggests prisons are the main form of “Discipline and Punishment”. Foucault's main argument is that modern society, mostly referencing France, are based on the idea of individual liberty. As prison deprives

“Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind” takes place in Montauk, New York, where Joel and Clementine meet at a beach on long island and are almost immediately drawn to each other despite their different personalities. And what they don't know is that they were former lovers that each went under a procedure to have every memory wiped of each other after their breakup, now seperated after spending two years together. The movie directed by Gondry is unique by telling a love story backwards with the use

Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind is an eye-glueing film that portrays what real love is like in a unique yet realistic way. This is the type of movie where leaving the movie for five minutes to pee or make a hot pocket would result in being confused with the plot. In this film, memory is initially shown with a scientific approach, but as you get deeper into the movie, memory becomes more precious and personal. The base and main question of this movie is: Would you have your most painful memory

The aim of this paper has been to show that how Michael Foucault’s Panopticism are used to oppress and disempower the citizens of both Oceania and Gilead and to draw the comparison between many components given in the novels with present society. The basic principle of Bentham’s panoptic theory is that power should be visible and unverifiable it’s clearly found in both the novels, both the cities were built on Bentham’s panoptic structure and represents the power where it’s visible but not verifiable

In "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind" the main character, Joel, decides to have all memory of his former girlfriend, Clementine, erased through a special medical process. The majority of the movie takes place going through Joel's episodic memories, where we learn what occurred in his relationship. As the movie continues, Joel realizes that he does not want to forget about Clementine, and most of the movie is spent trying to avoid the parts of his memory that are being erased. Memory plays an

The Digital Panopticon: Foucault and Internet Privacy In 1977, Michel Foucault wrote in Discipline and Punish about the disciplinary mechanisms of constant and invisible surveillance in part through an analysis of Jeremy Bentham's panopticon. The panopticon was envisioned as a circular prison, in the centre of which resided a guard tower. Along the circumference, individuals resided in cells that were visible to the guard tower but invisible to each other. Importantly, this guard tower was backlit

Defining Change Change can be defined as an event that occurs when something passes from one state or phase to another, the result of alteration or modification, to lay aside, abandon, or leave for another, become different in essence; to lose one's or its original nature, to make different; cause a transformation, or to make or become different in some particular way, without permanently losing one's or its former characteristics or essence. There are many different

Stability in terms of society can be defined as the state in which power is clear and defined, and the constituents abide to those in power. In modern day institutions, a certain amount of stability must exist or people would lack the motivation to get work done and would not respond to authority. To ensure motivation, employers will install cameras, or use other techniques to always keep an eye on their workers. If people are doing nothing wrong, there is no reason to have a problem with being watched

Stuart Hall Four intellectuals established Cultural Studies, namely, Richard Hoggart, Raymond Williams, E.P. Thompson, and Stuart Hall. Hall (b. 1932) has had the lion's share of publicity. Scholars working in this tradition often take their cue from his articles. Hall tells us that he grew up in Jamaica, the "blackest son" (in his words) of a middle-class, conservative family; from an early age, Hall says, he rejected his father's attempt to assimilate into white, English-speaking society
