Discipline with its two facets. One where it serves as an enclosure, wherein there are negative functions (breaking of communications, punishing of unauthorized movements), and the other where it is a machine, wherein power is lightened but more effective (Utopian, perhaps).

Foucault and Freud on social control and discipline Foucault and Freud have different views on what is needed to keep a civilization from going extinct.

That discipline and punish is now evolved into a form of confining those to a small space behind walls where the public cannot see them. The punishment is not of the body but of the mind and soul, as Foucault calls it. Foucault argues that a new relationship

Joel, after his ex-girlfriend Clementine stops recognizing him, discovers she went to a clinic that allows for a memory to be removed precisely from a person's brain. Devastated, he decides to go to through the same procedure himself. Most of the movie takes place in Joel's
