In Part V of The History of Sexuality, Volume 1, Michel Foucault documents the historical shift from a sovereign power concentrated in death to a normalized, institutionalized regulation of life focused in part on the control of sexuality. He argues that this movement marks not only a reconceptualization of the living subject as a valuable source of both labor and production but also a new political interest in sex as a site of surveillance, classification, and management. Individuals in the contemporary

described the Panopticon, an institutional building designed to make the people surveilled unable to know when they were observed. Years later, as forms of power changed and transformed throughout time, the Panopticon becomes the perfect analogy for Michel Foucault to explain the advent of a new form of dominance: Disciplinary power. This form of power, strictly related to Foucault’s theory of bio-power, will later become key in the development of organizational theory and understanding of modern management

In the article, Discipline and Punish by Michel Foucault, he describes a social theory called panopticism. In Foucault’s panopticism he talks about the panopticon, an architectural plan that was created by Jeremy Bentham. The Prison structure of the twenty first century uses that same building design as the panopticon. We see how the plague town in the Panopticism shows a chain of authority. Prisons in the twenty first century use the same style of chain of authority in their correctional institutes

1. List the major topics/issues Sylvia Plath explores in The Bell Jar (at least four). To what extent are the issues still relevant today? The major topics explored in The Bell Jar include the inferiority of women, the wrongful treatment of the mentally ill, sexuality and the double standard for men and women on sex, and conformity to society’s expectations. The inferiority of women refers to society’s view that women are subordinate to men, and are supposed to serve men after marriage, become housewives

Hassrad and Cox (2013) sought to create a model that modernizes and adapts the Burrell and Morgan’s model to unpack the meta-theoretical assumptions of the paradigm not accounted for – post-structuralism, and more broadly, post modernism. This section will briefly discuss each of Burrell and Morgan’s original criteria in relation to the literature on third-order analysis to justify the use of this modification. Hassard and Cox see three main approaches to organizational theorizing, structural, anti-structural

How Panopticism is used in Society Panopticism models our system of control and power. Using disciplinary actions, institutions have gained power more easily and effectively without using physical power. Michel Foucault’s theory of Panopticism is incorporated to many institutions in modern society. Government and institutions gain control through discipline and people’s fear of punishment. Panopticism uses surveillance to change the behavior of a person mentally rather than physically. The Panopticon

exerted throughout the ritual at Kennedy Road Tabernacle in a Pentecostal church, demonstrating how those in power have control over the ones who are inferior or subordinate. Throughout this examination, I will use the theories of Louis Althusser and Michel Foucault to analyze the ways in which power is exerted within the members of this community. During my observations at our visit to the Pentecostal church, there was an unequal distribution of power between the men and women in labour divisions

Michel Foucault’s The History of Sexuality sheds light on the Victorian era and how the regulation of discourses on sex reveals that Victorian society is more perverse than contemporary society thinks of it. A similar approach can be applied to contemporary society and political discourse. During the 2016 presidential election, The Washington Post released a video of current President-elect Donald Trump bragging about what many consider to be sexually assaulting women. Recorded saying comments such

banding the borderline between sanity and madness. Such a situation evokes questions about the nature of madness and its understanding in our world. From the philosophical perspective, this topic has been raised by numerous philosophers; among whom Michel Foucault, in the book Madness and Civilization: A History of Insanity in the Age of Reason, is the most famous for his critique of the post-Enlightenment attitude

Whenever he punishes his children, he says they commit sin and he puripies them bu punishment in order to maintain disicipline. Foucault’s Discipline and Punish describes several techniques to achieve discipline. He states that anyone can achieve discipline, “discipline proceeds from the distribution of individuals in space.” (DAP 141). The first technique is ‘enclosure’. In this close view focuses different kinds of people at one place. It is the place of project to disciplinary in monotonies way
