Culture according to Foucault aims
at the creation of ³docile bodies´.
8/7/2019 Foucault and the Panopticon
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/foucault-and-the-panopticon 29/125
Docile Bodies could work on the
new production lines in factories,adapt to the social environment of
the new cities and create new
behaviors suitable for life in publicspaces.

Foucault¶s view is that culture is a
mechanism of repression. Culture
is a system of discipline based on
surveillance.

Foucault suggests that a "carceral continuum" runs throughmodern society, from the maximum security prison, through
secure accommodation, probation, social workers, police,
and teachers, to our everyday working and domestic lives.
All are connected by the (witting or unwitting) supervision
(surveillance, application of norms of acceptable behaviour)
of some humans by others.

The emergence of prison as the form of punishment for
every crime grew out of the development of discipline in the
18th and 19th centuries, according to Foucault

Discipline, he suggests, developed a new economy and politics for
bodies. Modern institutions required that bodies must be individuated
according to their tasks, as well as for training, observation, and
control. Therefore, he argues, discipline created a whole new form of
individuality for bodies, which enabled them to perform their duty within
the new forms of economic, political, and military organizations
emerging in the modern age and continuing to today.
The individuality which discipline constructs for the bodies which it
controls has four characteristics, namely it makes individuality which is:
cellular - determining the spatial distribution of the bodiesorganic - ensuring that the activities required of the bodies are "natural"
for them
genetic - controlling the evolution over time of the activities of the
bodies
combinatory - allowing for the combination of the force of many bodies
into a single massive force

Do we live in a culture of
surveillance and control or in asociety where we have actual
freedom?

than merely exist by serving theexisting order.
