Michel Foucault: Discipline and Punish
Michel Foucault examines the transformation of punishment in Western society, from public executions to the modern prison system. Exploring surveillance, discipline, power and social control, Discipline and Punish is a landmark work of twentieth-century philosophy and social theory that continues to influence debates about institutions and authority.
The Birth of the Prison
The grisly spectacle of public executions and torture of centuries ago has been replaced by the penal system in western society - but has anything really changed?
In his revolutionary work on control and power relations in our public institutions, Michel Foucault argues that the development of prisons, police organizations and legal hierarchies has merely changed the focus of domination from our bodies to our souls. Even schools, factories, barracks and hospitals, in which an individual's time is controlled hour by hour, are part of a disciplinary society.
'Foucault's genius is called forth into the eloquent clarity of his passions ... his best book' Washington Post
