Cihad: Foucault and Deleuze

The chief of the disciplinary power is to 'train', rather than to select and levy or, no doubt, to train in order to levy and select all the more. It does not link forces together in order to reduce them, it seeks to bind them together in such a way as to multiply and use them. Discipline 'makes' individuals; it is the specific technique of a power that regards individuals both as objects as instruments of it exercise. The exercise of discipline presupposesa mechanism that coerces by mean of observation an apparatus in which the technique make it possible to see induce effects of power, and in which, conversely, the means of correction make those on whom they are applied clearly visible. Slowly, int he course of the classical age, we see the construction of those observatories of human multiplicity for which the history of the sciences has so little good to say.
