The means of correct training, Foucault.

"The disciplinary power is to train"- body and mind is transformed / shaped "is the specific technique of a power that regards individuals both as objects and as instruments of its exercise"

Disciplinary society uses the means of correct training by using the following techniques:

  1. Hierarchical observation;
  2. Normalizing judgement;
  3. Examination

As for the hierarchical observation development of different surveillance techniques: technology: "building eyes that see without being seen", eg.: the telescope. Invisibility is the key! construction of observatories; spacial organization / layout design for best "general visibility", military camp - is the ideal model / school - imperative principles; teachers as supervisors. hospital infrastructures. circular architecture panoptican Arc-et-Senans: "the perfect disciplinary apparatus would make it possible for a single gaze to see everything constantly" pyramid even more efficient: "to form an uninterrupted network- consequently the possibility of multiplying its levels, and of distributing them over the entire surface to be supervised" increase surveillance &/ consequently functionality. surveillance > economic operator (improving profit) : part of the labour process / industrialized system of production; "labour under the control of capital" / power "physics of power, the hold over the body, operate according to the laws of optics and mechanics"


As for normalizing judgement "power of the norm"= "homogeneity s the rule" definition of mass behavior / "universal recognized behavior/agreement" disciplinary punishment "involves a double juridico-natural reference": artificial (set by laws and regulations) & natural (defined by observable processes of the "norm"/ mainstream behavior / surroundings). "punish is to exercise"; repetition and insistence is required to best accomplish the corrective goal. another duality: gratification-punishment. "good & evil" "Rank in itself serves as a reward or punishment"- level/value of the individual in comparison to the others, via a classification system / categories / qualification. education =standardization of industrial processes "conform to the same model". - unity "The perpetual penalty that traverses all points and supervises every instant in the disciplinary institutions compares, differentiates, hierarchizes, homogenizes, excludes. In short, it normalizes"

As for the examination examination= "formation of knowledge & exercise of power" a combination of the strategies used at the previously analyzed matters of observation and normalization within our society. eg.: health care system/ Hospital. School/ education system: comparison/ measuring / judging "subjects" turned into "objects", examination being the "ceremony of this objectification". examination also serves as means to capture / trace / fix individuals > documentation / registration. "individual as a case". writing opens up two possibilities: "constitution of the individual as a describable, analyzable object"+ "constitution of a comparative system that made possible the measurement of overall phenomena, the description of groups, the characterizaton of collective facts, the calculation of gaps between individuals, their distribution in a given population"

behavior is regulated. personality defined. individuality constructed to fit in a whole - collective - society.
