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. 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

mass behavior / "universal recognized behavior/agreement"

As for the examination

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