Of course‚ any society without power structures or discipline would be entirely anarchic. When we look at discipline and power in society today‚ many mechanisms at work are the product of the technologies we have created. Technology today gives

Michel Foucault once said “ Where there is power ‚ there is resistance.” Foucault’s def-inition of power transcends what we often resonate it with in regards to status or politi-cal standing with in a community. He refers to it as something that is not socially con-structed but rather something more elusive.

Michel Foucault‚ in his article‚ Subject and Power‚ notes the reason for Henry’s irresponsibility’s when it comes to his position in power. He notes that it is no different than parents over children‚ psychiatry over the mentally ill‚ of medicine over the population (Foucault 781).

When viewers gaze upon Diego Velázquez’s Las Meninas (painted in 1656)‚ they can experience the avant-garde aura of its time as the Baroque painting displays both candidness and movement. In the way that Velázquez painted his work of art‚ Las Meninas can be classified as Baroque Naturalism (Stratton-Pruitt 5)‚ suggesting influence from Caravaggio who painted with realism and strong chiaroscuro (“light-dark” spotlighting tones). The shift from Mannerism to Baroque developed a thematic motto for artists

and discipline. Torture was necessary because‚ according to Foucault‚ “partial proofs meant partial guilt”. It was also found extremely helpful in receiving a confession. Breaking a suspect down to the point he or she confesses legitimizes the torture and investigation. Foucault also states that investigations are to be kept secret from the accused.

Despite her female name ‘Alexina’ and her knowledge of being a girl‚ as declared and attached to her assumed identity
