what is order and what is disorder?” To answer the essay question about disorder in contemporary UK‚ I think that the concept of social order needs to be tackled first.

His ideas on sexuality mirror the ideas of sexuality used in Sexing The Cherry (Winterson. J 1989‚ 47-60). Postmodernism affects the way that we read a text‚ but why is that more important than reading a text for its own individual merit. Postmodernism

Panopticism Michael Foucault’s essay Panopticism was written much differently than other essays that I have read. Panopticism is intended to be‚ as mentioned by Hunter‚ a “meticulous tactical partitioning” (pg. 212). Foucault writes in such a different style then most of the authors that I have studied. He uses unique grammar and sentence structures that make sense but take a while to understand‚ as well as different use words that truly mean one thing and in his mind meaning another and even
