disciplinary power as outlined by Michel Foucault. This paper explains what Foucault meant by disciplinary power‚ it explores the primary elements of disciplinary power‚ it will provide examples from history that helped establish Foucault’s beliefs‚ and it will also look at how disciplinary power applies to today’s society. Foucault’s theory of disciplinary power is based on historical evidence from leading armies to the control of criminals in prison‚

What Is an Author? Michel Foucault‚ 1969 The coming into being of the notion of "author" constitutes the privileged moment of individualization in the history of ideas‚ knowledge‚ literature‚ philosophy‚ and the sciences. Even today‚ when we reconstruct the history of a concept‚ literary genre‚ or school of philosophy‚ such categories seem relatively weak‚ secondary‚ and super imposed scansions in comparison with the solid and fundamental unit of the author and the work. I shall not offer here a

Foucault’s theorisation of the power/knowledge relationship Foucault in theorizing the relationship between power and knowledge basically focused on how power operated in the institutions and in its techniques. The point is how power was supported by knowledge in the functioning of institutions of punishment. “He places the body at the centre of the struggles between different formations of power/knowledge. The techniques of regulation are applied to the body” (Wheterell et al.‚ 2001: 78) Power

Besides that‚ the length of the pendulum did influence

Student I.D. 25822123 3. Foucault in Contemporary Theories Our bodies are connected to essentially all aspects of our lives. We utilize them to survive and function on a biological and social level. It is no wonder there is abundance of theories concerning embodiment. One key philosopher that has influenced theories concerning embodiment is Michel Foucault. By putting the body into focus‚ he has decompartmentalized power dynamics concerning the body‚ state‚ and society. He suggests power does not

Using a Pendulum to Determine g Aim: To determine the rate of acceleration due to gravity using the motion of a pendulum. Hypothesis: The numerical g value measured on earth is estimated to be 9.8 ms-2 Apparatus: * Retort Stand * Boss head and clamp * Approximately 1 metre of string * 50g mass carrier or pendulum bob * Stopwatch * Metre ruler Theory: When a simple pendulum swings with a small angle‚ the mass on the end performs a good approximation of the back-and-forth

How a Pendulum Works Isaac Olson Mitch Koebnick‚ Kyle Orr 13 September 2013 A Period Purpose There are three purposes of this experiment. The first purpose is to determine the relationship of the period and the amplitude of the pendulum. The second purpose is to determine the relationship of the period and the mass of the pendulum. The final‚ but most certainly not the least‚ purpose of this experiment is to determine the relationship of the period and the length of the pendulum. Procedure

PCS125 Lab – The Simple Pendulum Objective and Background Objective: The Objective of this experiment is to examine the simple harmonic motion and to determine the value of the acceleration due to gravity from the analysis of the period of the simple pendulum. [1] Background: There are three equations that will be used to calculate the period of motion of the simple pendulum. They are the slope of the line of the graph of T² against L‚ and the gravity of the pendulum motion. The period of the
