Birth of the Prison. A Reflection on the Panopticon Since Michel Foucault’s 1975 book ’Discipline and Punish: The Birth of the Prison was published‚ it has been met with many criticisms due to the sociologist’s views on an array of subjects. Foucault contends that panopticism‚ more specifically the Panopticon‚ is the ideal form of discipline within the prison institution because it creates a setting in which the inmates subject themselves to real or perceived guards and surveillance. After careful

An Ethnographic Study Macy’s Employees Social Performances In my ethnographic study‚ I apply theoretical concepts developed by Erving Goffman in The Presentation of Self in Everyday Life to the behavior of employees in the retail department store‚ Macy’s. Goffman (1959) argues that social interactions in everyday life can be understood as presentations between performers and audiences.

So‚ does this implementation of surveillance really make people behave? The texts “Panopticism” by Michel Foucault and One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest by Ken Kesey both focus on how to make people behave. Foucault’s theory explains that if surveillance is used on people in seclusion‚ the authorities will claim ultimate control. Kesey’s novel challenges this theory

In the present moment‚ I am unable to say if I agree or disagree with Foucault as he articulates himself well. A repeating theme in this selection begs the question what is madness because in some circumstances what seems to be madness is really recognition of truth.

One of them is the Foucauldian discourse analysis that has its own assumptions‚ emphasis and methods.
