Heterotopias‚ as defined by Michel Foucault in his 1967 lecture‚ “On Other Spaces‚” represent fluctuating spaces often linked to time‚ which can arise out of need for the individual or community‚ and which cannot be accessed freely. To discern the concept of a heterotopia‚ one must understand that a standard definition for it does not necessarily exist.

Power: the capacity or ability to direct or influence the behavior of others or the course of events. While this is the dictionary definition‚ power can be viewed in several different manners. Michel Foucault took a different approach on this concept by developing his own theory on the phenomenon of power through his observations on subjects ranging from school discipline to administration systems. A writer named Jonathan Gaventa described Foucault’s work stating it “marks a radical departure from

Michel Foucault’s initial intent was not to analyze the phenomena of power and discourse‚ “nor to elaborate the foundations of such an analysis” (Foucault). His objective was to examine the main aspects of how human beings are made subjects. He came to the conclusion-that in order to understand how individuals become subjects‚ you must acknowledge the power relations within a society. Michel Foucault’s theory of power and discourse was first created/published in his book “Discipline and Punish: The

Goffman and Foucault: Institutionalisation and Identity Social welfare institutions threaten people’s identity as they are built with the purpose of gathering ‘abnormal’ people from society and institutionalising them in order to create a better or just society (Dreyfus and Rabinow‚ 1982). Goffman and Foucault both discuss how institutions such as mental hospitals‚ prisons and even schools take away peoples identity by forcing them to be subordinated to a hierarchy of power; whereby they must follow

In his concept of the panopticon‚ Foucault adopted Jeremy Bentham’s prison design as a metaphor for modern disciplinary power. According to Foucault‚ discipline is invoked through an individual’s consciousness of permanent visibility and surveillance‚ resulting in compliant and self-policing behaviours as if constantly being watched (Nettleton‚ 1997). Engrained in this concept is Foucault’s notion of discourse‚ where he asserts that power is fabricated through language and practices‚ acting as leverage

Many people assume that ballet’s set vocabulary of movement places limitations on how far the art can expand. Little do many people realize that this vocabulary is a mere foundation

Analysis: “Panopticism” and “Our Secret” In Michael Foucault’s reading on “Panopticism” he breaks down the social/economical systems and explains that society’s mentality on the law system.

In one paragraph in “Panopticism”‚ a disciplinary mechanism is described‚ which is considered the best way for one person to be punished
