Main points: disciplinary power and surveillance societies: combination of punitive system and normalizing practices, the production of subjects that surveil and subjects to be surveilled: whose (national) security, resistance and uncovering subjugated knowledges. Michel foucault: power/knowledge/truth, discourse of knowledge, subjugated knowledge, disciplinary power (v. juridical power, panopticonism, surveillance societies, producing subjects that surveil; subjected that are surveilled, power is diffuse. Foucault & power: enforcing power psychologically, modern power- governing behaviour, not just top-down; it circulates, working in multiple directions, ex: control and regulation of our health, sexuality (as reproductive mechanism) or nay other forms of social product. Jurdicial power v. disciplinary power: jurdicial power- power related to the law or administrative justice. Disciple is productive as well as repressive: juridicial controls by denying; discipline operates in two directions at once (discourages undisciplined action but it also encourages disciplined action) Discipline homogenizes through activities: juridical power operated by defining a threshold between two fields of activity (e. g. lawful/unlawful).
