Major figure in two successive waves of 20th century french thought the structuralist waves of the 1960s and then the poststructuralist wave. Disciplines included history, sociology, psychology, and philosophy. Continually sought for a way of understanding the ideas that shape our present not only in terms of the historical function these ideas played, but also by tracing the changes in their function through history.

Your post should unpack" this technique and explain how and why it reflects disciplinary power. Foucault"s concepts where appropriate. discipline is a mechanism of power which regulates the behaviour of individuals in the social body. This is done by regulating the organisation of space (architecture etc. (, of time (timetables) and people"s activity and behaviour (drills, posture, movement). It is enforced with the aid of complex systems of surveillance.
