Document Summary
Monday after reading week gets released, due on wednesday. Review where have we been for midterm: digital culture, bio-power, knowledge as power, proposed site(s) for engagement: Chicago: the university of chicago press, 1983 constant verification of identity and what we need to do to prove it online. I would like to say, first of all, what has been the goal of my work during the last twenty years. It has not been to analyze the phenomena of power, nor to elaborate the foundations of such an analysis. My objective, instead, has been to create a history of the different modes by which, in our culture, human beings are made subjects. My work has dealt with three modes of objectification which transform human beings into subjects. The subject is either divided inside himself or divided from others. Examples are the mad and the sane, the sick and the healthy, the criminals and the good boys".
