Document Summary
Not electoral democracy on state driven processes. Multiple fragmented spaces: people express in multiple areas. Fluid identities: there are many different groups within this sector with different identities. Different scales of action: bottom-up/top-down policy making. Not just about participating in an election, they have many faces. The state is the structure and arrangement of how society is runs. Governance is the way the society is run. It is about the control we have over our own bodies. Foucault s panopticon: the early prisons were designed in a circle, with a single guard tower in the middle. Even though it was impossible for the guard to watch all of them, the prisoners would behave because they could not be sure they were not being watched. > this translates to security state apparatuses today like the nsa. At the beginning of the 1950s/1960s, the state was in charge of pushing projects and the economy.
