Document Summary
The assignment will be given to us by sunday. Census: this is a pamphlet containing numerous questions that is documented and regulated. This is for the pattern of demographics. Other systems of surveillance and discipline: any system which includes and connects us through numbers (telephone, pc, student no. , banking system, user acc. no. , the school"s repository system, discourse: as a system of surveillance and discipline: This is an information through conversation of practices. The point is that all of this information is incredibly pervasive. Foucault argues that disciplinary power takes more technologically sophisticated forms such as barcodes, monitored phone calls, and electronic security cameras: scientific discourses produce truths that then later on function as a norm. On top of norms, consider subjectivity: it operates on constantly modifying our behaviour to the norm. We have a pathological need to fit in. Individuality has been reduced to a common measure.
