SOC316H5 Lecture Notes - Lecture 4: Gilles Deleuze, Street Light, Jeremy Bentham
Document Summary
Outline: 3 models of surveillance, predominant models in field of criminology, characteristics of surveillance. Surveillance about accumulation of knowledge about population or sites. Goal is about managing population or sites. Forces people to conform rather than to question. **surveillance leads to conformity- never know when you are being watched so they simply comply** Foucault"s panopticon: michelle foucault, deleuze & guattari"s survellant assemblages (most recent) Tries to deal with surveillance in the global context: conceptual tool that allows us to rethink surveillance and how current survellant assemblages work, not only governments/major organizations that monitor but all of us engage in monitoring each other. Suggests that we are watching and being monitored. Some groups in different ways/for different purposes or more heavily than others: monitoring is an essential component of neo-liberalism. Surveillance itself is a way of control; no longer done only by governments but it can be done by anyone. Circular building with tower in the middle.
