- Surveillance
- Foucault: Birth of the prison
- Two forms of punishment:
- Sovereign power: Rule by monarch resulting in BRUTAL punishments.
- Disciplinary Power: body, mind and soul governed through surveillance.
- The Ponopticon: the few can see the many, prisoners don't know they are being watched so they just have to behave at all times
- There is a dispersal of discipline within society and its institutions where individuals conform through self-surveillance.
- Criticisms of Foucault
- wrongly assumes that the expressive aspects of punishment no longer exist within society
- exaggerates the extent of control: Goffman - individuals are able to resist controls
- feminists see CCTV as an extension of the "male gaze"
- CCTV doesn't necessarily reduce crime
- Two forms of punishment:
- Surveillant assemblages
- Ericson + Heggarty - surveillance technologies involve manipulation of virtual objects in cyber space rather than physical bodies in physical space
- Social sorting + categorical suspicion
- catergorise people so they are treated differently depending on the risk they pose
- people placed under suspicion because they belong to a certain group
- Foucault: Birth of the prison
- Synoptic Surveillance
- Mathiesen - Everybody watches everybody now
- Thompson - powerful groups such as politicians fear media's surveillance of them
