Evil and Humanity

Foucault and the Panopticon

Culture according to Foucault aims
at the creation of “docile bodies”.
Docile Bodies could work on the
new production lines in factories,
adapt to the social environment of
the new cities and create new
behaviors suitable for life in public
spaces.
Foucault’s view is that culture is a
mechanism of repression. Culture
is a system of discipline based on
surveillance.
