Panopticon – the prison
• The Panopiticon was an innovate prison
design by English philosopher Jeremy
Bentham in 1785. In it he designed a prison in
which all inmates could be constantly
watched or be under the threat of being
watched.
Michel Foucault (1926-1984)
• Foucault's ideas centred on
History, particularly around how
we know about the world around
us and each other. He wrote
extensively on the history of
sexuality and gender and was a
pioneer of "Queer Theory" he
main contributions include.
• Panopticalisation
• Knowledge and Power
• He died from an AID's related
illness in 1984
Focault – main points
• Foucault's ideas explain why we are so obsessed with Voyeurism in
Postmodernity.
• Foucault thought that ‘the panopticon’ was interesting and started to
apply the idea to Society
• Foucault suggested that the act of watching (voyeurism) was an act of
power and control on part of the viewer. We are never ourselves in social
situations until we are alone away from others controlling sight.
• Because of this people act differently and the act of watching becomes
an act of control.
• Recently Foucault's ideas have been used to understand Reality TV and
the Media.
