panoptical power


Explanation:
ook hier weer een verwijzing naar "big brother is watching you"...

vb.:

"In these latter cases we might appear to return to notions of panoptical power as circulating and capillary, to Foucault's "minute disciplines, the panopticisms of everyday," in which nobody possesses power. Yet, when we come to look more closely, contra Foucault and as Beauvoir realizes, some are more disciplined, more normalized, and less powerful than others – among them, women."

Succes,

Serge L.
