E30: Foucault, /Discipline and Punish/, and voluntary panopticism, part 1

30 min • 19 april 2023

Part 1 is a synopsis of Foucault's claim that the societal attitude toward punishment of criminals changed radically over a period of about 80 years, starting in the mid-1700s: from punishment as vengeance, to punishment as persuading the minds of many, to punishment as correcting the personality of one.
