discipline and punish: the birth of the prison
first american edition, 1977.
“there is no glory in punishing."
michel foucault trains his critical eye on the evolution of western penal systems, tracing the shift from physical punishment to the modern prison and the rise of disciplinary power. through a critical analysis of torture, punishment, and surveillance, foucault argues that the transformation from public spectacle to the "invisible" power of imprisonment reflects deeper changes in social and power structures.
