Surveillance - Coggle Diagram
Surveillance
-
Foucault
Disciplinary power
See it in school, education, workplace
-
Our mind is under surveillance, which has seeped through all parts of society
Surveillance becomes self surveillance, as you assume you are being watched, so regulate behaviour
After 19th century, surveillance became a prominent form of social control
-
Eg. prisoners begin day at 6 when drum is rolled, make bed and get dressed when drum is rolled
Penopticon - Bentham
-
Assume they are being watched, so act how they should act
-
-
Sovereign power
-
-
Before 19th century, the monarch had complete power
Eg. public humiliation, flesh torn from skin, boiling oil
-
Dispersal of discipline
-
-
Currently, non prison based social control practices like community service is a part of 'carceral archipelago'
Education, family, mental asylums, and social services all control people in society
In the 19th century, there was a move to disciplinary power as there was a focus on conformity through self discipline, including workhouses, mental asylums, factories, and schools
Evaluation (AO3)
Norris - people still commit crime under CCTV, so having surveillance doesn't prevent crime or lead to self surveillance
Gill and Loveday - most robbers, burglars, and shoplifters are not put off by CCTV
Public humiliation is not disappearing - it still exists, but in different forms (eg. guilty by press)
Synoptic surveillance
Thompson
For those in power (eg. politicians), this type of surveillance is concerning (Matt Hancock, Prince Andrew)
More opportunities for those in power to get caught, leading to greater consequences for them

Mathiesen

Mann et al

Assemblages
-
Haggerty and Ericson - see these assemblages through technology, where 2 or more forms of surveillance combine to create new forms of surveillance
For example, Ring doorbells, combination of doorbell and camera
