Discussion 1: Foucault argues in the conclusion of our reading that "discipline" is not just about control, and that the disciplinary society works by producing new kinds of knowledge. He cites the rise of psychiatry and clinical medicine as examples. In an online society as our own, it is easy to spot the effects of surveillance, from the watchful eye of the National Security Agency (NSA) to make us "careful" of the most common behavior, to Facebook sending seductive ads to match their tracking our credit card spending habits. Can you think of other examples of how our society disciplines us by producing new forms of knowledge? What Would Foucault Say?

Discussion 2: analysis of the quote presented "our society is one not of spectacle, but of surveillance [...] on the whole, therefore, one can speak of the formation of a disciplinary society in this movement that stretches....to an indefinitely generalizable mechanism of ‘panopticism.'...because it has infiltrated the others...making it possible to bring the effects of power to the most minute and distant elements"
