Michel Foucault

Michel Foucault's "Discipline and Punish" is a seminal work in social theory that examines the evolution of punishment and its relationship to power.

Foucault traces the shift from public executions to more subtle forms of disciplinary control in modern societies.

He argues that power operates not only through repression but also through the normalization of behavior.

The book's analysis of surveillance, discipline, and the creation of docile bodies has had a profound impact on various fields, including criminology, sociology, and literary studies.

It remains a crucial text for understanding the workings of power in contemporary society.
