Panopticism and Power: How Surveillance Shapes Society according to Michel Foucault

Ever feel like you're being watched, even when you're alone? You're not paranoid. This video explores Michel Foucault's concept of the panopticon, a powerful model for understanding how surveillance shapes our behavior and maintains social order. We'll delve into the history of the panopticon, its architectural design, and its psychological impact. But it goes beyond physical prisons. We'll examine how this principle operates in schools, workplaces, social media, and the digital world, exploring the illusion of transparency and the subtle ways we internalize the gaze, policing our own actions. Discover how the internet has become a digital panopticon, collecting our data and shaping our choices. Finally, we'll discuss strategies for resisting this pervasive surveillance and reclaiming our autonomy in an increasingly monitored world. Join us for this thought-provoking exploration of power, control, and the future of freedom.
