Philosophize This!

NOTE

Moving Past Foucault's Model of Disciplinary Society

In the modern era, it is essential to surpass Foucault's disciplinary society where distinct institutions like schools, factories, and hospitals normalized human behavior. DeLooze argues that life has evolved from being segmented into separate 'enclosures' to blending these institutions. Education is now a lifelong process, factories have transformed into companies with a focus on metastability rather than rigidity. The corporate world employs control mechanisms like bonuses and team-building incentives, fostering a constant state of competition among employees. DeLooze distinguishes this new 'society of control' from the homogenizing nature of Foucault's disciplinary society, emphasizing the modulation of life where individuals embody various roles simultaneously.
