Supervise and Punish. The Birth of the Prison

More than 250 years ago, Robert Fransa Damien, who attacked the life of King Louis XV, was quarterly on Grevskaya Square in Paris. With a description of his monstrous execution, it begins to “oversee and punish” - one of the most revolutionary books on the modern theory of society. The bloody performance of the execution allows Foucault to demonstrate the differences between individual violence and the violence of the state and show how the main object of state control is not the body, but the soul of the criminal. The evolution of the methods of supervision and punishment gradually turns rude state violence into a complex mechanism of total biofilament, enveloping a modern person in his daily life and forming a society of total control
