	Foucault, Michel: "Discipline and Punish: The Birth of the Prison" \| Polyopticon.org
		Foucault's argument is that discipline creates "docile bodies", ideal for the new economics, politics and warfare of the modern industrial age - bodies which function in factories, ordered military regiments, and school classrooms.
		Prison is a form used by the "disciplines", a new technological power, which can also be found, according to Foucault, in schools, hospitals, military barracks, etc. The main ideas of Discipline and Punish can be grouped according to its four parts: torture, punishment, discipline and prison.
		Therefore, he argues, discipline created a whole new form of individuality for bodies, which enabled them to perform their duty within the new forms of economic, political, and military organizations emerging in the modern age and continuing to today.

	Discipline and Punish (Site not responding. Last check: )
		"Discipline" may be identified neither with an institution nor with an apparatus; it is a type of power, a modality for its exercise, comprising a whole set of instruments, techniques, procedures, levels of application, targets; it is a "physics" or an "anatomy" of power, a technology.
		The development of the disciplines marks the appearance of elementary techniques belonging to a quite different economy: mechanisms of power which, instead of proceeding by deduction, are integrated into the productive efficiency of the apparatuses from within, into the growth of this efficiency and into the use of what it produces.
		Hence the fact that the disciplines use procedures of partitioning and verticality, that, they introduce, between the different elements at the same level, as solid separations as possible, that they define compact hierarchical networks, in short, that they oppose to the intrinsic, adverse force of multiplicity the technique of the continuous, individualizing pyramid.

		Discipline and Punish: The Birth of the Prison.
		Punishment had no doubt ceased to be centred on torture as a technique of pain; it assumed as its principal object loss of wealth or rights.
		Punishment, therefore, cannot be identified with or even measured by the redress of the injury; in punishment, there must always be a portion that belongs to the prince, and, even when it is combined with the redress laid down, it constitutes the most important element in the penal liquidation of the crime.

	PARENTING \|\| Sensitive Spots \| Discipline and Punish
		Disciplining a child is a delicate process and is one aspect of parenting that we feel uncomfortable about, because the power imbalance between adult and child is so stark.
		Discipline is woven into the fabric of people's lives, it's a way of relating to the world outside and ourselves, it is not a separate experience of parenting.
		Parents adopt different styles of discipline and punishment based on what they themselves have learnt in their childhood, or as a reaction to what they were exposed to.

		Discipline & Punish: The Birth of the Prison
		In Discipline and Punish Michel Foucault develops the idea of the transition of God's omniscience into the state's omniscience, and points to interesting nodes along the way: the invention of the table and the Panopticon being the most compelling and far-reaching.
		Foucault often needed better attention to historical accuracy-- he does periodize badly, and he's hopeless at anything outside France --but his study of the changes in the philosophy of punishment and social control here in "Discipline and Punish" is excellent.

	Michel Foucault (Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy)
		Discipline and Punish marks the transition to what commentators generally characterize as Foucault's "genealogical" period, in contrast to the preceding "archaeological" period.
		Discipline and Punish (1975)is a genealogical study of the development of the "gentler" modern way of imprisoning criminals rather than torturing or killing them.
		Discipline through imposing precise norms ("normalization") is quite different from the older system of judicial punishment, which merely judges each action as allowed by the law or not allowed by the law and does not say that those judged are "normal" or "abnormal".

	Discipline and Punish summary
		It became necessary to get rid of the old economy of the power to punish, based on the principles of the confused and inadequate multiplicity of authorities, the distribution and concentration of the power correlative with actual inertia and inevitable tolerance, punishments that were spectacular in their manifestations and haphazard in their application.
		Punishment here is seen as “only one element of a double system (of) gratification-punishment” which “operates in the process of training and correction” through the careful definition and bestowal of rewards (180).
		Disciplines “try to define in relation to the (human) multiplicities a tactics of power that fulfills three criteria:” lowest cost, maximized social power, and linkage to “the output of the apparatuses … within which it is exercised; in short to increase both the docility and the utility of all the elements of the system” (218).

	Covaleskie / DEWEY, DISCIPLINE, AND DEMOCRACY
		Discipline is the mark and the means of effective agency, the ability to act in accordance with one’s choices and commitments.
		Individuals who fail to develop discipline are hardly suited to self-government; the same is true of those who have been constantly subject to the will of others and disconnected from the purposes of their own work.
		The nature of discipline, and the proper way to foster it among the young, is an important issue because of the possibility that our views here are self-fulfilling; if we treat individuals as though they are not agents consistently enough and from a young enough age, we may make it so.

		The methodology of Discipline and Punish resounds with dissonance to the ears of Marxists and liberals.
		Believing in the force of reason, the reformers wished to shift the locus of punishment from the body to the mind, to present to criminals, the certain prospect that their acts would cause more pain than pleasure so that, as rational beings, they would avoid committing illegalities in the first place.

	John F. Covaleskie / POWER GOES TO SCHOOL: TEACHERS, STUDENTS, AND DISCIPLINE
		This relationship of visibility and invisibility is reciprocal; for the subject to be disciplined, it must be visible, at least potentially, to the disciplinary gaze, and know itself to be; at the same time, the gaze must actually be invisible so that it is effective even when it is not actually turned on an individual.
		Discipline is an organizational and productive force, “composing forces in order to obtain an efficient machine.” It acts in the world by bringing together (composing) the materials (including time and individuals) in such a way that the world is changed — productivity ensues.

	Foucault Discipline and Punish quotes - CHALLENGE \| Liberty & Security

		Discipline and Punishis to contrast and separate the old ritualistic forms of sovereign power from the minutiae of the new disciplinary techniques.
		A ‘political anatomy’, which was also a ‘mechanics of power’, was being born; it defined how one may have a hold over others’ bodies, not only so that they may do what one wishes, but so that they may operate as one wishes, with the techniques, the speed and the efficiency that one determines.

	The Lost Experience as Foucault's Panopticon
		The panopticon as theorized by Benthem was a means to spread and institutionalize discipline, in all its facets, throughout a society.
		In this process the act of discipline itself replaced the original function of discipline (e.g., military discipline was no longer a mere means of preventing looting or desertion, but a basic technique to enable an army to exist).
		Once trained in a discipline, a particular institutional model was transferred to other areas, and disseminated throughout society, to be administered in a detached manner by the state.

	On Reading Discipline and Punish
		This new form of punishment will focus on the criminal as a deviant actor within society who is to be judged as simultaneously alien to it -- as the individual violator of a "social contract".
		Foucault locates this use in the very rise and transformation of "popular illegalities" that can be characterized by their insertion and articulation in political and social struggles: the revolutions of 1789 and 1848, stratification effects in processes of industrialization, labor movements, and "workers' vagabondage" contributed to a new conception of criminality.
		Discipline and Punish is explicit and unrelenting in its moral-political stance.

	Questions About Kids: What's the Difference Between Discipline and Punishment? (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Punishment can serve to emphasize parental conviction, clear the air between parent and child, and relieve parental frustration when a child's behavior is especially exasperating.
		Punishment should not be used, however, in instances when a child's behavior is beyond her control (bedwetting, regression in bowel habits) or when behavior is truly accidental (spilling milk).
		Equating discipline with punishment diminishes both the responsibility of parenthood and the promise of childhood.
