	Panopticon - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Panopticon was intended to be cheaper than that of the prisons of his time, as it required fewer staff; "Allow me to construct a prison on this model," Bentham requested to a Committee for the Reform of Criminal Law, "I will be the gaoler.
		The Panopticon is widely but erroneously believed by many people to have influenced the design of Pentonville Prison, Armagh Gaol, Eastern State Penitentiary, and several other Victorian prisons; these, however, were examples of the separate system, which was more about isolation of prisoners from each other than surveillance by their guards.
		The Panopticon was likewise later suggested as an "open" hospital architecture: "Hospitals required knowledge of contacts, contagions, proximity and crowding...

		The Panopticon is a prison concept conceived by Jeremy Bentham in 1787 with his publication of The Panopticon Letters.
		The Panopticon is based on self-control: a cylindrical prison tower with all rooms on the outside wall, backlit from floor to ceiling so the prisoners cannot hide, even in silhouette.
		The Panopticon as a metropolitan concept is currently being beta-tested in London and Los Angeles through the use of omnipresent street cameras - this was referenced by Ice Cube a decade ago.

	Varenne: Modeling interaction through the panopticon
		Most summarily, the panopticon is first of all a prison characterized by one form of relationship in which the warden watches the inmate in such a way that the inmate can never be sure that he is actually being watched at any one time.
		The panopticon is not simply about watching, it is about documenting aspects of the inmate's "body," thereby transforming him into an "individual." This is what Foucault refers to as "discipline" and characteristic of the modern epoch.
		Or rather, depending on the focus, it is the evidence that the cultural model of individualization (the panopticon) is precisely a cultural model, that is one that abstracts interpretatively aspects of the actual or experential.

	The panopticon was first introduced in the Utilitarian philosophy of Jeremy Bentham
		The panopticon was first introduced in the Utilitarian philosophy of Jeremy Bentham, as a means by which an institution could be created with the greatest measure of utility, but the least amount of work.
		The panopticon design involved a single master/guard/teacher/authority located in a centralized position by which that one person could oversee the whole area, which was sprawled in a circle around the overseer, each individual room, holding one person, unable to see each other or the master.
		The panopticon was considered the first step to the development of "self policement." The subject's uncertainty of the master's gaze and the possibility of his policement of their activities, soon begins to manifest in a form of self policement.

	Review : Isis - Panopticon
		The term "panopticon" was coined in 1791 by Jeremy Bentham and later conceptually expanded on in 1975 by Michel Foucault.
		I suspect the members of Isis spent a considerable amount of time judiciously selecting Panopticon as an appropriate thematic title, which is pertinently associated with the album’s encompassing images of metropolitan landscape taken from celestial heights.
		Panopticon is a compelling adventure, textured with brutally crushing guitar riffs, melodically ambient and cerebral arrangements, cavernously resonating bass tones, and explosively heart-pounding percussion.

	Michel Foucault, Discipline & Punish (1975), Panopticism
		The Panopticon is a royal menagerie; the animal is replaced by man,, individual distribution by specific grouping and the king by the machinery of a furtive power.
		The Panopticon is a privileged place for experiments on men, and for analysing with complete certainty the transformations that may be obtained from them.
		The Panopticon, on the other hand, must be understood as a generalizable model of functioning; a way of defining power relations in terms of the everyday life of men.

	Lyon: From Big Brother to Electronic Panopticon
		The Panopticon was to be a model prison, a new departure, a watershed in the control of deviance and a novel means of social discipline.
		Opponents of the 'new surveillance' deplore the fact that it depends upon categories, that no knowledge of the individual is required, that it is increasingly instrumental, that areas of personal life once thought to be inviolably private are invaded, and that it effectively erodes personal and democratic freedoms.
		In addition, the Panopticon as a means of exclusion may well be in eclipse, leaving the advanced societies under the superior sway of consumerism, with only a minor role left for the harsher panoptic regimes.

		The Panopticon is a structure wherein the watched cannot see the watchers, but know they are being watched: At the periphery an annular building, at the center a tower.
		The Panopticon, he argued, had seeped into the cracks of modern capitalist society, eventually subverting it, reconstructing it, bending it to its will, until the panoptic paradigm (unverifiable surveillance) was conceptually, if not structurally, everywhere present.
		The panopticon must not then be understood as a dream building: it is the diagram of a mechanism of power reduced to its ideal form...

	Irregular Times: Forward the Panopticon
		The Panopticon is an extreme form, but Bentham and others after his time have seen the creation as a model for future social organization.
		Bentham's Panopticon was not only a seminal invention, but also a powerful statement of the idea that the more an individual is observed, the more that control over the individual is taken away from from him- or her-self and concentrated in the hands of the observer.
		Before the model of the Panopticon progresses further, while individuals still have some measure of control over their own lives, it is imperative that we recognize the threat and make our private opposition public.

		Although Panopticon is still rather heavy, Isis have now all but abandoned their Neurosis-style depression-metal sound for a looser, more grandiose feel, and I must say it suits them quite well.
		Since Panopticon isn't as heavy overall as its predecessor, it stands to reason that Aaron Turner's vocal intensity would have to be adjusted to match, and he does indeed take it down a notch here.
		"Panopticon" has more moments of calm than does "Oceanic," and the vocals lean toward a more growled melody than the angry barks running throughout the latter album, but certainly the barks are still there on the former.

	The Panopticon Singularity
		The 18th century utopian philosopher Jeremy Bentham's panopticon was a prison; a circle of cells with windows facing inwards, towards a tower, wherein jailers could look out and inspect the prisoners at any time, unseen by their subjects.
		After a panopticon singularity, it will not only be illegal but impossible.) The development of a panopticon singularity does not preclude the development of a Vingean singularity; indeed, one may potentiate (or suppress) the other.
		A second important side-effect of panopticon surveillance is the chilling effect it exerts on otherwise lawful activities.

		The "Panopticon" is the English jurist and philosopher Jeremy Bentham's model penitentiary, which he described in his 1791 book Panopticon.

	Literary Encyclopedia: The Panopticon
		The Panopticon was a work in three volumes, the first comprising eight letters written by Bentham whilst in Kirchev, White Russia, commending the idea to a person in power inEngland, and the second and third describing in detail the architectural considerations of the Panopticon and how such institutions should be managed.
		The first incarnation of the Panopticon idea was as a scheme to facilitate the supervision of numbers of unskilled Russian workers by a small number of skilled English workers.
		Indeed, Bentham’s vision for the Panopticon was as a place for “punishing the incorrigible, guarding the insane, reforming the vicious, confining the suspected, employing the idle, maintaining the helpless, caring the sick, instructing the willing in any branch of industry, or training the rising race in the path of education.” (p.2)

		These memories are just the tip of the Viking's iceberg; the stuff has leaked into my adulthood, especially via first-generation Norwegian fl metal, Mastodon, High On Fire, the Polish rockers who ran my borrowed van into a Los Angeles parking deck last spring, and-- mightiest of all-- the glorious slow-release sprawl of Isis.
		Their album Oceanic was all dark grandeur and waterlogged heaviness, and those qualities define the seven tracks on their follow up Panopticon.
		Panopticon shares the crystalline production Matt Bayles (Mastodon, Pearl Jam) leant to Oceanic-- the drums and vocals are submerged, the riffs intricately monolithic-- but unlike on earlier efforts, the spare electronics are more seamlessly woven with the other instruments.

		Jeremy Bentham, who was a friend of the family, also took an interest in the young Urquhart's education and helped start him on his career.
		When Urquhart was asked to advise on the construction of a Turkish bath for Colney Hatch he saw that many of the patients would need to be supervised and suggested that the panopticon would allow such supervision without too much intrusion.
		In design terms, the Panopticon, with a central supervisory area on several levels, facilitated the continuous supervision of cells lining the inner circumference of the building while employing the minimum number of warders.
