3. Key WordsKey Words  Discourse- an entity of sequences of signs that are meant to put everything in it’s place.  Panoptic- “All seeing”  Subject- The “self” or “individual.” For Foucault, the subject is in a state of being “subjected.”  Power/ Knowledge- Power requires “knowledge” to help it sort, analyze, and identify individuals.

5. The Repressive HypothesisThe Repressive Hypothesis  The 17 th century is the beginning of the age of sexual repression. Discourses were applied to sex. These discourses changed the meaning of the language of sex.  The discourses concerning sex would provide power to people who contained the knowledge of sex. To hear and speak about sex was a power and a privilege.

6.  The act of tying sex to sin creates the discourse of desire. All desires are made into discourses that cannot be spoken about, but instead confessed.  Christianity creates a detachment discourse : resisting bodily desires results in becoming closer to god through physical suffering (self-inflicted punishment).  Censorship of sex. What are the consequence?

7. Self-policing of sex creates a social discourse. Certain words are associated with sex and it’s subjects. Governments view the subjects as a population. The population is tied with sex. -Sex is tied with man-power, life expectancy, habits, marriage, rules, and family organization. - An emergence of sexual analysis. Sex is now also tied with knowledge and must be analyzed and undergo examination. -The subtle sexual repression of children.

8. Sex was categorized, allowing discourses of perversion to spring up over the 18 th and 19 th century. -Engaging in certain sexual acts could result in a crime being committed. -Couples and “troubled” children were screened for deviant behaviors. Rocky Horror Picture Show (1975) celebrates the sexual deviancy that we’ve been taught to avoid: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4plqh6obZW4

D&P&PEL  Partially Examined Life: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2PCol1ffUWM& list=WL&index=3 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2PCol1ffUWM& list=WL&index=3  Foucault begins by saying that the beginning of the caceral (incarnation system) started with the opening of Mettray on January 22, 1840

11.  The Mettray prison had an extreme form of discipline that worked to modify the behavior of the prisoner.  The prison, adult or child, is subjected to a rigorous schedule.  Supervision and interrogation by deputies “hidden” in casual wear.  This lifestyle is “normalized.” Foucault looks at Mettray and argues that the carceral system, which starts at the prison, becomes blurred and spread during the classical age.  The carceral system spreads into the “social body,” our society. This has resulted in several things:

12. 1. Normalizing and connecting a disorder to the act of transgression. 2. Allows the recruitment of delinquents. 3!!! Succeeds in making the power to punish natural and legitimate. 4. The emergence of a new form of “Law” that includes judging and diagnosing 5. Its power/knowledge structure makes it hard to alter or change.
