V Panopticism

What is the major effect of Panopticon?

The major effects of Panopticon is the automatic function of power.

How does the architecture [institution] create and sustain a power relation independent of the person who exercises it?

The architecture of institutions sustains power in the inmates by been observed, and they don’t know when they are been watched so they don’t know when they are needed to act that way or not.

Read from P66 2nd paragraph, in what way is the Panoptican efficient?

"The efficiency of power, its constraining force have, in a sense, passed over to the other side - to the side of it's surface of application" 

How does the Panopticism do the work of a natural [scientist]?

"It makes it possible to draw up differences, among patients, to observe the symptoms of each individual

In what ways was the Panopticon a laboratory?

"But the Panopticon was also a laboratory; it could be used a machine to carry out experiments, to alter behaviour, to train or correct individuals"

List the conditions in which Panopticism strengthens power?

‘it can reduce the number of those who exercise it, while increasing the number of those on whom it is exercised. Because it is possible to intervene at any moment and because the constant pressure acts even before the offences, mistakes or crimes have been committed. Because in these conditions its strength is that it never intervenes, it is exercised spontaneously and without noise, it constitutes a mechanism whose effects follow from one another. Because without any physical instrument other than architecture and geometry, it acts directly on individuals; it gives ‘power of mind over mind’.

According to Julius (1831) how is the panoptic principle particularly useful in a society made of private individuals and the state?

It is useful because many people can be observed but not in a way that would make them go mad.

Also according to Julius, rather than suppress the individual, what effect does the panoptic principle have?

'individual is carefully fabricated'
