Round 2: Tossup 16

A concept central to this book is described as a “positive economy” that extracts even more “available moments” for even more “useful forces.” This book argues that the organization of “serial space” was a “mutation” that allowed rank to supersede traditional systems. In this book, a description of soldiers marching in step is used as an example of “docile bodies.” A meticulous timetable (10[2])created by Léon Faucher (“fo-SHAY”) is contrasted with violence as public spectacle in this book’s first chapter, (-5[1])“The body of the condemned.” The “carceral” system extends across all of society according to this book, which asks “Is it surprising that prisons resemble factories, schools… (-5[2])which all resemble prisons?” For 10 points, name this book by Michel Foucault that compares the observation of modern society to Jeremy Bentham’s Panopticon. ■END■ (10[3])
