Round 4: 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.” (-5[1])A meticulous timetable created by Léon Faucher (“fo-SHAY”) is contrasted with violence as public spectacle in this book’s first chapter, “The body of the condemned.” The “carceral” system extends across all of society according to this book, (10[1])which asks “Is it surprising that (10[1])prisons resemble factories, schools… which all resemble prisons?” For 10 points, name this book by Michel Foucault (10[1])that compares the observation of modern society to Jeremy Bentham’s (-5[1])Panopticon. ■END■ (10[2]0[3])
