Websites

Some website which i came across while researching Foucault's theory of panopticism. Some of these sites i feel may become useful in the future. Best take a note of the sites before i loose them.

  • http://cartome.org/panopticon1.htm
  • http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Panopticism
  • http://www.associatedcontent.com/article/364318/panopticism_explaining_the_concept.html

Lecture notes 1

The notes below are from our lecture on Panopticon. I tried to take down essential info including: names, books, quotations etc. I feel my essay will be based upon the theory of panopticism and the design of the panopticon.
I found myself very interested in this lecture and have since created a reading list for a potential essay. The list includes:

  • Punishment and Culture - Philip Smith
  • Punishment and Retribution - Leo Zaibert
  • Prisons and Prison Systems - Mitchel P Perth
  • Discipline and Punishment. The birth of the Prison - Michael Foucault
