The text is a lecture excerpt from Michel Foucault's Power/Knowledge, a book that examines how power structures in society operate through social norms, institutions, and practices. In these excerpts, Foucault criticizes the traditional concept of sovereignty as a form of power, arguing that it does not adequately explain the power dynamics of modern society. He proposes a new model of power, disciplinary power, which operates through subtle mechanisms of surveillance, control, and normalization, rather than the explicit use of force or repression. Foucault also explores the interconnectedness of knowledge and power, suggesting that power operates not just through force, but also through the production of knowledge and truth, which are themselves shaped by power relations. He argues that this disciplinary power is woven into the fabric of modern society, impacting everything from the way we understand the body to the way we regulate ourselves and our actions.
