Michel Foucault’s Discipline and Punish is a foundational text in the field of critical theory that examines the evolution of punishment in the West. The text traces how, in the late eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, the practice of public torture and execution was replaced by imprisonment as the primary form of punishment. Foucault argues that the rise of the prison was not simply the result of humanitarian reforms but part of a broader shift in the nature of power. This new power was not based on the visible force of the sovereign, but on invisible mechanisms of discipline that aimed to regulate and control bodies and minds. The text analyzes how institutions like prisons, schools, hospitals, and factories became sites of disciplinary power, employing techniques of surveillance, classification, and normalization to shape individuals according to societal norms.
