This is a section of an interview from Michel Foucault's Power/Knowledge and it explores the history of power. Foucault uses the eighteenth century as a case study for how the body became a site of control in Western societies. This era saw the emergence of systems for discipline that focused on the surveillance of the body and its sexual behavior, which created new forms of power that went beyond the classical state and focused on regulating the very individual. Foucault argues that this shift toward the body was not only repressive but also a means of control and regulation of individual behavior. He further asserts that this focus on the body has had a profound impact on our understanding of power in the modern world, ultimately leading to the emergence of new forms of power that are more subtle and diffuse than traditional power structures.
