In this lecture for Arts One at the University of British Columbia in Vancouver, BC, Canada, Christina Hendricks discusses Foucault’s argument in Parts One (on the spectacle of public execution) and Three (on discipline and panopticism) of Foucault’s Discipline and Punish. She begins by talking about Foucault’s views of power, the relationship between power and knowledge, and his idea of his political role as an intellectual. Then she talks about the reversal of vision in the text, from the sovereign power being the spectacle (Part One of the text) to individuals being surveyed in disciplinary power (Part Three).
