Re: Mind's Eye Re: Motive

a docile body is defined by Michel Foucault "one that may be
subjected, used, transformed, and improved. and that this docile body
can only be achieved through strict regiment of disciplinary acts".

Foucault argues that we cannot choose to enter modern society; we are
controlled utterly by it through it technologies of power.

My own analysis starts from modern terror and goes back to Hobbes and
I see more room for resistance.- though I want to see literature and
film find ways for people to get involved.
