Modern State and Power: Weber and Foucault
“The prison, the factory and the school, like the army, are places where they system can project its conception of the disciplinary society in the reformed criminal, the good workers, student, loyal soldier and committed citizen” (O'Neill, 1986)

Instilling the Disciplinary Society
IMAGE 4
• School is perhaps the most influential factor for children, instilling in them the values of majority society from a young age
Industrial Discipline
IMAGE 5
• “...worker
discipline was the
main ingredient
aimed at
improving the
moral habits of the
labouring poor, to
make them
orderly, punctual,
responsible and
temperate”.
(O’Neill, 1986, pp.
47)
The Taylorist System was created during the industrial revolution around the belief that workers were lazy
Prisons and Society
“To punish less, perhaps; but certainly to punish better.”(Foucault, 1975)

Expanding the Penal State
“Its like a trash receptacle,
prisoners have been thrown away
like trash. The conditions are
subhuman. Go ahead, write that
down: subhuman”
- Chief of Sao Paolo’s third police precinct, cited in Waquant (2008)

Conditions for democracy
“Democracy does not guarantee
equality of conditions – it only
guarantees equality of
opportunity”
(Irving Kristol, 1978)
Are liberal democracies democratic?

democracy and a dictatorship is
that in a democracy you vote
first and take orders later; in a
dictatorship you don’t have to
waste your time voting.”
- Charles Bukowski

Critiquing citizenship
“We may all be human, but

and degraded some of its
parts. Humanity is not
one...Human rights...do not
belong to humans; they help
us construct who and how one
becomes human”
(Costas Douzinas 2009)

Thomas Piketty (2014):

the economy can grow
2. Income inequality is likely to
get worse
3. Inequality will not self correct
4. Top managers: no evidence
that higher wages lead to more
productivity
5. Balancing the books makes
matters worse
