    Michel Foucault (1926– 1984)‚ A Biography & Examination of His Theories “Anyway‚ my personal life is not at all interesting. If somebody thinks that my work cannot be understood without reference to such and such a part of my life‚ I accept to consider the question. I am ready to answer if I agree.

The body of the condemned This first section of Part One serves as an introduction to the entire book.  Examples of eighteenth-century torture provide Foucault with many colorful episodes to relate in his account of how penality changed in modernity.  Foucault relates an explicit account of Damien’s torture to introduce his subject (3-5) and compares that account of penality to Faucher’s timetable for prisoners published

    Alvarez English 1A 17 March 2013 Essay #2 “Both John Berger in “Ways of Seeing” and Michel Foucault in “Panopticism” discuss what Foucault calls “power relations.” Berger claims that “the entire art of the past has now become a political issue‚” and he makes a case for the evolution of “ new language of images” which could “confer a new kind of power” if people were to understand history in art.
