Foucaults concept of Discipline

This short paper will focus on and analyze major concept/distinction introduced by Foucault from the following list:

1. Positive and Negative Power
2. Genealogy
3. Sexuality
4. Biopolitics/biopower
5. Discipline
6. Homosexual/heterosexual
7. Techniques of the self
8. Governmentality
9. Critique
10. Panopticism
11. Power/knowledge relations
12. Problematization
13. Power apparatus

If you have a concept not on this list that you would prefer to write on, let me know. I am happy to discuss this with you and approve reasonable alternatives. You must have my approval to write on your own preferred concept.

The analytic paper (5-6 pages, double spaced, 12 point font, 1 inch margins) will explain and critique the selected concept, outlining its context of appearance, meaning, uses, merits, and limitations. The paper should be in part evaluative.EXCLUDE THE TITLE PAGE AS ONE PAGE.I WILL MAKE MY OWN TITLE PAGE
Your paper must draw on relevant original writings of Foucault and Foucauldians found in the course outline. It will also be based on two of the sources found in the “additional readings” for each session. For your paper you may use the additional readings from any class session, e.g. you may write on “governmentality” but draw on the additional readings for the classes on “discipline”. You may also select additional readings that are not listed in the course outline, but you must be in touch with me and obtain my approval before using the readings.

You should refer to the following as a guide to structuring your paper:

➢ Number the pages of your essay
➢ Include a title page with your name, student number and the title of the paper, which
should be interesting and informative
➢ Use clear, structured sentences and paragraphs throughout
➢ Use quotations effectively but sparingly
➢ Use in-text citations as in the following examples: (Oksala, 45), (Foucault in Rabinow, 198), (Dean, in course kit, 118)
➢ Include sub-headings within the paper where appropriate
➢ Use transition sentences between paragraphs and sections
➢ Maintain focus on the main point of the essay throughout
➢ Use examples as appropriate
➢ Include a bibliography that cites the publication details of the course texts and the course
kit in APA or other generally recognized format.
➢ Proofread and use an electronic checker on your paper to detect spelling and grammar
errors – your essay should be error-free in this respect
➢ Don’t deviate too far from the suggested essay length (5-6 pages).

Foucault concept of discipline

overview:Productivity,Training ,Bodies
Operating System
a)Hiearchial Observation b) Normalizing Judgment c) Examination
Panopticism as Model of Disciplinary Power
Discipline NOW
power is constant with truth
-more than one apparatus- ex discipline,security,pastoral power and sexuality
-multiple forms of apparatus power
-discipline must be con secularized
discipline- minimize in political cost and maximizing growth
main goal- maximize productivity;which is a norm- it also appoints productivity and costs
creates useful individuals through certain disciplines ex, soldiers
acts directly on the body of individuals to train them in factories,schools, hospitals and prisons
transforming the people from the inside-transforming the subjects to being productive
acts on each individual body and movement
Discipline: Aim and field of Operations(second slide)
Goal:Discipline has an overarching goal:to minimize political and economic costs and to maximize growth
Operation: Discipline tries to create to complain and useful people through rigorous systems of training,
Object:Discipline acts on the bodies of individuals
-making the individual visible,constantly finding ways to supervise and correct the abnormal
3 Components of Discipline:
a) Hierarchal observation
Each body placed under observation.This renders the individual visible and observable
Space is organized in a cellular way,with each individual put in a supervised space visible to authorities
Discipline operates through surveillance.The surveilled and the surveilled are in a hierarchical relation.
b)normalizing judgment
Discipline is normalizing (pervasive- society monitored by standardization)- unlike earlier form of criminal law which was all about punishment
How to normalize(think normal distribution):
-Take a category to be measured
-Determine the station and temporal field in which members of the category might be found
-Define the abnormal to the characteristics of the field
-Establish the range and distributions of the field
-Establishes immanent principles of comparison
-Locate individual performance in field
-Normalization blends the is and ought:individualize and differentiate and compare and optimize and include and exclude.
-About producing societies characterized by standardization
think of a norm distribution,it measures the norm in individuals
c) Examination
it links the first two components-hiearchical observation
Documents are produced about each individual
Links hierarchical observation and normalisation
puts individuals under observation by authorities
produces documents about each individual
makes each individual into a case with a biography and a history
Panoptican- model of discipline and power- hierarchal observation-technique of normalization
inversion of sight(e, Veri Hall)-examination= documentation,documenting all the prisoners(infractons,compliance)
– discipline optimizing individual performance
system of visibility,prison guard sees the prisoners all the time,but the prisoners cannot see them(organizational vision)
-prison- the enclosed, segmented space,observed at every point,in which the individuals are inserted in a fixed space,in which the slightest movements are supervised,in which all events are recorded,in which an uninterrupted work of writing links the centre and the periphery, in which power is exercised without division,according to a continuous hiearchical figure,in which each individual individual is constantly located,examined and distributed among living beings,the sick and the dead-all this constitutes a compact model of the disciplinary mechanism”discipline and push,197
Discipline- punishment and the transformation of punishment
– Foucault this is a model of discipline and power
The body is the prison of the soul- how and what the body is thought of=what counts,inner spiritual development
Discipline Now
is power a discipline?
controlled through consumption,desire and seduction(pleasures of shopping)
critique of Foucault
-Discipline has succeeded -we surveil ourselves
no longer a matter of training the body- what happens now is that the individual is made subject that continues output- positive monitoring
digital monitoring-monitoring undermines training-wanting to keep someone
-About performing
risk technolgist- reduce risks,prevent certain events from happening,deconstruct patterns now to affect later

Power apparatus/Dispositif-discipline- has to have all 4 forms
power does not have just one unique form
1)seeing:a system of visibility that forms objects,rendering some visible and others visible
2)saying:a regime of statements
3)power/knowledge relations that connect and disconnect seeing and saying
processes of subjectification in which subjects are formed and form themselves

Islamophobia: Islamophobia as a complex set of ideas and practices incompatible with the challenge of tolerance, a characteristic of the 21st century believed to rest on the recognition of the urgency of multiculturalism and pluralism

You will define Islamophobia as a complex set of ideas and practices incompatible with the challenge of tolerance, a characteristic of the 21st century believed to rest on the recognition of the urgency of multiculturalism and pluralism.

You must support your definition with very specific ideas and practices evident in Ranya Tabari Idilby’s Burqas, Baseball, and Apple Pie that are irreconcilable with pluralism and multiculturalism.

Next, you will discuss how to combat Islamophobia in the context of the urgent call for tolerance. This call is usefully delineated in Brown’s book “A new Introduction to Islam”, chapter 17: “Islam in the Twenty-First Century”, and Kalin’s, “Islamophobia and the Limits of Multiculturalism”. Argue for a strategy in the light of their views to overcome Muslim difficulties in the West and to bring about what Idilby calls “American (or Western rather) Islam.”

In this endeavor, you need to address the following questions:

1) What traditions in historical Islam suggest that it is a religion capable of handling diversity?

2) Do Islamic liberalism and Islamic feminism hold any promise of fostering this American Islam (Islam in the West)? You will want to support your answer with insights gained from Brown and Idilby. In Chapter 17, Browns reviews seminal books within these two scholarly pursuit as represented by the following scholars and their works: Fatima Mernissi, The Veil and the Male Elite; Amina Wadud, Quran and Women; Fazul al-Rahman, Islam and Modernity: Transformation of an Intellectual Tradition; and Khalid Abu al-Fadl, Speaking in God’s Name. Idilby finds the work of Abdolkarim Soroush relevant to indigenizing Islam in the West.

3) Most importantly: Is the West prepared to engage multiculturalism and pluralism in good faith? Is the concept of the “clash of civilizations,” popularized by Samuel Huntington, conducive to plurality (Idilby begins her discussion of this on page 196). If not, why?

Ethical and Legal Case Analysis in Nursing

The 85-year-old patient X with a heart condition has been admitted in the trauma unit for the total hip replacement surgery due to un-witnessed fall in the nursing home. Patient X was being looked after by Nurse A before she went into the surgery. After the successful total hip replacement surgery patient X was transferred back into the trauma unit. Nurse A was about to finish her shift and was in the process of handing over to Nurse B. In the middle of handing over process a health care professional (assuming that he came from the Operation Theater) interrupted the conversation between Nurse A and Nurse B. He informed the nurse A that the cardio medication was not given to patient X before surgery and left. The nurse A informed Nurse B the medication was not given to the patient because it was not charted in the drug chart. Nurse B advised Nurse A that she should not be concerned about this incident because the responsibility of creating the drug chart lays with doctor and nurses are only suppose to follow the drug chart. As a result of this the condition of the patient X deteriorated and patient X was transferred to Cardio Thoracic ward.

(The nurse B should have advised the Nurse A that she should have consulted with the doctor about her medications not charted. Nurse should be responsible and accountable for all the care she is providing to the patient.)

A study of desirable leadership of HK managers in a HK SME when managing both HK and Chinese subordinates and being managed by a US senior management team

An excellent dissertation based upon my dissertation proposal submitted and marked. This dissertation should be completed at the highest academic standard quality from the marked comments and further email comments from my supervisor that will be based on continuous future communication with my direct supervisor on this project and to the writer.
I will submit further details, including:
1/ the proposal submitted;
2/ the marked comments;
3/ the assigned supervisor’s so far email comments;

Then, I will assume the writer to start working on these based on the above and I expect to review the structure of the dissertation, see draft of the first few chapters for my supervisor further comments. eg. introduction and background, literature review, objectives, hypothesis and interview/questionaire questions designed. Once I receive his further comments. I will send to the writer to continuouly work upon his taste and direction.

This should be a continuous process of 30 days + extra days if necesssary for further changes in order to achieve the goal of getting an excellent final dissertation result. As I expect I will achieve the top grade since my average results so far are in ‘A’, I need another ‘A’ to achieve a distinction for my EMBA.

Fast Food, Fat Profits

During class on Friday, April 24th, we watched a documentary titled, “Fast Food, Fat Profits” (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ViZQkCYfufk).
The documentary featured several people implicated, in one way or another, with the fast food business or with the so-called obesity epidemic in America. The documentary channeled its materials through several frameworks (Goffman), which were employed in various ways from the beginning to end.

Your assignment for this week is to (1) identify at least two frameworks through which the documentary filtered its materials, objectively laying out how the documentary’s message was crafted into a cohesive and unitary whole. Please do not editorialize or make evaluative statements. I simply want you to identify what the frameworks are. Then, once you have objectively described two frameworks, I want you to (2) utilize “radical doubt,” which means you do not accept what is communicated at face value, that you assume the documentarian and the interviewees in the documentary have concealed information or they are providing a faulty representation of social reality. In other words, I want you to assume there is strong incentive to lie, mislead and evade.
It should be mentioned that practicing radical doubt is absolutely necessary for the growth of knowledge, in the generic sense, and for your own sociological growth, in the more specific sense. There are good reasons to practice radical doubt. For this assignment, your task is to show me what those reasons are. What is the value added of maintaining a cynical, doubting stance toward an author, authority, professor, expert, etc? Are there limits to the practice of radical doubt, of framing social reality through radical doubt?

Write 800-1000 words in a Microsoft Word document. And, as usual, submit to EEE. Due May 1st, 9am. Please follow the formatting requirements as stated in the syllabus. Failure to follow those requirements can result in a grade reduction.

Birth control and environmental sustainability

I have some pictures and some basic ideas about this paper. I will upload them later. My thesis is we should choose birth control over people’s rights to reproduce because our environment resources are running out due to the growing population. It is not responsible for the future generations to have less usable natural resources. Also, I am against abortion. Birth control does not mean we should use abortion.
