Hi Nicole,
Have you read Roy Boyne's piece on post-panopticism (economy and
society 29/2), Richard Jones on digital rule (punishment and society
vol 2) and Iain Munro (forthcoming in Organization, this November) -
they all give critical assessments of the panoptic approach, and the
limits of disciplinary power/panopticism as an analytical concept.
I also like to refer to the history of sexuality vol 1 p 96 when I
need to think about the movement/stasis problems I get when thinking
about law, government and surveillance. I like to think about more
permanent organizational forms as 'strategic codifications' in
otherwise dynamic relations of power. I also like it because it cuts
through the levels of analysis implicit in more libertarian accounts.
Cheers!
