Examples Of Post Disciplinary Strategies

Disciplinary and post disciplinary strategies of social control are forms of law society established as a way to control people and use the law as a way to mold individuals into a collective. Discipline and social control are mechanisms of power that normalize the behaviour of people in society, which is accomplished through regulating the organization of space, such as with structures or architecture, of time with the use of timetables and individual’s activity and behaviour, such as movement. Moreover, an example of a disciplinary institution is prison or jails which are primary forms of social control, with some examples of post-disciplinary strategies of social control including surveillance such as with the design of the panopticon prison, …show more content…
According to the etymological meaning of the term exception (ex-capare), what is being excluded in the camp is captured outside, that is, it is included by virtue of its very exclusion. Thus, what is being captured under the rule of law is first of all the very state of exception” (Agamben, 2000, p. 40). Additionally, instead of assuming the definition of camps from the events that took place there, it is essential to analyze the particular political-juridical structure in which the development of camps was sanctioned: emergency law -- the temporal suspension of the state of law. Therefore “the camp is topologically different from a simple space of confinement” (Agamben, 2000, p. 20) - the camp is a space of exception outside of ordinary criminal and prison law. “The camp is the space that is opened when the state of exception begins to become the rule. In it, the state of exception, which was essentially a temporal suspension of the state of law, acquires a permanent spatial arrangement that, as such, remains constantly outside the normal state of law (Agamben, 2000, p. …show more content…
The camp intended as a dislocating localization is the hidden matrix of the politics in which we still live” (Agamben, 2000, p.43). Also, as Agamben highlights in his work the implications look at the question of “is there a way out of social control?” because social control in society mainly consists of throwing ‘law breakers’ into prison or jail as a response to deviance rather than trying to help the individual correct their mistake; so as a society how do we respond to that? How do people turn out from these forms of social control? How do we resist social control? These are all the questions raised from the readings this week and although social control is still in play, an example of helping individuals who are behaving outside the norms of society is the establishment of supervised injection sites (SIS) for intravenous drug users, as we have discussed earlier in this
