The disciplined body and the occasion of freedom: Analysis of the psychiatric hospital and the school in the thought of Michel Foucault
Keywords:
Body., Discipline., Exam., Power., Freedom.Abstract
In the present article the concept of the disciplined body will be analyzed, properly entering Foucauldian analysis from the study of the discipline, its technologies and power. In this way, we will proceed in a way that it is possible to patent how the Body works under an invisible disciplinary methodology applied in the area of education and health. It is no longer about Power understood in its materiality as a centralized staff, it is not the Crown or the sword that symbolizes power, but it operates as a microphysics in a relationship that unfolds in all relationships, a qualitative element present in all human practices and behaviors, being therefore possible to docilitate the Body as a result of a concept of disciplinary power, using the basic Institutions -school, hospital and jail- as control tools from the examination they exercise and construct the precise elements for social control and the loss of freedom.
