O PODER DISCIPLINAR NA LITERATURA DE DAMÁSIO

Abstract

This work aims to analyze the literary discourse of Damásio and relate this literature to the theory of Michel Foucault, demonstrating the emergence of an architecture model according to a new policy strategy, namely the modern prison, but the genesis of a optical technique, called panopticism, directly related to discipline as a way of applying power. The Panopticon, a technique to be applied universally in which Foucault believes the possible generalization of this principle. Thus, the facts are, at first, contradict this universal vocation, since the Bentham Panopticon was made as such. In the nineteenth century, two elements of the Panopticon are at the heart of most prison projects and debates around it: it is the cell and the central point of control. In this perspective, this work also has to study the surveillance of society in the world today, analyzing the evolution that knows the free prison cell, according to the theoretical framework panopticismo of Michel Foucault and not of the rigorous Panopticon sense. The methodology used, is based on an interpretative research for understanding the panoptic phenomenon. And the results show that in this world of globalization, we live and we are all in an open prison.
