141: The Panopticon

Benjamin Boyce Season 1 Episode 141

Email us at DrJunkieShow@gmail.com

This week I wrap up a multi-part discussion of Foucault's theories of panoptic power, institutional knowledge, and discourses used to endorse awful ideas and beliefs about drugs and drug users. I also talk about Michel Foucault's car accident while high on opium, the notion of panoptic power, Jeremy Bentham's panoptic prison, discourse, stigma and stereotype.

Foucault audio at intro and outro from Century of the Self lecture series.
