Incarceration and the Incarcerated: Power and Resistance | Harvard-Yenching Institute

Incarceration and the Incarcerated: Power and Resistance Harvard-Yenching Institute: "Scholars have studied the institution of punishment in historical, socioeconomic, and psychodynamic contexts. Foucault, especially, reveals that prison is a place where the exercise of power and the body is seen in its clearest light and that the gist of such exercise resonates in institutions outside the prisons in subtler forms yet still with the same basic concept of surveillance and discipline which is concealed to the general public."?
