Notes

1. The Body of the Condemned

  • Foucault started by discussing two different styles of punishment - Damiens the Regicide and Faucher's young prisoners in Paris.
  • Two processes: (1) disappearance of punishment as a spectacle (**amende honorable**, prisoners in public work). (2) A slackening of the hold on the body.
  • The way to evaluate the effectiveness of punishment changed: inevitability vs. visible intensity.
  • Blame is redistributed between conviction vs. execution.

Quotes

It is ugly to be punishable, but there is no glory in punishing.
