PANOPTICON






Bentham’s thinking

PANOPTICON


“Christopher Columbus's’s Egg”
“new type of gaze”

Great new innovation needed to easily and effectively exercise power

How a hospital is set up similar to prison

End of the eighteenth century Dr. were involved with politics, “health and cleanliness” were driving reasons for separation

Dr. were involved with the “separation “ or division of groups “sick “ or not sick

Gay / straight division

*spatial arrangement subject to control

Military and medical arranging space for land and health reasons

Important for an inmate to ceaselessly be under watch .... might lose the idea of wrong doing
