Post-panoptic

Post-Panoptic

Boyne (2000) spoke of post-panopticism (qtd. in Jewkes, 2004: 196).

According to Zureik (2003), Boyne (2000) provides five arguments for being post-Panopitic: 1) the many are watching the few (not the other way around); 2) monitoring is unnecessary because of self surveillance; 3) visualization is now second to simulation and prevention; 4) total institutions are fallible; and 5) empirical evidence challenges a docile workforce (p. 41).
