Discipline produces individuality with four characteristics via four techniques
Evidence
To sum up, it might be said that discipline creates out pf the bodies it controls four types of individuality, or rather an individuality that is endowed with four characteristics: it is cellular (by the play of spatial distribution), it is organic (by the coding of activities), it is genetic (by the accumulation of time), it is combinatory (by the composition of forces). And, in doing so, it operates four great techniques: it draws up tables; it prescribes movements; it imposes exercises; lastly, in order to obtain the combination of forces, it arranges ‘tactics’. — Michel Foucault, Discipline & Punish- The Birth of the…, 251
Categorization
- DEFINE: The fourfold schema (cellular/organic/genetic/combinatory individuality, mapped to tables/movements/exercises/tactics) is the formal typology of disciplined individuality.
- XREF: The combinatory, cellular individual is exactly the atomized citizen of Oceania — the aggregate of isolated, synchronized bodies rather than persons. — connects to: Disciplinary time replaced initiatory mastery with graded progressive series — Michel Foucault, Discipline & Punish- The Birth of the…, 241; The modern concept of progress and individual development emerged from techniques of power. — Michel Foucault, Discipline & Punish- The Birth of the…, 243; Discipline sorts behavior into a graded continuum, not a simple prohibition — Michel Foucault, Discipline & Punish- The Birth of the…, 279 (+5 more)
