Human sciences were conveyed by a bodily discipline that fused subjection with objectification.
Evidence
I am not saying that the human sciences emerged from the prison. But, if they have been able to be formed and to produce so many profound changes in the episteme, it is because they have been conveyed by a specific and new modality of power: a certain policy of the body, a certain way of rendering the group of men docile and useful. This policy required the involvement of definite relations of knowledge in relations of power; it called for a technique of overlapping subjection and objectification; it brought with it new procedures of individualization. — Michel Foucault, Discipline & Punish- The Birth of the…, 465
