Manoeuvre replaced implicit tradition with explicit prescribed syntax binding body to object.

Evidence

This obligatory syntax is what the military theoreticians of the eighteenth century called ‘manoeuvre’. The traditional recipe gives place to explicit and obligatory prescriptions. Over the whole surface of contact between the body and the object it handles, power is introduced, fastening them to one another. It constitutes a body-weapon, body-tool, body-machine complex. One is as far as possible from those forms of subjection that demanded of the body only signs or products, forms of expression or the result of labour. — Michel Foucault, Discipline & Punish- The Birth of the…, 234
