French philosopher [[Michel Foucault]] "has argued that the rise of parliamentary institutions and of new conceptions of political liberty was accompanied by a darker counter-movement, by the emergence of a new and unprecedented discipline directed against the body. More is required of the body now than mere political allegiance or the approbation of the products of its labor: the new discipline invades the body and seeks to regulate its very forces and operations, the economy and efficiency of its movements&nbsp;... the production of 'docile bodies' requires that an uninterrupted coercion be directed to the very processes of bodily activity, not just their result; this 'micro-physics of power' fragments and partitions the body's time, its space, and its movements".<ref name=":1" />

The 18th-century English philosopher [[Jeremy Bentham]]'s [[Panopticon]] is a theoretical model of Foucault's ideas. Its constant state of surveillance, imposed by an oppressive external force, serves {{"'}}to induce in the inmate a state of consciousness and permanent visibility that assures the automatic functioning of power'; each becomes to himself his own jailer".<ref name=":1" />
