- The Birth of the Prison Part 1 | Origins of Torture & Punishment | Michel Foucault
This video is the first part in a series on Michel Foucault's Discipline and Punish: The Birth of the Prison, which explores the historical "birth" of the highly efficient and cruel modern day prison system, which evolved from earlier forms of discipline and punishment, experimenting with public executions and torture.

The best video about Foucault. Thank you.
I am currently reading Discipline and Punish and this video has helped me deepen my understanding of the first part greatly. Thanks!
Glad you liked it! :)
great video, thank you!
Nice job made me cry
Great video, great summery, THANK YOU!
Happy you liked it and that it helped!
We're hoping to do something special for a Part 2.
Stay tuned!
Thank you for taking the time to watch. We're glad you found it valuable. Stay tuned for more!
Great job! However you really scared me with Sonata 14 as the background music, thats all I listened to on repeat when reading Discipline and Punish. What a eerie coincidence hahah
Zaq Eel haha. It definitely sets a certain mood! I’m happy you enjoyed it. :) thanks for checking us out!
Thank you so much for the summary video
You’re very welcome. It’s our pleasure.
The thing is that we DO still torture, but it is in the prisons, where (unlike earlier epistemes in the history of punishment) it is more psychological than physical and hidden from the public.
Thanks for your comment. That’s exactly it. We imagine that things have changed more than they really have. Public spectacles don’t exist anymore, and our current mechanisms promote hegemony (or borrow from Gramsci) much more effectively. And even then, physical torture is placed on a different level than psychological torture, and people would argue that the punishment fits the crime without compromising our values against physical torture. Insidious yet effective.
Really nice
excellent
great summary! lots os visuals
Thanks for watching! 🙏
Marvelous work, man!
Glad you liked it!
Part 2 is in the works and hope to have it out later this month.

This is great! Was a part 2 ever made?
Thanks for watching! And it wasn’t! In all honesty I’m so deep in Foucault at the moment that a part two will look radically different from what it would have, had I made the video 4 years ago… but mulling it over as I round towards reading Birth of the Prison! So stay tuned!
Puts the Mueller investigation into perspective.
And what perspective would that be?
Im at Ur presentation right now lol
Part 2 part 2 part 2 pleaseeeeee
Ahhh, I really wish we could. Here’s our predicament - this was a series made by my partner, Will, and he’s taking a sort of hiatus from the channel to devote time to completing his PhD, so it’s safe to say part 2 will be on hold, indefinitely. I’m sure this isn’t what you’d like to hear, but it’s the reality of our situation! 😬
aw its okay then
Is this the same guy from Scare Theater?!
wheres part 2 tho
Is there a part 2?
Not at the moment! But it definitely is on our radar for possible future vids! Stay tuned ;)
Is there Part 2 for this video?
There isn’t! My interests have taken me to other places at the moment. But I intend to revisit part two some time in the future. Thanks for watching! :)
is the second part out yet?
It isn’t, but I’ve just begun working on it again, but have podcasts and a video on Franz Boas in the works more immediately. I think it’ll take about 1-2 months until it’s released, so check back with us then. Thanks for your interest!
@@apartialperspective oh! good luck!
in middle of lecture add some informations,chapter number and name and line from the text
We’ll keep that in mind. Thanks for the suggestion. 👍
Where is the second part ? :c
We are hoping to work on a second part later this year! Considering how part 1 went, we’re planning on making part 2 a lil more in-depth and expansive. Plus, we’d like to touch on other theories before delving more deeply into Foucault. Thank you for watching and I hope you enjoy our channel! :)
oh, no part 2 :c
My thesis is about Discipline and punish,it will be great if u able to help me, thanks for the video.
ade septian glad you enjoyed it! What is your thesis exploring?
we are fucked
I would be careful when you say "we don't torture anymore" 4:34 . Whether you mean the entire world or "the west" when you say "we", this is entirely wrong; Amnesty International found evidence of torture in 79 countries, all of whom were part of the 155 countries that ratified the UN Convention Against Torture. Torture even still goes on today in democratic countries like the US. It is an incredibly dangerous misconception to telling an audience that torture no longer exists, it's a huge issue that needs to be addressed.
Ellie L Thanks for watching and commenting. That’s a great point, and it is wording that I hadn’t challenged myself on when writing its script. Torture is definitely still a tool used by and in the US. However, the type of torture communicated here is one of a brutal spectacle on public display. Torture exists, but even that looks different.
More conceptually and theoretically, that statement was used to communicate how Foucault articulated “power.” Torture is largely a symbol for what we might call an “old” or “barbaric” kind of punishment (I won’t go into those implications here). In the US, we’ve also moved towards other modes of punishment (no longer focused on physical torture on public display) that Foucault was trying to communicate about. We no longer spectate on bodies being brutalized, but on a more subtle punishment that is arguably worse. Bodies might not get tortured to the extent as they used to, but nowadays, our system has transitioned to normalizing how individuals are stigmatized, called criminals, and locked away without natural lighting or human interaction. “Justified punishment.” The prison industrial complex is a whole issue within itself, and the fact that most people probably still support the prison system (which is essentially legalized enslavement) is a testament to its power. One could definitely consider this torture as well, but it is still fundamentally different from what is being referenced here.
@@apartialperspective yes I know that, hence why I pointed this issue out - you should have included it in the video!
@@apartialperspective Brilliant way of putting it.
I hate the word "normal".
