The Viewer Society: Michel Foucault’s ‘Panopticon’ Revisited (1997)
In 1975 Michel Foucault published his widely acclaimed and important book Surveiller et punir: Naissance de la prison. The year is 1838, and Foucault’s source now is the rules for ‘the house of young prisoners in Paris’. The enormous popularity of the film implied the gathering of large crowds of people in large film theatres, blatantly contradicting Foucault’s thesis that in modern times we have moved away from the situation where the many see t…

The Defences of the Weak (Routledge Revivals): A Sociological Study of a Norwegian Correctional Institution
This is a sociological study of a Norwegian penal institution. The author spent two years in the institution, observing and interviewing inmates and staff, the target being to learn the extent to which American prisons fit with prison life in a different culture. He gives a fascinating answer to the question: Norwegian prisons were, at the time of the study, miles away from their American counterparts. The conflicts between prison officers and in…

Television, Public Space and Prison Population: A Commentary on Mauer and Simon
The article discusses the influence of television in and on public space. It maintains that with television, the world entered a qualitative new stage in the development of the mass media. Television has transformed public space into an enormous market place for entertainment, and functions as the spearhead of the modern entertainment industry. It is well known that crime is a perfect focus of attention for such an industry. The article does not …

The Viewer Society: Michel Foucault's `Panopticon' Revisited
The article takes its point of departure in one limited and consciously selected aspect of Michel Foucault's use of Jeremy Bentham's concept of `Panopticon': in his book Discipline and Punish, the aspect of surveillance, and the emphasis on a fundamental change and break which presumably occurred in the 1800s from social and theatrical arrangements, where the many saw the few, to modern surveillance activities where the few see the many. It is ma…

A Functional Equivalent to Inmate Cohesion
This paper is based on a sociological study of a Norwegian correctional institution. The study started with the general aim of providing information about staff-inmate relations in a correctional establishment. As it proceeded, it gradually focused on the inmates' defensive reactions to the so-called pains of imprisonment. The results point to the existence of a mode of reaction different from those so far described in the literature
