Description The intellectual foundation of
the work is built upon Foucault's theories about power relationship...the panopticon (a circular jail built around a central warders' block) is the perfect
"prison". Its architecture prevents the prisoners from knowing when they are being watched by the guards...Osborne has extrapolated this to examine how ordinary people accomodate
themselves to formal social regulations.
