The panopticon beyond monitoring and punishing
Abstract
The Panopticon is assumed as a means that models or determines human activity, taking into account that it has managed to predate the contemporary media, but in turn has managed to transcend them. The principle of inspection is disseminated through the legislative, executive and judicial, trade and school, while the technique is applied through the closed circuit surveillance, satellite, television, film and even the book. The panopticon appropriates other techniques or means and puts them at your service, this is the case of the camera, the mirror, the satellite, the cell phone, the videoconference, the credit card, the radio, the jail, the internet, and all those who are capable of allowing inside them the trace, the imposition of behaviors and print behaviors.
