Sovereign vs. Disciplinary power

In this essay I will be discussing Foucault's theory on the transition of power, and the characteristics of both Sovereign and Disciplinary power. I will also demonstrate how they affect and are displayed in the institution of marriage.

Foucault's Sovererign vs Disciplinary Power, and its application within East Bay Consortium

In addition, disciplinary power has three mechanisms: hierarchical observation, normative judgment, and examination. Secondly, I will the powers within East Bay Consortium, which uses disciplinary power.

This paper compare mechanical and organic solidarity.  This paper also discusses how mechanical and organic solidarity applies to the trade labor unions.

This essay discusses the difference between Mechanical Solidarity and Organic Solidarity and how each one of them operates in the Theater (performing arts) institutions.

MS and OS within East Bay Consortium

I will show how both Mechanic Solidarity and Organic Solidarity exists within East Bay Consortium, with Organic Solidarity as the dominant form. There is a division of labor within the hierarchy of the organization to make the common goal possible, which increases the solidarity among the staff.

Welfare and Solidarity

Durkheim discusses the relations in society for those who are a part of division of labor. My essay focuses on how Durkheim doesn't mention what life is like for those who are excluded from the division of labor. People on welfare are unemployed, so are they treated differently for not contributing to society?

Fanon 2 p.m. Discussion Review

So, a request for Fanon notes inspired me to figure out a way to post the Fanon discussion last week onto the blog. At first, I thought posting audio to the blog would be utterly impossible because there was all this jargon involved about embedding, widgets, hosting, showing link fields, and enclosures. Yikes, I thought. But alas, I tried and herein I offer you, the disciples of theory, Mike's 2 p.m. discussion on Fanon, for your hearing pleasure.
