Like Caitlin, I also took interest in Foucault’s idea of punishment. The fact that he made the punishment types site specific, however, was misleading. Although Caitlin mentioned that his main focus was on the body, I found that Foucault’s idea of “authority” was the true site source in that all punishments occurred within society. While Foucault uses the term “site” to describe the effect the punishment had on the victim, the ultimate effect of these punishments is on society itself. It seems that society inflicts a certain pain upon itself, perhaps through the individual, yet eventually on the public in the public sphere. In this sense, it seems difficult to claim any sort of progression. While the punishment types may vary, the cycle of society producing punishments and these punishments becoming mainstays in society continues. This phenomenon, while taking place within society, has the ability to affect body, soul, and mind, despite the specific punishment type.
