Foucault's most famous diagram, the panopticon, presents "a mechanism of power reduced to its ideal form; its functioning, abstracted from any obstacle, resistance or friction, must be represented as a pure architectural and optical system: it is in fact a figure of political technology that may and must be detached from any specific use."…”

“…The tendency to think of spatial relations as the occurrence of discrete objects that have interiors (and consequently, which might be fractured) and exteriors or limits is typical of Foucault's writing. 106 The list compiled by the French geographers who interviewed him for the journal Hérodote describes a "profuse use of spatial metaphors -position, displacement, site, field; sometimes geographical metaphors even -territory, domain, soil, horizon, archipelago, geopolitics, region, landscape." 107 Similarly, in the 1964 essay "The Language of Space," Foucault gives "the gap, distance, the intermediary, dispersion, fracture and difference" as spatial metaphors.…”

Michel Foucault's Punitive Society lectures make clear that, for him, punishment presents a critical problem. On the one hand, Foucault struggles to develop a conceptual vocabulary adequate to punishment, and particularly to the prison-form as a penal development. On the other hand, the Punitive Society lectures clearly indicate the stakes of punishment. How, Foucault asks, might punishment focalize relations of power? How might it serve as a field of struggle? What does a punitive technology of power look like, if it exists? Indeed, across numerous works from the 1970s and 1980s, Foucault traces the varying place of penalties within penal and punitive tactics, showing how punishment reciprocates historical relations of power and problems of power. Yet it remains necessary to develop Foucault's account of punishment, which is never formalized. In this paper, I develop punishment as a polyvalent technology. Foucauldian punishment may be an analytic, a technology, and-in the allegorical "punitive city" from Discipline and Punish-a diagram of power. I argue that Foucauldian punitive power seizes the body in the name of an authority or a reified power to subordinate individuals to that authority, and with an objective to correct the individual's relation to a multiplicity. It operates "above," at the level of, and in "fragments" of embodied individuals. Further, with Foucault's account of the "punitive city," we find a theoretical model in which punishment becomes the ordering force of the social, and therein a diagram of punitive power exerted in extensive form across the social field.

“…This holds true regardless of the diverse positions on whether the concepts should be interpreted as metaphors (see Mitchell 2003;47), or embody techniques of controlling space with tangible outcomes (see Crampton 2013;Crampton and Elden 2007). …”

Abstract. The aim of this article is to reveal how two Foucauldian modalities of power, disciplinarity and biopolitics, are enacted in urban space as practices of social control and negotiation of norms beyond the limits of sovereign juridical power. The article contributes to other spatial studies based on the Foucauldian perspective in two respects: by combining the analysis of both disciplinarity and biopolitics, and by focusing on an urban neighbourhood, rather than a single institution.The characteristics of built structures in a mixed-use neighbourhood in Vilnius were analysed by combining observation and photo-documentation. Qualitative data analysis and thematic mapping of the data was based on coding categories originated from the Foucault's discussion on the divides and interrelations of power modalities in his lectures at the Collège de France.The findings show that each structure, regardless of its function, employs both disciplinary and biopolitical techniques of social control at three distinct levels: a) urban planning, prescribed functionality and its correspondence to actual use; b) means of limiting access, containment and transparency; c) circulation of populations and their compliance to the particular spatial setup they find themselves in.

“…His concern was not space in itself, but how space is situated within power/knowledge relations. 43 Foucault described space as being part of the "history of powers" whose influence stretched "from the great strategies of geopolitics to the little tactics of the habitat, [from the] institutional architecture [of] the classroom to the design of hospitals. " 44 Thus, space for Foucault is not a "preexisting" terrain but tied to power relations and the maintenance of social order.…”

Purpose There is a gap in the literature to understand how professionalizing systems intersect with socioeconomic and political realities such as globalization to (re)produce social inequities between those trained locally and those trained abroad. In this critical review, the question of how systemic racism is reproduced in health care is addressed. Method Electronic databases and nontraditional avenues for searching literature such as reference chaining and discussions with experts were employed to build an archive of texts related to integration of internationally educated health care professionals (IEHPs) into the workforce. Data related to workplace racialization were sought out, particularly those that used antiracist and postcolonial approaches. Rather than an exhaustive summary of the data, a critical review contributes to theory building and a spatial analysis was overlayed on the critical literature of IEHP integration to conceptualize the material effects of the convergence of globalization and professional systems. Results The critical review suggests that professions maintain their value and social status through discourses of “Canadianness” that maintain the homogeneity of professional spaces through social closure mechanisms of credential nonrecognition and resocialization. Power relations are maintained through mechanisms of workplace racialization/spatialization and surveillance which operate through discourses of “foreign-trainedness.” Conclusions Movement of professionals supports a professional system that on the surface values diversity while maintaining its social status and power through the (re)production of the discourse of “Whiteness.” The analysis shows how in the process domestic graduates are emplaced as the “rightful” citizens of professional paces while IEHPs are marginalized in the workforce.
