panopticon


Once upon a time, at conferences, it was - at least it felt - obligatory to nod at Foucault at least once in one's paper.  This NAVSA, I think I might have heard him invoked once - and as a point of reference rather than as an authority.  All the same, that does nothing to demolish the presence of panopicons - panoptica? - in industrial urban complexes (aka another view from my grubby hotel window).
