Question:
The below quotations belong to which sociology theorists?
- “Big Brother is Watching You... For, after all, how do we know that two and two make four? Or that the force of gravity works? Or that the past is unchangeable? If both the past and the external world exist only in the mind, and if the mind itself is controllable – what then?”
- “[the United State and its Allies] justify themselves by propagating the idea of a global '(in)security,' attributed to the development of threats of mass destruction [and] terrorism...[this dispositif] is not the panopticon... It depends on the control of movement more than the control of stocks in a territory... It is management at a distance in space and time of the 'abnormals.”
- “…is a difference machine that sorts individuals into categories and classes on the basis of routine measurements. It is a discriminatory technology that allocations options and opportunities on the basis of those measurements and the administrative models that they inform…[it has] three integrated functions or processes: identification, classification, and assessment.”
- “The work of Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari is used to analyse the convergence of once discrete surveillance systems. The resultant … operates by abstracting human bodies from their territorial settings, and separating them into a series of discrete flows. These flows are then reassembled in different locations as discrete and virtual ‘data doubles.’”
- “Disciplinary power, on the other hand, is exercised through its invisibility; at the same time it imposes on those whom it subjects a principle of compulsory visibility. In discipline, it is the subjects who have to be seen. Their visibility assures the hold of the power that is exercised over them. It is this fact of being constantly seen, of being able always to be seen, that maintains the disciplined individual in his subjection.”
