I’m feeling in an anti-authoritarian mood today, so, just for all you fans of quality assurance and the value-for-money approach to life, here’s something from Foucault. See what you can make of it.
“The judges of normality are present everywhere. We are in the society of the teacher-judge, the doctor-judge, the educator-judge, the ‘social worker’-judge; it is on them that the universal reign of the normative is based; and each individual, wherever he may find himself, subjects to it his body, his gestures, his behaviour, his aptitudes, his achievements.”
Discipline and Punish, p304.
