Power was alla bout king, beginning torture as a public display disappeared and
Oscar also liked physical pain. It became more decent and humane. The one who
performed the punisher so the public didnt know woh it was because of his hood.
When it came to the modern age it was more about social factors than about
punishing. The motive behind the crime became more relevant.
was normalization. The punishment transition: teachers should not only punish
bad children, but to reward children who did well and behaved well. Biopower
goes together with the power of knowledge. Science, industry, etc. were

Similarities and differences between Elias and Foucault
Foucault calls it discipline, Elias is about self-control.
Better behaving society, both talking about how behavior and habits are formed.
Elias is about interdependencies and Foucault is about discipline and punishment.
Foucault is more spread over whole society, you cant appoint one individual,
with Elias you can. Foucault, the one with knowledge has power (not one specific
individual) , Elias, the king has the power. Elias does not mention capitalism. ( A
little bit on development of economics.) Foucault is more up-to-date. It is easier
to recognize, there are norms by knowledge and supervision by being watched.
Both are relevant, obviously. Elias promotes individualism, Foucault does not at
all.
