MICHEL FOUCAULT'S 'DISPOSITIFS DISCIPLINAIRES' A CRITIQUE OF MODERN GOVERNMENTALITY

In the article, the authors examine the dramatic and even tragic situation in society of people with various mental illnesses. Their abnormal 'consciousness-reverse' is the result of increasing evidence- based knowledge based on surveillance and interrogation techniques, and the comprehensive development of the 'knowledge society' under the vigilant control of the disciplinary authority with its a priori involvement in the use of force. The authors emphasize that the explication of how mental illness is treated contains a certain archaeology of knowledge and its necessary accompaniment: the genealogy of knowledge.
