The Panopticon project for a model prison obsessed the English philosopher Jeremy Bentham for almost 20 years. In the end, the project came to nothing; the Panopticon was never built. But it is precisely this that makes the Panopticon project the best exemplification of Bentham's own theory of fictions, according to which non-existent fictitious entities can have all too real effects. There is probably no building that has stirred more philosophical controversy than Bentham's Panopticon. The Panopticon is not merely, as Foucault thought, "a cruel, ingenious cage," in which subjects collaborate in their own subjection, but much more—constructing the Panopticon produces not only a prison, but also a god within it. The Panopticon is a machine which on assembly is already inhabited by a ghost. It is through the Panopticon and the closely related theory of fictions that Bentham has made his greatest impact on modern thought; above all, on the theory of power. The Panopticon writings are frequently cited, rarely read. This edition contains the complete "Panopticon Letters," together with selections from "Panopticon Postscript I" and "Fragment on Ontology," Bentham's fullest account of fictions. A comprehensive introduction by Miran Bozovi? explores the place of Panopticon in contemporary theoretical debate.… (meer)

I didn't feel like I needed to have read this after I read it; I think the other work you encounter that talks about the panopticon does a pretty good job of summing it up, and I will be honest that I did not really understand the fragment on ontology. But I do appreciate the return to the text, and the introduction by Miran Božovič did a good job with the framework and exploring some of the points of the writings that I probably would have missed otherwise. If you're REALLY into like returning to the original text, or have other interests in Bentham's larger work (oops I don't) then obviously it makes sense for you to read this, but if you've already read the other works and are like "great" then you are probably okay on this one. More like 3.5 stars from me. ( )

Jeremy Bentham es considerado uno de los padres del utilitarismo, y se le conoce tanto por sus obras como por su actuación política. Aquí propone un sistema para mejorar las cárceles, favoreciendo la vida de los presos y su reinserción pero, sobre todo, haciéndolas más económicas, sobre la base del liberalismo que entonces (principios del siglo XIX) era lo más progresista. Como buen liberal, sus ideas son mecánicas y se imponen por sí mismas. Uno, con el autor, se sorprende de cómo es que no se aplican estas ocurrencias inmediatamente y sin discusión, de tan estupendas que son. A veces, este librito se parece más a un folleto publicitario que a un tratado.

El caso concreto que propone es una cárcel circular en la que todas las celdas estuviese abiertas hacia su centro, de modo que un único empleado pudiera así controlar en todo momento a todos los presos. Insiste en que este empleado debe ser empresario con el argumento, ya clásico, de que los intereses particulares se defienden mejor que los colectivos (una suposición como otra cualquiera). Parece ser que casi llegó a convencer a gobiernos reales para que las construyesen. Afortunadamente, entonces como hoy, además de iluminados disfrazados de arbitristas, hay gente con sentido común, y estas cosas no se llevaron a la práctica.

Eso sí, hay un tema colateral que hace esta obra interesante hoy en día, y es el control total de nuestros movimientos. Hoy no hace falta una construcción así, sino que todos estamos vigilados a través de dispositivos electrónicos, como éste en el que estoy escribiendo, que controlan nuestras actividades, nuestros gustos y nuestra vida. Gran Hermano y panóptico comparten método.

Como de costumbre en esta editorial, no sabemos el nombre del traductor pero tampoco el del epiloguista, que hace interesantes matizaciones. Parece ser Michel Foucault, pero ya digo que esta edición no lo aclara. ( )

Bentham the father of Utilitarianism is often blamed for the failure of our prison systems. But in comparison to what the legal /prison system was before him, it is markedly betetr. ALso the powers that eb made sure that even in his own time he would see the bastardization of his vision to rehabilitate those society failed, by teaching skills and educating the least of us so when they returned to society they would be better than the best of us. Once the government, business, and religion took over the wishes of one man to better society were pushed aside. ( )

MICHELLE PERROT E, per i prigionieri, impadronirsi della torre centrale non ha senso?
MICHEL FOUCAULT Sì. A condizione che non sia il senso finale dell'operazione. Se i prigionieri facessero funzionare il dispositivo panottico e risiedessero nella torre, credete forse che sarebbe meglio così che con i sorveglianti?
