In my Prison Industrial Complex course we’ve been discussing how the threat of police presence informs the way we act, how policing pervades our psyche even when not physically present. I think the panopticon and conceptions of governmentality relate directly to the ways in which we reproduce the logic of policing through self-regulation. We think that the police can see us, as if we were living in a national panopticon, though we are essentially free in most situations.
Dude, we were doing a bastardized version of this discussion in my Sociology class. Interesting stuff, Patrick.
I’ve always wanted a rotating bookshelf with a secret passage!
Rotating bookshelves / hidden passage
Want.
Morgan and I at the UCLA Regents protest last Thursday, sitting and blocking a Regent in the van from leaving. There are more videos but I’m too lazy to find it at the moment. The protest was exhilarating. Tons of students coming together and dedicated to the same cause. Also, that ‘drum thing’ from Eddie that I’m holding in my hand was so badass.
Sup, Tumblr. I’m checking you out. Also, feeling extremely lame listening to the New Moon soundtrack.
To go to the UCLA protest for public education. I feel like death incarnate. How do people not manage to sleep? D:
not sleeping isn’t so bad
also that protest is already getting coverage, and its only like 9am here? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=33UU6MKuWSE&feature=player_embedded
unless its from some other time or something
I think that was from yesterday. Two day protest, the Regents are coming today to ‘vote’. Wish me luck that I don’t get tasered and/or arrested!
