More than 250 years ago, Robert-François Damien, who had attempted to kill King Louis XV, was quartered in the Place de Greve in Paris. - The description of his heinous execution begins "To Supervise and Punish," one of the most revolutionary books on modern social theory. The bloody spectacle of the execution allows Foucault to demonstrate the differences between individual violence and state violence and to show how, over time, the main object of state control becomes not the body but the soul of the criminal. The evolution of methods of surveillance and punishment gradually transforms crude state violence into a complex mechanism of total biopower that envelops modern man in his daily life and forms a society of total control.
