W1786420006 abstract "This thesis examines an assumption that has recently permeated socialtheory, that power and knowledge constitute each other and are mutuallyreinforcing. Knowledge is an instrument to be used to realise the interestsof some group, i. e. is subservient to agency. This assumption is oblivious tothe rise of realist social theory which has argued that the facilitatingframeworks of social life, structure and culture (which would typicallyinclude 'knowledge') must be construed as having a causal influencethemselves, regardless of what people make of them or do despite them.These do not automatically satisfy groups' wishes and may hinder them.The power/knowledge thesis has taken greatest hold in the study ofprisons; it is argued that the penal reforms instituted in the 19th centurywere designed to control prisoners so that what seemed like a benevolentregime was actually an efficient mode of control. Thus the ideas that wereused to direct the treatment of offenders were a means of power overprisoners. This thesis will incorporate historical material on the developmentof the prisons and show that supporting ideas of reform was not necessarilyan exercise in power, so undercutting the principal thesis of the power/knowledgeschool.I will draw on recent developments in social theory to show how theinterplay between power and knowledge might be better conceived. I willargue that only by estimating the logical connection between ideas can weunderstand their proper role- how they may facilitate or frustrate action. Thus I will query whether reform ever gained the prominence it did andshow that it had always to be balanced by its logical counterpart,deterrence." @default.
