Producing ‘docile bodies’: disciplining citizen-subjects

Pages 1042-1046 | Received 21 Feb 2017, Accepted 18 Mar 2017, Published online: 14 Nov 2017
 

Abstract

The US academy has been anti-democratic in philosophy and practice from its inception, seeking to discipline students as docile bodies cooperative with a white supremacist status quo. This Foucauldian analysis highlights how the academy’s historical and ongoing enforcement of discipline and normalizing judgments made the outcome of the 2016 US presidential election inevitable. Yet, this essay concludes by lifting up the consistent resistance of Black students as the foundation for the liberatory revolution necessary within the academy.
