He's got plenty to say about how we ping and pong, and why, and with, and FOR whom. (A panopticon was a 'prison design' proposed by Jeremy Bentham back in the eighteenth century. Cells were built around a central surveillance tower. The guards were able to watch everything unbeknownst to the cellmates. Foucault (another fellow-oz-opher) started using the 'noun' to describe hierachies of power within 'benign' democracies...) How Kingwell morphed this notion into 'an inter-subjective panopticon' eludes still, but I THINK he means we're all WATCHING as we're DOING ... thoughts always welcome, cheers, L Yup, all true from this p.o.v. anyway, ….have been considering the notion of ‘inter-subjective panopticons’ recently…phrase seemingly coined by Mark Kingwell, a fellow-oz-opher.
