The second reading for this week is Alexander Galloway’s ‘Protocol: How Control Exists after Decentralization’. One of the theories discussed was in the last chapter called: Periodization.
Here is a verrrrry quick overview…
– History can be divided into certain broad phases
– Late 20th century = post-modern or digital age
– Eras = classical, modern and post-modern
– In the last 100 years all have co-existed
– Foucalt focused on transition between classical and modern
– Discipline and punishment = people were expected to punish themselves
