Michel Foucault's thought on control and surveillance in modern societies invites us to consider this work as a reflection on the "panopticon"⁴. The structure of invisible surveillance that permeates contemporary society becomes a metaphor for consciousness and passivity in the face of the established order, as Foucault addressed in his analysis of disciplinary power.
