Communication Breakdown: Cutting off the Flow

Following Foucault’s famous study of disciplinary society, Deleuze suggests that we are moving away from discipline toward a regime characterised by “continuous control and instant communication” (1990b: 174). This is not a claim that disciplinary mechanisms are obsolete, but that the overall regime of power has evolved: the architecture of “panopticism”, as we will see, is too rigid a model of functioning to capture “the ultrarapid forms of apparently free-floating control” (Deleuze 1990a: 178) that have become reality with the cybernetic machine. In control societies we are confronted with a new arrangement of space-times, a redistribution.
