Abstract: | Jeremy Bentham’s concept of Panopticon introduced the notions of complete regulation, discipline, and observance. It is an official way of accomplishing procedures of coercion and surveillance to ensure a structured working of an edifice of discipline. Correspondingly, the notion of discipline, Foucault believes, serves as a method of power employed to control the society. Surveillance is a seminal discourse in literary fiction which often assumes the repercussive nature of political events as tropes of discursive hegemony therefore this paper explores the concept of Panopticon as a monumental apparatus of power depicted in George Orwell’s 1984. |
