Durkheim and Foucault: Perspectives on Education and Punishment by Mark S.
Education and punishment are two crucial sites of the disciplinary society, approached by Durkheim and Foucault from different perspectives, but also in a shared concern with what kind of society might constitute an emancipatory alternative. This collection of essays explores the issues that are involved and that are illuminated through a comparison and contrast of two social theorists who at first sight might seem an unlikely couple - Durkheim and Foucault.
