Week #7: Casino Royale & Foucault.

This week, you're reading Casino Royale alongside two pieces by the critic Michel Foucault. I've included an image of the panopticon, a disciplinary innovation in architecture proposed by the English philosopher Jeremy Bentham, for your reference.

Please don't forget the other methodologies we've discussed with Dracula. Consider how they, as well as Foucault's ideas, might work in conjunction with Casino Royale. Also, as tempting as it is, please discuss Fleming's novel rather than the 20+ Bond films that have been made.

As I mentioned last class, your first original posts need to be in by Monday at midnight. And replies to your classmates' posts need to be in by Wednesday at midnight.

Have a great weekend.
