Abstract

As a product of media technology, the rise of network circusee has greatly inspired people’s imagination on technology empowering. With Foucault's panopticism perspective, this paper considers that the network circusee essentially reproduced the power dynamics of "panopticon". Those who be circuseed will finally be self-disciplined by the eyes of the power. Different from the traditional point of view, this paper argues that the "rational circusee" is not able to rescue the “be-circuseed” ones from the captivity of spirits. Through "national wide discipline", the circusee maintaine and consolidate the existing order.

Key words

Foucault / panopticism / network circuse
