Abstract

This paper intends to analyze the novel The Circle written by Dave Eggers, from Foucault’s perspective on power. In his book, The History of Sexuality Volume-1, Foucault (1991) tries to correlate knowledge and power, maintaining that knowledge is the medium through which power is attained. The paper highlights how the technically vibrant company gains power through digital knowledge, bringing about a revolution in a democratic society. This revolution affects the dominant pillar of democracy, which is the legislature. DBy bringing democracy indirectly under its control, the company modifies the power structure in society and digitally not only allures but also subordinates people around the globe. Thus, through Digitized knowledge The Circle acquires power over both the virtual and the real world. Keywords: Foucault, Democracy, Dominance, Power, Society.
戴夫·埃格斯的《圆圈中的福柯权力
本文试图从福柯的权力视角来分析埃格斯的小说《圆圈》。福柯在1991年出版的《性史》第一卷中试图将知识和权力联系起来,认为知识是获得权力的媒介。这篇论文强调了这家技术上充满活力的公司是如何通过数字知识获得权力的,并在民主社会引发了一场革命。这场革命影响了民主的主要支柱,即立法机构。通过将民主间接置于其控制之下,该公司改变了社会中的权力结构,并以数字方式不仅吸引了全球各地的人们,而且还使人们处于从属地位。因此,通过数字化知识,The Circle获得了控制虚拟世界和现实世界的权力。关键词:福柯,民主,统治,权力,社会。
